Hotel Review: The Ingleside Inn, Palm Springs, California, USA

What’s the Curbappeal?

- The rambling Spanish architecture

- Lovely tropical grounds and gardens with stunning mountain views

- The ‘retreat’ vibe

- Old-school Hollywood glamour

- The celebrity history. You name it – they’ve all been here: Cher; Elizabeth Taylor; Joan Collins; Liza Minelli; Goldie Hawn; Norah Jones; John Travolta; Clark Gable; John Wayne; Frank Sinatra; Marlon Brando….

- But…style warning(!): the bedrooms are in need of a refurb. They feel oddly ‘corporate’ in such cosy surroundings.

So, would I stay here? Probably not. The architecture and the grounds of the hotel are lovely but the rooms let the whole thing down. Make the rooms ‘cute and cosy’ and the whole package will make sense – and I’ll be back in a flash.

With Love,
