Checking Into Colony Palms Hotel, Palm Springs

By booking a stay at the Colony Palms Hotel, you'll be sleeping among a bit of Palm Springs history.  Originally built in 1936, it was owned by Al Wertheimer, a former mobster, but after World War II it was purchased by Charles Howard, the owner of the famous racehorse Seabiscuit. Flash forward to today, the property’s exterior has a Spanish influence and highlights include a 24-hour saltwater pool with ample lounge seating and trickling fountains that are surrounded by jasmine, fuchsia bougainvillea and citrus trees. The interiors were recently given an upgrade by Los Angeles-based interior designer Martyn Lawrence-Bullard, who imparted a vibrant color scheme in each of the rooms. Looking to enter into sublime bliss? Book a treatment at the spa where they offer facials, massage therapy and cupping.
