Just in case you hadn’t yet noticed, we should point out that Palm Springs is one of the hottest spots in California right now. A whole bunch of new downtown developments have given an extra boost to a desert resort that was already well on the up, and everyone seems to want to join in the fun.
An an open poolside setting framed by the towering San Jacinto mountain range. It also houses Cartel Coffee Lab, , and the Ice Cream Shop(pe); and Ince cream parlour with artisanal ice cream desserts, and gift shop rolled into one.
The atmosphere is distinctly orientated towards having fun. Anyone is welcome at the hotel pool and the bar seems to be open all night (actually until 2am). There are happy hours late afternoon and ‘after hours’ late evening where often the scene is very much ‘pool-party’. Events are frequent and original – how about a ‘Dive-in’ Movie poolside watching Jaws on a giant screen – either poolside, or even better still, in the pool along with the inflatable sharks!
This is a spot – as I am sure you can imagine – that can get quite busy, but you can avoid crowds by picking timings away from weekends or peak evenings. But hey, why not just bring your swimwear and come join the party?
