Palm Springs Hot Spots


Melvyn’s Restaurant


Located on the premises of the legendary Ingleside Inn, Melvyn’s offers an elegant dining experience with fabulous food. The mouth-watering Veal Ingleside is a favourite and if you are a wine connoisseur, you will enjoy perusing the wine list from Melvyn’s two world-class wine cellars. A fully restored 1895 carved oak and mahogany bar, antiques and photos from the past, combined with waiters in linen jackets add a sense of nostalgia. You can imagine how things must have been as you soak up the Hollywood glamour of days gone by. Dancing and entertainment are also available nightly in the lounge, and keep your eyes open as current celebrities often show up.


Purple Palm Restaurant and Bar


The restaurant, set by the pool inside the Colony Palms Hotel, received its name from the infamous Purple Gang. The hotel was built in 1936 by Al Wertheiner, a member of the gang which consisted predominately of Jewish bootleggers and hijackers operating out of Detroit. The hotel served as a desert clubhouse for them. Today, guests can enjoy Lemon Drop Martinis in a private seat- ing area with comfortable chairs and fireplaces. The food is simply divine. From the Pork Belly Mole to the Octo- pus; there is something for everyone on this diverse and tantalizing menu.
