Hot Hot Heat
As evidenced by my two trips to the desert in the past eight months (here and here), I’ve become hopelessly addicted to Palm Springs. The dry heat and slow pace have always been draws, but lately it’s the interior design of their boutique hotels that has completely converted me. Though I realize it’s not realistic to redecorate my apartment after each trip, I’m convinced that Korakia’s decor is my favorite yet and I’m thisclose to making a reservation for sometime in June. What do you think…are the Moroccan courtyards, fire-pit lined pools and all-white bedding worth the 2 hour drive?

SO worth the drive, from the looks of it
I want to go on holidays and I want to go on holidays there!
Oh definitely yes darling.;D
It’s all worth it.;D
Oh how i wish i could have the same design of my room..;D
Thanks for giving me an idea..;D
Here in Spain, we also have rooms like that Did you know?.
Kisses
Oh yes! And is that an outdoor cinema? What a great idea for a balmy summer evening.
OMG so great and so jealous its only two hours away!!!!
ummm, it looks amazing. that bed alone is worth the drive!
Definitely… the outdoor movie itself is worth the drive! Such fun.
oh. dear. GOD.
i’m living in toronto and i’d say it’s worth the drive across the continent, let alone two hours!
Yes! It is worth it. Looks like the perfect place to get away and relax. Have a wonderful weekend!

Definitely looks worth it to me!
Oh it looks AMAZING definitely worth the drive!
Sigh. Wish I was there RIGHT NOW.
for sure!! If I had that place two hours away I would be there all the time!! Go for it and take lots of pics!!!
wow, i haven’t listened to hot hot heat in so long… maybe i’ll put them on my ipod later today! thanks for reminding me!
Having stayed there before, I can assure you that it is definitely worth it!
Call them!
Definitely!!! 2 hours is nothing!! That place looks Gorge!
Most definitely looks to be! You can just feel the relaxation coming through from the pictures
The Korakia is my favorite Palm Springs place too. The design makes it all worth it. However, we had friends go last June and it was sweltering and the AC doesn’t work that well there. It’s sort of rustic.
That pool looks amazing. 2 hours is nothing, go for it! http://isnotfashion.blogspot.com/
Love the photos, you should totally book it!!

Totally amazing! I would be there in a heart beat. That is one of the great things about CA, you don’t have to go far to be in a completely different environment.
I LOVE white bedding and that is how I currently have more room decorated. I’ve been thinking of taking a trip out to Cali and everytime I read your blog it only adds to the obsession. I really enjoy reading your blog and look forward to checking out your Etsy shop.
ABsolutely worth the drive. i’m jealous.
all-white bedding is my faaavorite thing. there’s just something about it.
umm absolutely it is!! and so is that pool and outdoor movie screen!!
OH I wanna go! You should go since you’re closer to Palm Springs than I am! My room is decorated Victorian African Safari and it kind of reminds me of the first picture.
I’m appropriately ashamed that this was my first thought, but isn’t that where Audrina and Justin Bobby went last season on the Hills? It looks so familiar…
ughhh i wish i new about this when i went to college in redlands, CA!! i would have visited these often!
Hi Emily,
Not sure if you ever read my fashion blog, but I also have a travel blog and just happened to a post about Palm Springs yesterday (actually an article I wrote for the local paper here).
Palm Springs: The Retro Classic is Hip Again
I love PS, my parents go every year so I steal away when I can. Probably been about 12 times, which is amazing considering I live in Canada lol. What can I say?? LOVE the desert
And would give an arm and a leg to stay in the place you just posted about – you are always so lucky!!
*Lusty*
That last picture sealed the dal for me!! Go for it!
Do it! And take a million pictures so I can look at them and pretend like I got to go somewhere fun, too.
movies on the porch?! oooh heaven!
oh my god, totally worth the drive.
i am craving a vacation like this.
Honey, I”d drive there from Chicago.
I need a vacation!!
Definitely worth the two hour drive. Make the reservation now!
Yes! Absolutely worth it.
Yes totally! That looks like a great vacation spot. Ahh i can’t wait to travel.
adorable! I just bookmarked this hotel…thanks for the link! Hub and I go out a few times a year too and this looks like fun!
Go! If you have the time and cash, I say go for it. It looks so Pretty (with a capital ‘P’).
As if I wasn’t craving a Vacation enough!
That looks amazing.

Totally worth it. I too am a Palm Springs lover. I’m not sure what it is but I’m always super relaxed when I go there. Loves it!
I love the curtains on the french doors! I am absolutely going to do that in my kitchen
umYES!
Wow..YES..
OMG so pretty…that pool looks amazing!
i havent stayed at any hotels in palm springs, only mid-century rental homes. obviously doesnt have the full service amenities of a hotel, but its definitely great for large groups. i love the classic wexler (classicwexler.com). in july we are staying at the alexander( http://www.vrbo.com/52277).
Totally worth it!! The decor is exquisite! Luckily my mother in law will be moving there this month, so maybe it’ll give me and my husband an excuse to stay at one of the hotels you’ve been praising.
YES YES YES! To me it is worth the plane flight across country!!!!! love it!!!
beautiful, looks worth it to me!
It looks like such a calming and beautiful place to just relax and get away. I say it’s def. worth the drive. So they play movies in the courtyard? How fun!

Oh gosh, this makes me want to go on holiday soo soo so bad. It just looks so gorgeous and relaxing!
It’s definitely worth the trip! I’m even tempted to fly across the country for a visit!

That place looks amazing! I’ve seen some really great looking hotels lately in Palm Springs…it’s suddenly on my radar of a place I want to go!
I just discovered your blog, and can’t stop reading…you have a new fan!
Just a question (not really related to the post), what websites do you visit for room ideas? I’m currently giving my bedroom a makeover and different ideas would be appreciated. Many thanks!
[...] More room photos here, and the prices don’t seem half bad. Scooped from Emily at Cupcakes and Cashmere [...]
Thanks very much for sharing. It is quite useful.
