Norma Jean

Norma Jean: California

In true Palm Springs style, this playful modernist apartment is designed with fun-loving guests in mind. Set in the colourful Uptown Design District, close to Downtown and the Old Las Palmas neighbourhood, the location couldn’t be better for exploring this desert city. Days here begin with coffee on the private balcony, followed by a dip in the shimmering outdoor pool. Downtown Palm Springs is within walking distance, but if you’re not in the mood for a stroll, there are complimentary beach cruisers, perfect for touring the gently winding streets of Las Palmas. After a hard day shopping and sightseeing, unwind in the Jacuzzi or play a few rounds of mini-golf on the shared course. There’s an outdoor grill if you’d like a barbecue dinner, but if you’re not in the mood for flipping your own burgers, Palm Springs’ retro diners are ready to serve you. After dark, there’s not far to go for your next mojito - there’s a cocktail bar just downstairs.
