The day I awoke & started dreaming

My morning began in a luxury Palm Springs resort hotel unlike any other. This decadent boutique desert oasis had all the right kinds of temptation – luxurious accommodation, an exclusive spa, award-winning dining, and memorable on-property experiences that still linger with me.

A SHORT MEMOIR
a bright and stylish interior space with floor-to-ceiling windows and white shutters. Inside, there’s a round glass table with a floral patterned cloth, a leather chair, and a ceramic horse lamp. The outdoor patio is visible through the windows, featuring blue cushioned seating, a vibrant orange pillow, and lush greenery

Rise & Sunshine

I felt a sensation of mystery and intrigue, as though adventure had personified itself and was calling for me just as I had awoken.

A Parker Palm Springs room featuring a four-poster bed, vibrant decor, a red chair, a metallic pouf, and a bench with a geometric pattern. The room has a stylish and cozy ambiance with modern art.

Wandering through the grounds I felt lost in the most delicious way, surrounded by fruit trees and herb gardens.

Play & Pamper

What better way to follow a morning of discovery & delight than to decompress and relax – pamper away.

The sun was warm, the water was cool and I felt completely at ease. What more could you ask for? Perhaps a cocktail…

Halfway into my pampering experience, I found myself thinking… well, actually not thinking at all.
