Still crazy after all these years, the Parker’s Jonathan Adler-pated 1960s décor remains the draw to this shrine of hotel design. Renovations to all guest bathrooms and minor updates elsewhere help to keep the Holly Golightly sparkle its fans adore.

The retro furnishings, 70s macrame, and unexpected color pops still delight
The resort’s 16-acre grounds, a Mediterranean-inspired playground with tucked-away nooks for hammocks, fire pits, pétanque and a madcap Fellini feel

The Parker Palm Springs Review
Designer Jonathan Adler’s now classic mid-century interiors wowed the travel world when it opened in 2005. The property and its charming, landscaped grounds and pools still beguile, but almost two decades after its debut, some improvements are needed and are, thankfully, afoot. Already completed: overhauls to each of the 144-guest room baths, transforming them into fun house of lights and mirrors (another Adler idea). Come to think of it, Norma’s, the hotel’s popular restaurant with an all-day breakfast might also consider revitalizing some of the entrees, like the Cobb salad, which underwhelms despite the lettuce piled as high as an Audrey Hepburn updo. That said there are big hopes for the new refurbishments at Mr. Parker, their revamped and sexy steak house.
Buzzy but not frenetic, the property remains the Palm Springs crib for its stylish clientele, mostly in their 30s and 40s now, who come for a weekend’s indulgence. There’s still a focus on a socializing. Even its spa—the navy-themed Palm Springs Yacht Club (PSYC)—has an informal vibe suited to its customers.
As Indagare Trip Designer Caroline Hansen noted after a previous stay, “the hotel is great for people watching and being in a “scene,” but not so great for someone looking to get away and detox in complete isolation. One should come to the property for its unique charm and quirky décor, while picky travelers expecting five-star service should avoid it..”
Who Should Stay
Couples, friend groups and those looking for a property with a certain insouciance in style and tone as well as a breakfast that’s served all day, just not at Tiffany’s.
