The Colony Palms Hotel was an oasis in the middle of Palm Springs. It’s amazing how central it was, yet how quiet at the same time. I absolutely loved the space and decor as well. The air conditioning was fantastic and never failed me during my several night stay. I had a bottom floor suite, which I would highly recommend as, it can get very hot in Palm Springs, and it’s important to empty your car to prevent everything from melting (literally). The bottom suite allowed me to quickly walk back and fourth to my car for loading/unloading things like my bike, cooler and suitcase.

The pool and cuisine was something to write home about. But even mores, I must say, was my patio hot tub. There is absolutely nothing like taking a bath under the stars in complete privacy.
