The Day I Awoke & Started Dreaming
A Short Memoir
My morning began in a luxury Palm Springs resort hotel unlike any other. This decadent boutique desert oasis had all the right kinds of temptation – luxurious accommodation, an exclusive spa, award-winning dining, and memorable on-property experiences that still linger with me.
9 A.M. Rise & Sunshine
I felt a sensation of mystery and intrigue, as though adventure had personified itself and was calling for me just as I had awoken.
10:12 A.M.
The sun was bright & gently peeked through the shades, coupled with an aroma of coffee & morning delights…
11:24 A.M.
Breakfast was perfectly on point–original, decadent and definitely not what my mother ever served. Satiated & inspired, I was ready to explore…
12:43 A.M.
Wandering through the grounds I felt lost in the most delicious way, surrounded by fruit trees and herb gardens.
1 P.M. Play & Pamper
What better way to follow a morning of discovery & delight than to decompress and relax – pamper away.
2:16 P.M.
The sun was warm, the water was cool and I felt completely at ease. What more could you ask for? Perhaps a cocktail…
3:29 P.M.
I stumbled upon a Citron oasis adjacent to the Pétanque court. Spiked lemonade – a swift segue to relaxation…
4:46 P.M.
Halfway into my pampering experience, I found myself thinking… well, actually not thinking at all.
5 P.M. Drinks & Dining
Now feeling numb to the outside bustle, I was ready for a night of adventurous imbibing — decadent food and inspired cocktails.
6:18 P.M.
Tantalizing bites and expertly selected wine choices start the evening…
7:33 P.M.
At dinner I felt transported to a place of true indulgence…
9:51 P.M.
Nightcaps at the Mini Bar and a cozy fire end the perfect day-dream. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a date with my bed.
The Time Is Now
Wake up and start dreaming at the best boutique hotel in Palm Springs.
