The lawn chair, literally.
We just got back from Palm Springs a few days ago. We were out there for several days for a family (Farra's moms side) retreat and it is gorgeous, thats if you like hot sunny days, lounging by the pool, micheladas, grilling, and nice evening cocktails. Farra's aunt rented an awesome house for a week and we definitely enjoyed it, thank you! We mostly ate at the house, but then after dinner Farra and I would escape for some venturing and checked out some cool restaurants and bars.
This is the Amigo Bar inside the new Ace Hotel. These hotels are amazing. There are some in Portland, Seattle, New York, and now Palm Springs. The hotel does a great job of involving you as part of the experience. They have such great amenities, DIY BBQ with a personal weber for you to grill on your patio, a dog park, saline pool, gym, and a cool & hip staff. They did an amazing job in keeping the old with the new. It used to be an old Howard Johnson and the diner was an old Denny's.
The inside of the Amigo Room is cozy and vintage Mexican and Southwest twists to it. When you go there this summer you gotta order their Figa cocktail. Its fig infused vodka, chilled earl grey tea, honey and tangerine juice.
Our friend that greeted us at the entrance to the restroom of the Parker Hotel. This hotel is an amazing place to indulge, relax, and splurge. The hotel used to be Merv Griffin's old house and at one point it was also the Givenchy resort and spa.
Breakfast at Norma's inside the Parker. The restaurant has a nice intimate vibe, and a bright open space with great views of their gardens and overall property.
Of course I had to try their take on huevos rancheros. They were good, but I hate when places use flour tortillas when its not traditional. Nice presentation, but the chilaquiles at the Kings Highway Diner inside the Amigo Hotel are just as great and a third of the price.
