Planning a girls weekend to PALM SPRINGS
Some of the contenders pictured above: The Colony Palms, Palm Springs Rendezvous, Casa Cody and the Saguaro.
Palm Springs is one of our favorite desert oasis escapes. The trouble is where to stay. We have had favorite haunts come and fade from their glory over the years and are in search of a new favorite. Here's how we're going about finding it....
1. Travel and Leisure-- always trust their chic and refined taste
2. Mr. and Mrs. Smith-- stylish and boutique properties with perks
3. i-escape -- boutique loveliness and "hip hideaways"
4. Tablet -- well edited and maybe they'll sling a deal your way
5. Frommer's -- although they have an older connotation and can sometimes highly rate behemoth properties we are not in favor of, they can have some good ideas and we love the star rating system and price ranking.
6. Trip Advisor-- good for pictures and cross referencing. Wouldn't trust this alone as you have no idea who the reviewers are and if their taste level is on par with yours!
And what is your favorite spot to stay in Palm Springs? xoxo
