I’ve actually tried to make it a point to head to Palm Springs or Palm Desert once a year for some chill-out time because I always feel so relaxed after I go. This time I went with my roommate for a girl’s weekend and we ended up having the best girls’ trip ever.

While we’re at it, let’s be friends on Instagram and Tiktok!

  • The Ace Hotel – The Ace Hotel has a quirky, hipster, and loungy vibe. I especially loved the pool and Amigo Room bar! Book a Room | Read TripAdvisor Reviews
  • Kimpton Rowan – This resort hotel is situated in the heart of downtown Palm Springs with a great location for bar hopping and checking out the restaurants of Palm Springs. They also have a rooftop pool and bar with beautiful views. Book a Room | Read TripAdvisor
  • Airbnb – You can’t go wrong with finding a place that has a pool all to yourself on the cheap! We did this and it was great to have our own pool to lounge during the day.

Where to Eat

Brunch:

  • Norma’s at the Parker Palm Springs – This spot has awesome decor and an amazing selection of brunch foods.
  • Cheeky’s – Be prepped for a wait, but it’s so so worth it! I still crave it. Make sure to order one of their bacon flights or french toast!
  • Rooftop at Tommy Bahamas (in Palm Desert on El Paseo drive) – This is a classic spot that’s great for lunch on the roof after shopping on El Paseo.

Getting Around

We rented an $18 a day car from Alamo (mainly so we could drive to Palm Desert and Joshua Tree). We also took Uber’s (get $5 off your first 2 rides with this code) out when we went out on the town!
