Palm Springs can be seen as a blank canvas of sorts. Driving through the city, visitors pass countless gated resorts and communities, many very similar to one another. Miramonte Resort & Spa seems to have understood this reality better than most, and has set out to create something a little different - special, even.
215 rooms are dressed in muted tones and rich fabrics, each of which looks out over the lush grounds, and out to the Santa Rosa Mountains. Getting out of bed each morning, slip into your cozy robe, and retreat to the marble bathroom before enjoying your room's premium coffee.
The Well Spa is the place to be for guests intent on perfecting the art of doing nothing. Once you arrive at the Tuscan-style spa, all you have to do is relax - the staff takes care of the rest.
Dining occurs at the Grove Artisan Kitchen, featuring farm-to-table produce, dry-aged meats, Pacific seafood, and house-made pastas. Tapas and smaller plates are for the tasting at Vineyard Lounge.
Of course, one cannot avoid golf in Palm Springs. The sport is omnipresent, and well represented at the Celebrity Course and Player's Course. Bob Hope would approve.
