We just returned from an absolutely incredible weekend at Casa Cody in Palm Springs.
THE ROOM: We stayed in a gorgeous two bedroom suite right by the pool. The room has a layout that maximizes privacy with the bedrooms on opposite ends and no shared walls. Each bedroom had a ceiling fan, an AC unit, blackout curtains, and spectacular beds which made our stay very comfortable. The charming kitchen was fully equipped with a mini fridge and gas range oven. We brought a cooler filled with ice, which we highly recommend if you plan on storing cold items as the fridge is pretty small. If you plan on cooking, just let the front desk know and they will provide you with whatever you need. Throughout the suite, we noticed great attention to detail and many wonderful design choices, I wanted to ask where every single thing came from so I could look it up and hope to afford it for myself: the rugs, the pool towels, the leather couch, the kitchen chairs, the curtains, the robes, even the dishtowels - it was all so luxurious and lovely.
THE PROPERTY: We were all struck by the incredible natural beauty of the grounds. The bougainvilleas were bursting with color and seemed to be the happiest and fullest we'd ever seen. There are also many citrus and old growth trees giving the property great character. Be sure to walk the entire grounds as there is a beautiful fountain and decorative wood-carved art pieces tucked away on one side. There is a big hot tub and two wonderful pools with plenty of umbrellas and comfortable lounge chairs. The atmosphere by the pool is relaxing and calming, exactly what you're looking for if you're just trying to "get away," ideal for reading and sunbathing.
LOCATION: It couldn't be better situated. 2 blocks from the Palm Spring Museum of Art, 2 blocks from the center of S. Palm Canyon Drive (the city's main street), and a 15 minute drive from the Aerial Tramway. A very short walk to restaurants, bars, and shops. Be sure to take advantage of the bicycles and take them out for a spin around the area. It's a really flat, bike-friendly town with wide streets and many great mid-century homes all around. They also provide bike locks.
STAFF: Helpful, accommodating, never hard to find, and super kind. Whether we needed a bottle opener or extra towels or wanted to use the bikes, they always provided us with wonderful service.
This is an absolute gem and one of the best kept secrets of Palm Springs! read more
