WorldMark Palm Springs — Plaza Resort and Spa is a vacation ownership resort in Palm Springs that welcomes dogs and offers condo-style accommodations with significantly more space than a typical hotel room. The self-catering setup means you get a full kitchen to work with, which is a real advantage when traveling with a dog and want the flexibility to eat in rather than hunt for pet-friendly restaurants for every meal.

The resort sits adjacent to Arnold Palmer’s Tahquitz Creek Golf Resort, so golfers can step right onto a championship course without driving anywhere. For non-golfers, the resort offers spa services, pool areas, and enough on-site amenities to fill a day without leaving the property. The condo-style rooms give your dog substantially more room to settle in compared to a standard hotel. Tiled floors and separate living areas make it easier to keep your dog comfortable and maintain their routine even while on vacation.

The resort grounds provide space for walks, and the surrounding Palm Springs neighborhood is quite walkable for morning or evening strolls with your dog. You’ll find tree-lined streets and a generally relaxed vibe that makes exploring the area on foot genuinely pleasant. The property itself feels more residential than commercial, which your dog will likely appreciate after time in the car.

Palm Springs itself is one of the most dog-friendly cities in the Coachella Valley. Downtown offers dog-friendly restaurant patios along Palm Canyon Drive where you can grab coffee or a bite while your dog hangs out beside you. Local parks and hiking trails are a short drive away. The Indian Canyons trails are particularly popular with dog owners looking for a scenic desert hike with plenty of shade from the canyon walls. If you want to explore beyond the resort, there’s genuinely plenty to do without your dog feeling left behind.
