How about The Desert Riviera Hotel in Palm Springs? Really?

You bet...that's exactly what one couple from Michigan chose, and they couldn't be happier with their decision.Meet Terry and Karen Hare, repeat visitors to the well known, mid century modern, boutique hotel located at 610 East Palm Canyon Drive.

As a reward for 25 years of service, Terry's company gave him and his wife Karen Hare a week's vacation wherever they wanted to go.So why, out of all their vacation options, did they choose The Desert Riviera Hotel?

"Simple," Terry explained. "We wanted to go someplace beautiful, warm, and relaxing, where the people are friendly, the service is excellent, and there's always plenty to do and see. We find all that and more at the DRH in Palm Springs. We love the laid back, mid century modern vibe, Misty and Her Team take care of your every need. We love it here. Why would we go anywhere else?"

We agree!
