AVALON HOTEL & BUNGALOWS PALM SPRINGS

An old world hideaway in the heart of Palm Springs, Avalon is a desert oasis tucked into the foothills of the San Jacinto Mountains. With 70 Spanish-style lodgings, including romantic studios and 13 private villas; 3 cabana-lined pools; the acclaimed Chi Chi restaurant; and the restorative Estrella Spa, it’s no secret while Avalon’s sun-kissed, lush, citrus tree-lined grounds have been a Hollywood playground since the 1930s.
