During
the day, the pool area serves as the center of activity. Cabanas
furnished with couches, chairs, televisions and comfy lounges line the
outer area. And the Bikini Bar is right there to sate any cravings for
food or drink.
Circa 59 is the property’s chic fine-dining option and serves creative
twists on salads, steaks and seafood. And the Sidebar Lounge offers a
more sophisticated environment for a before-dinner cocktail or nightcap.
If you’re planning a weekend in Palm Springs, be sure to
book a tour – whether it’s a celebrity home tour, an architecture tour
or a tour of the Palm Springs Art Museum. It’s going to be hard to pull
yourself away from the property, but believe me, it will be worth it.
The
celebrity tours will take you by the home where Elvis Presley and his
bride, Priscilla, honeymooned, Liberace’s home, Dinah Shore’s desert
oasis and many, many more. You’ll get a fascinating oral history lesson
on Palm Springs.
If you take an architecture tour, you’ll see
some classic homes by innovators such as Albert Frey, William Cody and
A. Quincy Jones. If you’re lucky, you might even be able to peek inside
one or two of them.
As for the museum, it serves as the
center for the Greater Palm Springs area’s art community, with a
permanent collection of contemporary paintings, American Indian
artifacts, contemporary sculpture and photography.
