  • Address: 572 North Indian Canyon, Palm Springs — close to Palm Springs Convention Center

  • The Colony Club serves Californian cuisine poolside; full breakfast available for a surcharge
  • Poolside bar and 24-hour room service available
  • One main restaurant and a small-bar/program offering fits the boutique footprint

The Colony Palms is best if you want a singular, higher-touch dining experience without many on-site casual outlets.

Pools & signature amenity: resort pool & cabanas vs single poolside bungalow setting
