Desert Dreamin’ at Parker Palm Springs
When in sunny Palm Springs, do like the pleasure-seeking LA-crowd and head to the plush Parker Palm Springs, transformed by New York designer Jonathan Adler into a fabulous and funky hot spot with lots of contemporary flair. (Despite the colorful interiors and zebra-print rugs, the Parker’s exterior building still seems to date from the Rat Pack-era.) The glamorous resort du jour– what the NYT called “a kind of dandy Betty Ford clinic for those who overdosed on the W Hotel’s much-copied sleek and minimalist vibe”– is clearly the steamiest spot in the desert, attracting the young, hip, and fashionable for weekend getaways. Formerly the Givenchy Resort and Spa (and before that era, California’s first Holiday Inn!), the Parker Palm Springs features lush desert gardens, the chic Mister Parker’s restaurant, fire pit, 16,500-square-foot spa, four pools, clay tennis courts, and two petanque courts.
