Colony Palms Hotel
572 North Indian Canyon, Palm Springs, CA, USA
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
There are two ways to go with the rehabilitation of a classic motor inn like the Thirties Spanish-style Colonial House. Keep it simple, cheap and funky, smoothing out the rough edges while making the most of the place’s built-in charm. Or else do what the owners of the Colony Palms did: turn it into a high-end boutique hotel, complete with spa treatments, concierge service and exotic fine dining.
After an extensive renovation the interiors bear no traces of standard desert-inn kitsch. The look is a sort of California Moroccan one, with all the modern-luxe trimmings, from flat-panel televisions and down duvets to marble-clad bathrooms stocked with brown-bottled Gilchrist & Soames products. For extra space and privacy (and a hot tub on the patio) book one of the casitas, and for more book the chandeliered and hardwood-floored Winner’s Circle Suite.
There’s a pool and a spa, the latter naturally Moroccan-themed. The hotel’s restaurant, the Purple Palm, goes a little over the top at dinner — it’s not just a hotel restaurant but an upscale Mediterranean fixture on the Palm Springs dining scene, serving inventive modern dishes paired with wines from California and around the world.

What I liked:
Loved the simple, but great design. The restaurant was really beautiful and the view was beautiful. Those two things coupled made it such a superb location. I liked the grounds and how the casitas were off a bit.
What the hotel could do better:
Did not love the pillows! So random and have never had that experience.
