Palm Springs is a place I’ve always been desperate to go to – and I’ve been lucky enough to have visited twice.

I’m am just drawn to anything old school Palm Springs – the glamour, the style, the colours, the flamingos, the Palm trees, the kaftan’s, the casinos, the mid-century modern architecture…. I could go on.

We first visited as part of a Californian road-trip holiday in 2005 and again for a few days whilst on our honeymoon in LA. On our second visit I did a little more research to find exactly the sort of hotels I wanted to stay in. One was a kitsch little place called Palm Springs Rendezvous.

A retro B&B built in the 1930’s with 10 themed rooms decked out in 1950’s style furniture – we stayed in the Pretty in Pink room – a tribute to Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn is believed to have stayed in this room in the fifties also – today it has a whirlpool hot tub, a vast vanity unit and lounge area.

Palm Springs Rendezvous in the 1950’s (then known as The Mira Loma)

We then stayed at the The Parker Palm Springs. A much more modern hotel with interiors designed by the uber-cool Jonathan Adler. It’s an impressive 13 acres – and the ideal spot for a wedding. The Parker has 3 outdoor pools, a bistro, Norma’s Diner, luxe cottages and the most Instagram worthy entrance ever! I think if I could live anywhere in America I think I would choose Palm Springs. I would love to waft around my poolside in a kaftan and turban like someone out of a Jacqueline Susann or Jackie Collins novel.

Until then, I’ll have to make do with this wish-list of get the look interiors inspired by The Parker Palm Springs and a stylish holiday wardrobe in the vain of this desert resort.

    Oh how amazing does this look? I've travelled a fair bit in American but never visited Palm Springs and would love to having only heard good things about it. Love your evocative moodboards, that M&Co bikini is gorgeous too! X #HomeEtc

    This hotel looks so cool Bonita! Wow. I would love to go there. I have just made a mental note to add it to the places I want to visit 🙂 My friend and I have been lusting after that inflatable flamingo this week, so fab isn't it! Might have to invest 😉 xx

    AWWWWWW!!! I LOVE this!!! We're going to California next year but we're off to San Fran and are going to drive up to Oregon so won't be able to visit Palm Springs. Gutted cos I'm LOVING all this!

    I've also fallen head over heels for that bikini but I've just been on their website and they're sold out of my size in the halter top version. LOVE the River Island pants suit too — SO glam. Just NOT the turban though. Nope. Never. Thanks so much for linking up with us darling — loved reading this! Caro xx #HomeEtc
