Perfect Little Hideaway
We make finding that Perfect Little Hideaway a Virtual Snap!
Because Palm Springs smaller boutique resorts and hotels and intimate little inns are typically
hidden away within the city’s many distinctive historic neighborhoods, most visitors are not aware that so many of these great little gems even exist. All “SHoPS” partner properties are small intimate enclaves, each offering their own unique distinctive architecture, setting, style and ambiance and typically have fewer than fifty guestrooms, suites and/or villas each!
They’re run by friendly knowledgeable owners & managers, and attract their own uniquely distinctive clienteles.
