Wish you were here: Colony Palms Hotel
Sunset, Feb, 2008
Once it was a notorious speakeasy, brothel, and gaming house; now it's a Palm Springs hideaway with serious style. The 56-room Colony Palms Hotel shirks the modernist trappings of its neighbors for a Moorish-accented take on 1940s glamour. French tiles, white marble, hand-woven headboards from Uzbekistan, and vintage black-and-white photography form the backdrop for 21st-century flourishes like iPod docking stations, flat-screen TVs, and Dean & DeLuca gourmet nibbles. From $189; colonypalmshotel.com or 800/557-2187.
