Spa Goals: Silverado Resort

Why did I pick a spa getaway at The Silverado? Perhaps I’d seen photos of its charming, ornate original building, a grand white mansion from the late 1880s flanked by elegant palm trees. Perhaps I’d heard others casually mention they’d dashed off there to retreat for a weekend, or a wedding. Or perhaps I just saw it listed on a hotel website and it piqued my curiosity and desire.

Spa Goals: Two Bunch Palms

Jenne Raub December 12, 2019

After a particularly cold and chilly August, I suggested to a friend living in LA we meet up for a weekend in Palm Springs. (When you’ve lived in San Francisco for a while, you begin to get strategic about planning escapes to hot weather!)

To my joy, my friend said yes — then suggested we skip staying in Palm Springs proper and head to a place she loved in nearby Desert Hot Springs, a little resort enclave boasting hot mineral waters known as Two Bunch Palms. Hot mineral waters? Spa treatments? Hot desert sunshine? In!
