Many parts of the world are warm, but not so many are chill.

The more time you spend in Palm Springs, the more you’ll meet people from northern climates. That also includes San Francisco. Any place where the air is wet and folks long for bright sun and a relaxed feel.

Even just stepping off the airplane you get that you are in a paradise that expects you to slow a bit and relax. Friendly people smiling and enjoying just being alive. That’s the vibe here.

 

A passion for fashion

You’ll notice a lot of fun fashion and bright colors passing by. Express your love of life in a fuchsia shirt or straw hat with a feather. It’s all about fun and not taking everything so seriously.

 

Some top places to take a chill pill

 

Mr. Lyons

“Classic steakhouse menu that also features innovative salads and infinite sides to choose. See if you can find the secret bar Seymour’s behind the curtain? Because a bit of midnight bocce ball may be just what the evening calls for.”

The Parker

“A swanky hotel with lots of dining and drinking options. The Interiors are inspired. Again there is a secret bar that is a local favorite: Counter Reformation”

— Often photographed never duplicated

L'Horizon Resort & Spa

“Romance is in the air whether you are simply dining or staying at the hotel. It’s the best meal you’ll find behind a hedge. A bit hard to find but worth it.”

— Hedge your bets

 

Nightlife

 

Sometimes mom and dad need a date night.

Music venues, restraints, bars and casinos all provide you with a wide variety of people watching and dining.
