The Restaurant at Avalon Hotel & Bungalows Palm Springs

"There’s the Estrella spa, a fab but pricey Cal-French restaurant for a white-linen luncheon or swanky supper, and free town-cruiser bikes to borrow"

"You can dine indoors or poolside on healthful Latin fare at the stylish new restaurant, Chi Chi ($$$), by local restaurateur Tara Lazar"

"But as soon as the sun starts to dip behind the San Jacinto Mountains, you can practically hear the cocktail shaker from the hotel’s bar beckoning you for a dirty martini before an alfresco dinner on the patio of Citron restaurant"

" The lobby, though outfitted with a bar and a restaurant area, is tiny"

"Chi Chi restaurant offers Latin-influenced fare in a poolside setting"

"Guests can dine on California cuisine at Chi Chi or walk a few blocks into town and choose from a bevy of restaurants"

"Surprisingly, our dinner at Citron, the Avalon's intimate and dimly lit restaurant, didn’t turn out to be quite as tip-worthy as our valet’s greeting earlier"

"At the hotel's restaurant, Chi Chi, you can find a refined and healthy take on fresh California cuisine"
