The Lady In Red

The Lady In Red: California

There's more than a hint of magic in the air at this studio apartment in Palm Springs. From the crimson chair and bold pop art to the patterned bedspread and slogan cushions, this home demands you sit up and take notice. Although it would be easy to spend your days chilling inside and soaking up the vintage vibes, you'll be drawn out to the private patio by the blissful Californian sun. Two loungers are waiting for you to stretch out and top up your tan, and when night falls, you can light the fire pit for an atmospheric evening. Take one of the complimentary beach cruisers and head down to explore Palm Canyon Drive, with its array of edgy shops and independent cafes. After a five-minute cycle, you'll arrive in Downtown Palm Springs – with its art museum, Walk of Stars, plus plenty of mouthwatering restaurants. When you've eaten your fill, head back to take a refreshing dip in the shared pool or soak your muscles in the Jacuzzi beneath the swaying palm trees.
