The Parker Palm Springs Series II: The Rooms

When lunch ended, all of our rooms were ready to go. We used the map that was given to us at check-in (pictured below) and made our way into the gardens to find our rooms. There are no signs on the paths, which enables you to get lost. And trust me, you want to get lost.


Everything is manicured to perfection. Step into an opening and you might find some hammocks calling your name or into another and pick up a mallet for croquet. You half expect to turn a corner and have the Mad Hatter at a well appointed table, slightly askew, impatiently awaiting your arrival for tea (with booze in it). Coincidentally, there is a giant chess board to be found. Eventually we found our room. 

The Estate Room (No.80 North)
Need a drink of water? Use the Iittala glasses. Need to moisturize your hands? Use the Bvlgari lotion, or some other product you'll feel shy to try and pronounce. The toiletries and design in these rooms are the best I have ever come across. Very... Jonathan Adler, as is the rest of the hotel designed by him.

The Lanai Room (No. 15 North)

If I could stay in one room for the rest of my life, this would be it. There are quite a few upgrades from the Estate room (besides the price) that make this room special. Poster bed, ground floor patio in close proximity to the pool and the horse lamp by Jonathan Adler to name a few. This room we got for my parents and it would later be used as our venue for the anniversary dinner (featured here).

Cheers,
