Parker Palm Springs

Parker Palm Springs hides behind a monumental breeze-block wall in south Palm Springs, opening into a dense 13-acre estate of palms, lawns and winding paths. The 144 rooms span compact ateliers, poolside accommodations, garden suites and standalone villas. Three pools, clay tennis courts, pétanque, croquet, hammocks, gardens and hidden sitting areas turn the resort into a self-contained desert retreat where wandering is as much an activity as swimming.
