How many times has that led to places and people you might never have come across, and experiences you might never have had if you been left entirely on your own? The purpose of this blog is to share with you what’s new, what’s hot, what’s happening, and what I recommend as worth checking out during your special vacation in Palm Springs, California.

Palm Springs Resorts - Boutique - Movie Colony Hotel

726 North Indian Canyon Drive
Palm Springs, CA 92262
888-953-5700

This Albert Frey designed mid-century modern 16 room resort is geared best for low maintenance couples looking for a romantic get-away or R&R vacation, who also would like the opportunity to explore Palm Springs. Children are not allowed at this resort.

The resort is located in the trendy Uptown District of Palm Springs, home to many “retro-remix” boutiques, art galleries, and great restaurants. The resort offers complimentary cruiser bikes, which makes for an easy and fun way to get around town.  

Room styles range from basic studios to one bedroom two-story townhouses that open onto the pool from the lower level and have private sun decks off the upstairs bedroom. Note however that the townhouses do not have full kitchens. I especially like the 2nd story terrace rooms which each have private sun decks and seating areas including nice size tables, perfect for outdoor breakfast or lunch. If I were staying here I could see myself spending most of my time on my private sundeck.

The rooms are nicely appointed in mid-century modern style, very neutral colors with yellow accents. My only complaint is that I personally would have liked to see upgraded bathrooms. These ones are pretty standard.

The pool area is quiet, simple and open 24 hours.  Away from the pool is a courtyard area with breakfast bar and fire pit – also the location of the daily complimentary wine hour. There is an onsite spa studio and in-room massage service is available.  

There is no onsite staff after 7:00 pm (although I am told the owner is available by telephone), so if you are likely to want last minute concierge services to make dinner suggestions or reservations, you will need to plan early.
