Of course, there are several criteria that you should imperatively look at before you make a selection: the location, the decor, the onsite restaurants and bars, the spa, the experiences on offer, and the amenities.

Not many of us remember the days of Frank Sinatra firsthand, but somehow they still feel familiar. Maybe it’s because the stories have become part of American mythology: martinis by the pool, midnight piano sessions, convertibles gliding beneath swaying palms, and an era when Palm Springs was Hollywood’s favorite escape.
