Palm Springs is one of the most popular vacation destinations in the US. And with summer coming soon, there is still time to book at our resort, The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa locate in Palm Springs, California. The sunniest city in the US!
The New York Times just did an article about Palm Springs today. Here it is:
"36 Hours in Palm Springs, Calif.
PALM SPRINGS... Today, after some hard-earned changes, the desert town nestled in the Coachella Valley is becoming a destination for laid-back cool once again. Palm Springs is finding a balance between the past and the present and attracting visitors just as happy climbing canyons and sipping cocktails on a lounge chair as taking in the design and architectural treasures of the past...
3) PARTYING POOLSIDE
Back when Frank Sinatra held raucous shindigs at his Twin Palms home, Palm Springs was known for its party scene. These days, the best drinking establishments are in hotels...[Our resort, the Terra Cotta Inn has a very fun pool atmosphere.]
4) A MODERNIST MECCA
Along with the moneyed 20th-century tourists came eye-catching buildings: hotels, commercial spaces and vacation homes. Next to a hopping Starbucks on the main drag sits one of the city's oldest architectural touchstones: a concrete bell tower salvaged from the long-gone Oasis Hotel, which was designed by Lloyd Wright (son of Frank) in 1924. This spot is also where Robert Imber, the often seersucker-clad architectural guru and one-man show behind PS Modern Tours (760-318-6118; psmoderntours@aol.com), starts his three-hour excursions, which provide a survey of the city's key structures with a focus on the midcentury sweet spot. For $75 a head, design enthusiasts can press their faces against the windows of Mr. Imber's minivan, catching glimpses of the iconic Albert Frey-designed Tramway Gas Station, Richard Neutra's 1946 Kaufmann Desert House and the mass-produced but stunning Alexander homes that your guide identifies by pointing out the four key components — “garage, breezeway, windows, wall” — in their various arrangements. [Of course nudists get to stay in one of Palm Springs's most historic resorts. Yes, ours! The Terra Cotta Inn was a famous boutique resort for the movie stars in the 1960's and was designed by Albert Frey.]...
FRIEND OF THE HOUSE
Most of the favored area restaurants have an old-school vibe: tuxedoed waiters, a headwaiter who has worked there since opening day and steak-and-lobster specialties. Though the six-year-old Copley's on Palm Canyon (621 North Palm Canyon Drive; 760-327-9555; www.copleyspalmsprings.com) might not have the culinary history of nearby Melvyn's Restaurant and Lounge, which opened as an inn in 1935, it has a different sort of storied past — it's housed in what was once Cary Grant's estate — and food that incorporates 21st-century flavors (the spring menu included dishes like a duck and artichoke salad with goat cheese, edamame and litchi; $12). {Both Melvyn's and Copley's are great. Mary Clare and I were restaurant critics in Chicago for 10 years, so we can make great recommendations.]
...THE BASICS
Getting from the New York area to Palm Springs generally requires a change of planes. Plenty of major airlines (Delta, American, US Airways, United, Northwest and Alaska Airlines) serve the city's centrally located airport. One-stop tickets from New York start as low as $240, according to a recent online search. You can also fly into Los Angeles or the lower-traffic Long Beach airport (nonstops from JetBlue starting at $219) and then drive to Palm Springs in about two hours.... [Also the Ontario, California airport is only 70 miles or a 1 hour drive away. And San Diego, although 140 miles away, is just as quick to get here as is LAX as it is an easier airport to get into and out of.]

What I thought was interesting about the article is it was titled 36 hours in Palm Springs. They meant you check into town at 4pm and check out 2 days later in the morning. That's 2 nights you have to pay to spend in a hotel room.
We have always been called one of Palm Springs's best value hotels. That is one of the reasons we are so popular and why our occupancy is not going down during this recession.
We allow early check in (10am) and late check out (5pm). You can get 31 hours or 2 days of sun for the price of one night here. NO OTHER hotel in Palm Springs has such a great deal. When we go on vacation, I wish other hotels were as nice to their guests as we are to ours.
Although year round about 40% of our guests book a week or longer here because we are the ONLY nudist vacation resort that caters to couples on vacation in the western US, we do have a lot of guests take us up on our 31 hours in Palm Springs special offer.
Now is the time for you to try a new vacation experience. A fun vacation. Try going clothes free on your next trip whether it is a quick 2 day 1 night nudist getaway midweek, or a nice long relaxing 1 week vacation.
Give us a call at 800-786-6938.
