Ingleside Inn

Built in 1925 as a private residence in Palm Springs, Calif., the Ingleside Inn offers intimate accommodations and views of the nearby San Jacinto Mountains. Serving patrons from US presidents to movie stars, the Inn was named in 1990 as an official Palm Springs Historical Landmark. The Inn is totally secluded but only steps away from downtown Palm Springs, including shopping, the Desert Museum and the Palm Springs Airport.

A two-hour hour drive east of LA, Palm Springs was once famous as a winter retreat for Hollywood stars. Today, it's the home of retirees, 10,000 swimming pools, 85 golf courses and hundreds of plastic surgeons. Area attractions include the hiking trails in the Andreas, Murray, Palm and Tahquitz canyons, which are shaded by fan palms and surrounded by towering cliffs. Visitors can take an aerial tramway that climbs 6000 feet from the desert floor up into the San Jacinto mountains.

This hacienda-style Inn features 30 individually decorated suites and villas. Many rooms have antiques, fireplaces, whirlpool tubs, stocked refrigerators and private patios. Non-smoking rooms are available. The inn's well- known restaurant, Melvyn's, offers award-winning continental cuisine in an elegant, old world environment, complete with a fully restored 1895 carved oak and mahogany bar, fine antiques, world-class wine cellar and waiters in linen jackets. The Casablanca Room, an intimate piano bar and lounge, serves award- winning martinis and provides entertainment and dancing nightly.

Hotel services and amenities include a 24-hour Olympic-size pool and Jacuzzi. Wireless Internet access is complimentary throughout the hotel.
