Palm Springs in August isn't as hot as the Viceroy. This cool new (2004) resort is making a big splash in the Palm Springs hip market.
The hotel is located just a few blocks behind the main shops of Palm Springs on a quiet palm tree-lined street.
The first thing you will notice are handsome muscle boys in one size too small T-shirts, waiting out front to valet your car.
When you enter the whole lobby is lemon yellow, black, and white. It's very striking. The front desk and all the staff are young and hip.
The hotel has only 74 guestrooms, suites, and private villas. It has a spar that features holistic and biodynamic treatments. It has two pools and the pool crowd looks like a Calvin Klein photo shoot. There is not a bad body in the place! Viceroy also offers a restaurant called Citron that is California eclectic. You can order in the restaurant or poolside.
The rooms offer Frette linens, custom beds and amazing entertainment centers with full cable access and DVD players. Each room has some over sized pieces of furniture and is way too cool for words.
Viceroy is it. If you want to play in Palm Springs with the rich and famous, then you have found your place. It doesn't get any better than this. It's already made Conde Nast's HOT LIST and Travel and Leisure has voted it one of the Top 5 spas to watch in the world.
Don't miss out. Viceroy is as hot as Palm Springs.
