The Bar/Lounge at Riviera Resort & Spa Palm Springs

"Spacious rooms fill a collection of two-story buildings that circle a huge free-form pool, with a restaurant and a couple of bars tucked into corners"

"Six different dining and drinking venues offer a variety of experiences: contemporary California cuisine in Cantala's elegant indoor/outdoor dining area (try to snag one of the cool, green booths), casual breakfast and lunch at Café Palmetto, craft cocktails and tapas at the sophisticated Gypsy Rose, light fare and mixed drinks at the poolside Soleil Bar, classic cocktails and small plates at The Landing Lounge, and barbecue and cocktails at Chiki Bar"

"The swanky Starlite Lounge (weekends only) features small bites, classic cocktails, and live entertainment"

"Expect the full range of mod-cons in nearly 400 rooms amid luscious gardens; two pools, hot tubs, restaurants and bars, a luxe spa and state-of-the-art fitness center"

"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 play to different cinematic moods: Cantala is a cosy dining destination layered in forest green, rattan, and cork with an outdoor area punctuated by woven basket lighting in the canopies of fiscus trees; Café Palmetto is the perfect lunch spot done up in pop-art inspired colours and punchy graphics; while the Gypsy Rose lounge channels retro glamour with midnight blue and rose velvet seating, crystal sconces, brass accents, and a David Lynch inspired black and white, over-scale hex tiled floor"

"Vacation like a celebrity with a treatment at the 11,000-square-foot Azure Spa and Salon, classic cocktails from the Bikini or Chiki Pool Bar, and contemporary American cuisine at Circa 59"

"Whether you spend your time enjoying live jazz at the bar or soaking up the sun by the pool, you’ll feel a bit like Hollywood royalty while at the Palm Springs hotel"
