Living in Southern California has its perks. One of those being all of the amazing staycation spots! Palm Springs is a city like no other. It is full of retro boutique hotels, colorful homes, and the trendiest restaurants & bars.

I got to spend the weekend there for one of my dear friend’s birthdays, and it was the perfect place for a girls trip!

If you are looking to visit Palm Springs, here are some spots that are definitely worth adding to your list.

STAY

We stayed at the whimsical Les Cactus Hotel. If you want Instagram worthy, this place is for you! Upon arrival, you will receive the cutest welcome basket. The hotel’s entire color palette was perfection & the rooms are so trendy. Les Cactus features a salt water pool & hot tub, massage room, fire pit and a great selection of drinks to enjoy onsite. Another plus, Les Cactus is located just minutes from downtown! They have bicycles available for use at your leisure.

EAT & DRINK

Boozehounds is a newer spot in Palm Springs featuring an open-air lounge, outdoor patio, and indoor dining room. The best part? You can bring your furry friend! Boozehounds serves coffee & pastries in the morning (not to mention coffee inspired cocktails), lunch, happy hour, dinner and drinks! It is the perfect spot to grab a bite at any time of the day. It is also one of the most Instagram-worthy restaurants in the city.

Looking for a chic rooftop bar? Azucar is the place to be! Located at the La Serena Villas, Azucar serves contemporary cuisine. Head over to this vibrant and boho spot to enjoy some appetizers and cocktails!

Dine at the glamorous Colony Club at the Colony Palms Hotel & Bungalows. Inspired by art-deco, this restaurant serves California cuisine. Reservations are highly recommended at this high-in-demand spot! You can enjoy your meal inside the main dining room, or al-fresco style while taking in views of the San Jacinto mountains.
