Palm Springs sit on the edge of southern California deserts surrounded on three sides by dramatic all-rock mountains and littered with over 100 of the most manicured golf courses in the world; it all congeals into some of the most uniquely beautiful landscape in Southern California, making it an obvious choice for the discerning Los Angeles resident looking to get away. Here are some Palm Springs Hotels that I would check out for your next trip to the area:
- Le Parker Meridien Palm Springs the luxurious hotel is located four miles southeast of central Palm Springs. Gene Autry founded the hotel as Gene Autry’s Ocotillo Lodge though throughout the years it has transformed into a top ranked spa that is frequently photographed for national design magazines. The interior design is a blend of 1950’s and 1960’s styles with amenities including four red clay tennis courts, two indoor pools, two outdoor pools, executive golf course, bocce, croquet, gym, sauna, steam room and meeting rooms. Rooms are well appointed with everything you could ever need on your Palm Springs vacation.
- The Hyatt Regency Suites, located in downtown Palm Springs, houses 194 suites each with a separate living room. Hyatt’s Palm Springs hotel offers two places to dine; the Palm Court Cafe and Bar Blue, and you can take advantage of the on-site gym, putting green, walking and jogging trails, spa, and yoga. With close proximity to top golf courses, the Aerial Tramway, Joshua Tree National Park, Indian Canyons, shopping, tennis, celebrity tours, and theaters, the Hyatt offers a more traditional way to experience Palm Springs which makes it so special.
- The Hotel California, a small boutique option for Palm Springs, is located in the heart of Palm Springs proper. It features 17 quaint rooms ideal for romantic weekends while remaining just minutes away from golf and within blocks of shops, restaurants and art galleries. Relax in the pool or hot tub typical of the resort experience, but there is one unique feature to this hotel; these nicely decorated rooms are pet friendly.
