Element Palmdale

Element Palmdale is a contemporary, eco-conscious extended-stay hotel located at 39325 Trade Center Drive in the West Palmdale commercial corridor of Palmdale, California. Operated under Marriott International’s Westin-inspired Element brand, this three-star property serves aerospace contractors working at Air Force Plant 42, corporate visitors along the Antelope Valley Freeway, and leisure travelers exploring the high desert and the nearby Angeles National Forest. Built with a strong emphasis on natural light, open-plan studios, and sustainable operations, the hotel pairs residential-style accommodations with wellness-focused amenities.

What to Expect at Element Palmdale

Accommodations at Element Palmdale are designed around long-term comfort and productivity rather than standard overnight hotel layouts. Guests can choose between open-concept King and Double Queen studios or spacious one-bedroom suites. Every room features the signature Westin Heavenly Bed, ergonomic workspaces with movable desks, spa-inspired bathrooms with rainfall showerheads, and fully equipped kitchens or kitchenettes complete with full-size refrigerators, two-burner stovetops, microwaves, dishwashers, and cookware. Large windows bring in the bright high-desert daylight, while filtered water dispensers are built directly into the kitchen sinks to reduce single-use plastic waste.

Outside, the landscaped courtyard features a heated saline swimming pool, fire pits, and built-in barbecue grills where guests can cook dinner after a day in the Antelope Valley.
