Palm Springs Airport
Flying into the Palm Springs Airport is by far the most convenient option, if available. The airport is small and incredibly convenient, both to navigate as well as to get into town, as it is only two miles east of downtown.
ONT, SNA, LAX
If flying directly into Palm Springs isn't an option, Ontario, Santa Ana and Los Angeles offer the next closest options, respectively. You will find the most flights in and out of LAX but be forewarned that everything you have heard about LAX is true. Same goes for LA traffic. Flying into any of these airports will require you to rent a car and drive to Palm Springs. Unfortunately, the drive can be over three hours from LAX if leaving during rush hour.
Rental Car, On Foot, Or Rideshare
It is up to you if you would like to rent a car for the weekend. If flying directly into Palm Springs Airport, downtown and our hotel room blocks are about a five minute drive and Ubers and Lyfts are readily available at the airport. Once at the hotel, it is about one-mile to some of downtown's most popular restaurants and bars.
Unfortunately on a recent trip to Palm Springs, we ran into quite a bit of difficulty getting and an Uber or Lyft while in downtown Palm Springs, with wait times of 20+ minutes. For this reason, we tend to recommend renting a car. Renting a car is a great option if you would like the convenience to explore Palm Springs further, including nearby hiking and hot springs. Additionally, it is May in the desert so it will be hot and maybe walking doesn't sound all that appealing.
The O'Donnell House is a historic home situated at the base of Mount San Jacinto. Given its narrow hillside location, cars and busses are not allowed access up the home's driveway.
Guests will be shuttled from the base of the driveway up to the venue via golf carts. As such, we ask that guests arrive as close to 4:00pm as possible to help us ensure we are able to get everyone up the hill before the ceremony begins.
Bus Shuttles
There will be four bus shuttles departing from the Ingleside Inn at the following times:
3:50pm / 4:00pm / 4:10pm / 4:20pm
Bus shuttles will drop guests in the parking lot of the Palm Springs Art Museum at the base of the venue's driveway, where golf carts will be available to take you up the hill.
Please understand that we are offering four shuttles to help manage the flow of getting our guests into our venue so we kindly ask that you take the earliest shuttle possible.
Driving
If you choose not to take one of our shuttles, please arrive at the following address to catch a golf cart ride up the hill. Golf cart shuttles will begin at 4:00pm.
Palm Springs Art Museum
NW corner of parking lot
101 N Museum Drive, Palm Springs, CA 92262
Note that parking in the lot for non-museum guests is not allowed so we suggest Uber or Lyft as the most convenient options but please be mindful of wait times.
