Parker Palm Springs

Parker Palm Springs boasts a celebrity lineage as the former site of Gene Autry's Melody Ranch and Merv Griffin's Givenchy Resort and Spa. Situated on 13 acres of landscaped gardens surrounded by desert and mountains, this historic property features 131 guest rooms and 12 private villas with cool white retro decor by Jonathan Adler and amenities by Hermes, Molton Brown, and Peter Thomas Roth. Lanai rooms open onto the intimate north pool; patio rooms onto an outdoor terrace perfect for small gatherings.

A prevailing air of urban chic carries through to business meetings and corporate events, thanks to a new 6,000-square-foot facility, including a 3,800-square-foot ballroom that seats 444. After hours, Parker Palm Springs indulges groups members with four pools or a lively game of croquet or Petanque on the Judy Kameon-designed grounds.
