Best 5 Hotels in Palm Springs

Friday April 16th 2010 @ Coachella Sahara Tent. One of the top shows, if not the top show that weekend, hands down. 8 videos total. Camera is very shaky at some points. Had the speaker nearby, so it was hard to keep steady with so many people dancing. Video shot on the wonderful Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3.

Article by Ryan Frank

Palm Springs is one of the top resort destinations in California. For decades, people have been coming to this desert oasis to enjoy the fine dining, shopping, spa resorts and world-famous golfing. Located in the Coachella Valley, Palm Springs is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and is home to some of the most spectacular desert landscapes in the Sate. When you go to Palm Springs, you’ll find yourself with a multitude of options when it comes to hotels. There are many quality places to choose from, so deciding where to stay can be difficult.

If you are looking for a hotel with a little history, look no further than the Willows Historic Palm Springs Inn. The Willows has been host to a wide variety of historic celebrities, including Albert Einstein, Clark Gable and Carole Lombard. The hotel has been updated with all the modern amenities, but it has been restored and kept so as to retain the look and feel of its time. It has beautiful hillside gardens, for when you need to sit back, relax and enjoy the desert view.

For affordable, high-class lodging in Palm Springs, try the Holiday Inn. The Palm Springs Holiday Inn boasts deluxe guest rooms with free high-speed wireless Internet and LCD flat-screen TVs. The private patios and balconies let you enjoy the beautiful desert views. The Holiday Inn is located near some of the major shopping centers and dining attractions in Palm Springs. There’s also an Olympic-sized pool and Jacuzzis, complete with poolside courtyard and bar.

Though smaller than the rest of the hotels on this list, The Villa Royale remains one of the best in Palm Springs. It has 30 unique guest rooms and suites with private courtyards, two heated pools and a luxury Jacuzzi. The Villa Royale was included in Sunset Magazine’s list of “West’s Best Small Inn”.
