The Saguaro Palm Springs - The Most Colorful Hotel In The World

Location:

Palm Springs USA North America
Design

Palm Springs is an American resort popular with celebrities and people passionate about living. The Saguaro stands in the resort with a youthful color scheme inspired by desert flowers.

Famous architects, Stamberg Aferiat, designed the colors and interiors and used the rainbow as a concept that flows throughout the original modernist structure.

Of course, there is a huge swimming pool and lounge area in the hotel’s large courtyard and a restaurant with a luxury Tapas menu. The interiors are all citrus juice and comfortable luxury.

The San Jacinto Mountains are nearby and are a favorite among mountaineers, artists, and filmmakers. TV Chef Jose Garces created the menu fusing Spanish and Mexican styles, and the tequila bar hosts over 100 fine sipping tequilas: a perfect spicy bite to the desert days.

There is also a spa with nourishing beauty treatments, massages, and lots of activities available, from hiking to golf.
