"The Riviera may lack the charm of some smaller properties in Palm Springs, but for an event or a weekend stay it's got all the amenities you'll need."

"A party place built in 1958 and renovated in 2008, the Riviera attracts young, well-heeled, bikini-clad guests who hang out around the pool by day and the Bikini Bar by night."

Frommer's
"If you're looking for a rich dose of Palm Springs style without extreme pricing or snobbishness, the Riviera, about a mile north of the heart of downtown, will suit you."

"Following a thoughtful, extravagant renovation, this iconic hotel re-emerged with more Hollywood allure than when it originally opened in 1959."
Wallpaper
"A lobby arcade functions as a microcosm of the hotel’s histories, with a series of small lounge vignettes featuring local artwork and photography and three new food and beverage spaces."

"Serene, intimate and unique are a few words that come to mind when one thinks of the Alcazar (formerly the Pepper Tree Inn)."
Frommer's
"Alcazar is a cozy, historic desert inn from years back—Spanish tile roofs, rooms that open onto a pretty central garden and pool—that has been stylishly and charmingly restored to modern tastes"

"A fashionable (but not party) crowd makes new friends poolside before retiring to one of the 34 elegantly minimalist rooms around a pool."
