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.

INGLESIDE ESTATE

At the historic Ingleside Estate & Melvyn's Restaurant, an old Hollywood glamour runs deep: Built in the 1920's for the heirs to the Pierce Arrow Automobile Company, it was later purchased in 1935 by Palm Springs pioneer Ruth Hardy. Through the years, Ingleside served as a Palm Springs escape for A-list names including Frank Sinatra, Marlon Brando, Marilyn Monroe, and Elizabeth Taylor, with a legacy that's still felt in its serene, hedge-lined grounds. A relaxed elegance is palpable throughout the 30 Spanish Revival rooms and suites, and on the lush lawn with pool and hot tub. The iconic dining experience of Melvyn's restaurant and lounge completes this picturesque setting to play and escape it all.
