Winters Coming! Think Palm Springs and InnDulge
Temperatures dropped today and I saw snow flurries!
BRRRRR!
They are predicting 50+ inches of snow for Chicagoland this season.
While the weather outside
may be getting frightful…
it’s HOT in Palm Springs!
We love California. And unlike Florida, which is susceptible to cool winter months, Southern California is pretty ideal, all year round. If you have never been, Palm Springs is a desert city in California – approximately 110 miles east of Los Angeles and 140 miles northeast of San Diego.
Palm Springs is a jewel among desert cities and rightly so. Its village atmosphere has been preserved and embellished over the years.
The downtown area with its quaint lampposts, benches and Mexican tile-paved enclaves invites strolling among the shops, galleries, eateries and coffeehouses. Rich in history and blessed with glorious weather, it is a prime destination of travelers from all over the world. ESPECIALLY in cold winter midwest months.!
Palm Springs offers over 20 top attractions , including Joshua Tree national park, the Living Desert, art galleries, casinos, and of course, endless golf! It’s a huge outdoor playground with consistently brilliant sunshine, great for sunning and all types of outdoor activities with the sweet, clean air.
It’s a very gay and gay-friendly city. Late March, early April thousands of LGBT tourists take over the city! March 31st – April 1st they host THE DINAH. It is considered the largest lesbian event in the world. Then April 9th-12th, it’s the Palm Springs White Party. A huge line-up of International Dj’s and 8 assorted parties and events.
Every Thursday night the main street in Palm Springs, Palm Canyon Drive, is closed to traffic and opened to a vibrant street festival. Food vendors, arts and crafts exhibits and loads of free entertainment by numerous artists.
Strolling the length of Palm Canyon Drive from one end to the other in the heart of Palm Springs is a great way to ‘people and puppy watch’ for an hour or an entire evening.
The current gay and lesbian population in Palm Springs is estimated to be about seven times the national average. This concentration is even greater than that of San Francisco, which has approximately five times the national average. Gay residents represent about 35 percent of those who are year-round residents.
There are over 35 openly-gay resort hotels in the city to choose from. Our favorite is INNdulge A Resort Hotel for Gay Men. @ 601 Grenfall Road, Palm Springs CA 92264
PH 800.833.5675 / (760) 327.1408. Rest; Relaxation; and Pampering!
INNdulge is one of the most established guesthouses here in Palm Springs. Located in the Warm Sands neighborhood (an area flush with clothing-optional gay accommodations), this elegant award-winning 24-room facility offers several sizes of rooms, most of which look out on the spacious pool, open 24 hours. And by the way, it is actually cooled down in the hot hot summer months!
From breakfast time until well after 3AM each night, there is always something going on at this resort and you can’t help but get caught up in it. At any time of the day there is a whole crowd of friendly guys to mingle with, and you are sure to develop both instant crushes and lasting friendships.
INNdulge Palm Springs is a wonderful example of Palm Springs 50’s architecture. You can appreciate the architecture and the mountain views during the hotel’s free social hour that extends for two hours. It is a great way to meet the hotel’s wonderful owners, John and Jean-Guy, as well as your fellow guests.
Don’t take our word for it, just read the reviews left by members of the press worldwide.
INNdulge your fantasies, INNdulge your fancy, INNdulge your spirit!
Palm Springs is a great get away city. Sun, relaxation, shopping, dining and golf.
This week, while it’s 40 in the Midwest… It’s a gorgeous 76 there. Where would you rather be??
