Spa Resort Casino

Frommer's Review

This is one of the more unusual choices in town. It's on the Indian-owned parcel of land containing the mineral springs for which Palm Springs was named. The Cahuilla claimed the springs had magical powers to cure illness. Today's travelers still come here to pamper body and soul by "taking the waters," though now the facility is sleekly modern. There are three pools on the premises: One is a conventional outdoor swimming pool; the other two are filled from the underground natural springs brimming with revitalizing minerals. Inside the hotel's extensive spa are private sunken marble swirl-pools fed by the springs. After your bath, you can pamper yourself with one of many treatments. Despite the addition of the Vegas-style casino (a separate unit across the street), the Cahuilla have integrated modern hotel comforts with this land's ancient healing tradition and Indian spirit.

Facilities:
3 restaurants; 2 bars; Olympic-size outdoor heated pool; fitness center; full-service spa; concierge; car-rental desk; room service
