PALM SPRINGS, CA – V Capri Palm Springs, a Dolce by Wyndham hotel, announces its next chapter under Sam Nazarian’s sbe Entertainment Group, one of the world’s pioneering lifestyle hospitality companies behind globally recognized brands including SLS, Mondrian, Katsuya, Hyde and more, as part of its rapidly expanding HQ Hotels & Residences collection.
The property will undergo a significant evolution designed to introduce iconic restaurant brands, enhanced guest amenities and thoughtfully curated programming that positions V Capri Palm Springs as one of Southern California’s premier travel destinations.
Owned by Mark Geragos, V Capri Palm Springs will continue operating as a Dolce by Wyndham hotel while benefiting from sbe’s global expertise. Located just minutes from downtown Palm Springs, the 143-room boutique hotel is known for its design-forward accommodations, two distinct pools, mountain views and relaxed social atmosphere that blends modern comfort with effortless desert style.
Building on sbe’s longstanding influence across Southern California, the property extends the company’s vision to one of the region’s most iconic resort locales.
“V Capri Palm Springs already has an authentic personality and a loyal following, which made it such an exciting opportunity for us,” says Sam Nazarian, founder, chairman and CEO of sbe. “We’re building on that foundation with the creativity, energy and attention to detail that define our portfolio, creating something that feels fresh while staying true to what makes this hotel unique.”
“From the beginning, our vision has been to create a property that captures the spirit of Palm Springs while continuing to evolve with today’s traveler,” adds Geragos. “With sbe, we’re building on that foundation through meaningful investment and an elevated guest experience that will set a new standard for the destination.”
As part of a planned multi-million-dollar enhancement, the property will undergo a phased reimagining focused on redefining the guest experience through refreshed accommodations, revitalized public spaces and elevated food and beverage offerings. Beginning later this year, Umami Pool will debut as an adults-only day-to-night venue featuring the brand’s notable food, cocktails and entertainment. In early 2027, the current Gigi’s Restaurant will transition to Katsuya Ko, introducing sbe’s renowned pan-Asian concept to Palm Springs. Additional cosmetic enhancements to guestrooms and public spaces will work to further elevate V Capri Palm Springs’ chic desert aesthetic while creating dynamic gathering areas for overnight guests and locals alike.
The addition of V Capri Palm Springs marks another milestone in the continued expansion of HQ Hotels & Residences. Backed by strategic partner and equity investor Marc Anthony and his company Magnus, the rapidly growing hospitality platform continues to build momentum following the openings of The Monarch Hotel in New Orleans and Hodges Bay Resort & Spa in Antigua. Forthcoming projects include HQ Cas En Bas Resort & Residences in Saint Lucia and HQ Residences Edgewater in Miami, as the company continues its strategic expansion toward 50 hotels worldwide.
