Modernism Week, Palm Springs, CA Runs February 16th - 26th

South Beach has it's Art Deco buildings. Chicago has it's magnificent skyline. San Francisco has their Painted Ladies. And Palm Springs, California is famous for mid-century modern architecture. Nude sunbathers are extremely lucky as they get to stay at one of the most famous Mid-Century Modern designed hotels in the US, The Terra Cotta Inn.

There were many modernist architects in the 1950's and 1960's, but one of the most famous is Albert Frey. He only designed a few hotels in the Palm Springs area, but his most famous is our small resort. Albert Frey is considered the father of desert modernism.

Above is a photo of Mary Clare and Albert Frey in front of our hotel shortly after we bought it in 1994. Mr. Frey called us as he saw an article about our resort in our local newspaper and he immediately recognized it as the hotel he designed which was originally called The Monkey Tree.

The Monkey Tree was built for celebrities. That's why we have large rooms (300-500 square ft) and why we were built with very high walls to protect the privacy of the celebrities that stayed here. We have learned that Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra, Desi & Lucy, Spencer Tracy, President Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, and many other famous celebrities used to stay here. To this day, we still get some celebrities from time to time.

What is cool is we chatted with Albert Frey for a few hours where he told us he came up with the slanted roof line design to be in synergy with the slope of the San Jacinto mountains. Another thing he told us is he has always been a nudist at heart, (he was Swiss). When he was young, he used to go to Ile du Levant which is in the Mediterranean and was one of the very first organized nudist destinations in the world. Albert Frey was so proud that one of his hotels became a famous nudist resort.

Starting February 16th and running for 10 days, Palm Springs is celebrating modernism week. Click here for things to do: http://modernismweek.com

Albert Frey would also be very proud to know that Palm Springs Life Magazine in their latest Best of the Best issue, reported we are the Best Boutique hotel in the whole Palm Springs area.

Nude sunbathers are the lucky ones as they get to stay at one of the most famous hotels in all Palm Springs. And since we are the most mainstream nude sunbathing resort in the US, we are perfect for couples trying topless or nude sunbathing for the first time.

So try something fun, unique and romantic. Come on out to The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa, Palm Springs most famous mid-century modern hotel.

Happy Work Naked Day everyone

Today is the 3rd anniversary of work naked day. It was started by Lisa Kanarek at http://workingnaked.com She writes "Working Naked means different things to different people. To you it may mean working au naturel, while your neighbors and friends may follow the other meaning — working on your own without the support of the corporate workplace."

AANR wrote:

Come to The Terra Cotta Inn, Palm Springs, CA for a fun Naked Valentine's Vacation

Valentine's Day is coming up real soon on Tuesday February 14th. As everyone knows Valentine's Day is an extremely romantic holiday. It's time to try something unique and fun like a clothes free vacation at our resort, the popular Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa.

Imagine the vacation memories that you will cherish forever by trying nude sunbathing together. Getaway from the hustle and bustle of the work a day world and have some fun. Give each other the gift of romantic time together at Terra Cotta Inn. You deserve it.

Get a nice romantic couples massage. Palm Springs Life Magazine in their latest Best of the Best issue picked Terra Cotta Inn as one of the top 3 places for massage in the whole Palm Springs area.

Women especially feel comfortable at Terra Cotta Inn as there is no pressure to immediately try nude sunbathing.

Then, as they acclimate to this new, fun experience, they discard the soggy bathing suit bottoms and relax like everyone else wearing just sunglasses, their birthday suit, and a smile.

Terra Cotta Inn is a historical boutique hotel originally built for celebrities. Albert Frey is the famous architect who designed it in the cool mid-century modern style. Lovingly restored, we have been hosting clothes free guests from around the world for the last 17 years.

Being Palm Springs' only nudist resort that caters to couples on vacation, you will get to meet lots of nice nude sunbathers that week as we are very popular.

Just this fall AOL Travel, UK wrote "Discover our picks of the BEST Clothing Optional resorts around the world." They picked Terra Cotta Inn as the ONLY nude sunbathing resort in the US catering to couples. Pretty cool. Nudists in the US and Canada pretty much know already that we're the only nudist resort out west that caters to couples on vacation. Now Europe knows too.

It's nice when the LA Times, or Los Angeles Magazine, or Palm Springs Life Magazine pick us as the best place to stay in Southern California, but this is even cooler when AOL England recognizes us also as the best place for couples.

And of course we're the best not because of being snobby. We're the best because we have the best guests. They have so much fun and are so friendly.

AOL Travel also wrote about Terra Cotta Inn nudist resort that we "are considered one of the best value nudist resorts in the world." So many nudists still way over pay for overpriced nudist resorts vacations in Mexico and the Caribbean because they don't know any better.

Conde Nast Traveler Magzine wrote "Luxury is no longer about spending the most money; it's about getting the best value." Yes, there are still many nudists that like brag about wasting $10,000 or more a week on a so-so naked vacation in Mexico or the Caribbean, and that's OK as there are still extremely wealthy people out there that enjoy wasting their vacation dollars, so they can brag to their rich friends how much they spent. To them they don't have fun unless they waste a lot of money.

And there are nudist resorts even in America that cater to the snobs and nouveau riche. Yet, for the other 99% of Americans, Canadians, Europeans, and Australians they still want value and we are the best value in the world as AOL Travel points out. And last year MSNBC and pointed out that fact too.

And Terra Cotta Inn is such a great value our rooms are all on sale in January. Weekly rates are as low as $859/couple/week including free breafast and afternoon snacks everyday. 2012 marks the 5th year in a row we have not raised rates.

Palm Springs and Terra Cotta inn are winners with the Los Angeles Times 2011 Readers Choice Awards

Palm Springs, California is the nudist mecca of the US. Averaging under 3 inches of rain a year, it is the sunniest city in America. Textiles and nudists all LOVE vacationing in Palm Springs.

From Conde Nast Traveler Magazine, to Vanity Fair Magazine, to Lonely Planet Travel Guide books picking Palm Springs last year as one of the top 10 destinations you must vacation at (and Lonely Planet is the largest Travel guide book company in the world), the media is all saying for a great, fun vacation "go vacation in Palm Springs, California."

And one of the reasons Lonely Planet picked Palm Springs as one of the 10 best travel destinations is because you can go nude sunbathing at Terra Cotta Inn.

Well on July 24th, the Los Angeles Times 2011 Readers Choice Awards were announced. Guess what city was the "Best SoCal Getaway Runner Up?" Palm Springs, California! San Diego was picked as the best getaway and Palm Springs was Runner up. Way to go Palm Springs!!!

And of course guess which resort was picked as the BEST, MOST POPULAR resort in All Southern California, textile or nudist? Terra Cotta Inn nude sunbathing resort.

It is so cool that nice nudist resorts are finally able to compete with textile hotels. Click here to see the results

Now of course we were picked as the best not because we are exclusive and snobby. No, snobs are referred elsewhere. One of the many reasons we are the best is because we are friendly and so much fun. We are also a fantastic value as reported by both trip advisor and MSNBC.

Now is the perfect time for a fun, romantic, sunny, unique vacation experience. One that you will want to repeat over and over.

Hope to see you this summer in sunny Palm Springs at Terra Cotta Inn!!!

Bloggers, journalists, and the media feel free using this post to write nice nudist stories.

Nudist Resort selected by LA TImes BEST of Southern California

The LA Times newspaper came out today and they selected the best in 120 different categories of where to go, what to eat, what to do, etc. in Southern California.

The Best hotel that was selected was a Ritz Carlton.

However, the complete surprise was the BEST, most popular resort that was selected. It was a nudist resort. Yes, that's right, us, the Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa was picked as the BEST resort in ALL Southern California, textile or nudist.

Now of course we were not selected as the best because of being snobby and trendy, super expensive and overpriced like so many other places. No, LA Times wanted to know what were the most popular, fun places, to shop at, eat at, and vacation at. And there's where Terra Cotta Inn excels.

Our guests have so much fun here. We have one of the highest repeat guest rates in the travel industry at just over 80%. We are one of the best values of ALL hotels and resorts in Southern California.

This is what the LA Times wrote in awarding us this great honor:
"Widely regarded as the most mainstream nude sunbathing resort in the U.S., the historic Terra Cotta Inn is a popular clothing-optional resort and spa located in the world-famous desert playground of Palm Springs. Especially suitable for couples looking to sunbathe topless or even nude for the first time, this is the perfect place to say goodbye to tan lines forever."

Our winning the award just goes to show how mainstream Terra Cotta Inn has become. As one nudist resort owner told us a couple of years ago, we have probably created more first time nudists than any other of the nudist resorts in the US.

So thank you Los Angeles Times Newspaper and thank you to all of our guests for making The Terra Cotta Inn such a fun, enjoyable, popular nudist resort. We love all of our guests. If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't be such a special place.

Hope to see everyone real soon in sunny Palm Springs!

Nudist Travel is Big Business

Vacationing at nudist resorts is more popular than ever. For instance, Terra Cotta Inn is the most popular nudist resort and one of the most popular of ALL resorts in the whole Palm Springs area. In December 2010, Palm Springs Life Magazine in their annual Best of the Best issue picked us as the BEST small resort in the whole Palm Springs area. It's pretty cool that nudists get to stay at the Best.

But, having been open 16 years, we know being the Best is relative as people have different ideas as to what is the best. For instance, if you are a snob or pretentious, you will not enjoy yourself here. Our guests are very friendly and fun, not stuck up. So we would recommend other places for snobs were they would be happy feeling superior.

There are nudists who don't like other people around. They only like to go to nude places where no one would see them. If you want no one around, then tell us. We are happy to recommend places that have low occupancy rates.

This weekend, we had a couple come by for day use. They had thick eastern European accents, but lived in Orange county, Southern California.

We always ask people where they have been and we always then compare and contrast ourselves so that they know are going to the best place for them. Of course, we know most other places don't care enough to screen people like that as we always have guests tell us they wasted a vacation at some other naked place as they thought it would be a nice place like Terra Cotta Inn and they weren't told they were very different.

Anyway, I talked to this eastern European couple and it was hard understanding them. They had been to another place in town before. When they got here, the woman was disappointed that we did not have single men around as she told me enjoyed "playing with all the guys." I didn't question her as to what playing was, but told her to go to that other place as she would be happier there. If it wasn't for the communications barrier, I would have told her not to book here as we weren't what she was looking for when she first called.

Being the Best, we care about our guests and people who might take a vacation with us. We want to make sure they are staying at the correct place for them. Many hotels have a "head in bed" attitude as they don't care if you ever come back. They want your money now. We don't. We want the long term relationship which is one of the reasons why we have one of the highest repeat guest rates in the whole travel industry at just over 80%.

Because of our reputation of being the best in town, we care about you. We care enough that we will even refer you to another place if it is right for what you are looking for.

In my opinion nude resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean are teh biggest offenders that only care about your money. Most are owned and operated by non nudists and are only interested in "heads in beds."

So ALWAYS ask questions of resorts before booking so that you will know the type of place you are booking. An easy question to ask is if the owners work nude, (Mary Clare and I work nude). If the owners are nudists, you know the guests will be too. If the owners stay dressed a lot, you know the guests will too as guests always follow the tone set by the owners and it may not be right for you.

Now is the perfect time for a fun, romantic, sunny, unique vacation experience. One that you will want to repeat over and over.

Nudist Resorts vs Clothing Optional Resorts

We have owned The Terra Cotta Inn for 16 years. One of the things that people are confused about is the difference between nudist and clothing optional resorts. And rightly so.

We have had guests who have stayed at so called "nudist resorts" tell us they were shocked by how many residents stay dressed at the nudist resorts and then they are equally shocked by our resort. We advertise Terra Cotta Inn as clothing optional, yet all guests go nude.

I try to tell people EVERY nudist and clothing optional resort in the US is unique. Ask questions before booking. For instance if you want to be nude all the time and the other guests also be nude, we are the nude resort in Palm Springs that you will want to stay at.

The reason I bring this up is someone wrote on a nudist forum:

"Does anyone know of a resort that is either family or adult oriented that is NOT clothing optional? I am looking for one that is nude only. I have read at different times about resorts in the US that are nude only, so I am sure they exist. When I read it again, I will make a note of it so I can inform the group.
I have been a place that was CO, and it was more like NO. Weather was not a factor when I went. For "newbies", I can understand going to a CO resort so they can get used to the nudity and decide for themselves what they want to do.
For us "seasoned" nudists, we are going to be nude anyway, so why even bother with a CO place?"

Obviously here is another person who doesn't realize that clothing optional places can have more people nude than nudist places, or not, it depends on the resort. It is my experience if a nudist place has full time residents or condos, lots more people will be dressed. Resorts like ours where people take vacations and don't have residents, EVERYONE goes nude as that is what they want to do on vacation. They don't want to be dressed.

So ALWAYS ask questions of resorts before booking so that you will know the type of place you are booking. An easy question to ask is if the owners work nude, (Mary Clare and I work nude). If the owners are nude, you know the guests will be too. If the owners stay dressed a lot, you know the guests will too as guests always follow the tone set by the owners.

Now is the perfect time for a fun, romantic, sunny, unique vacation experience. One that you will want to repeat over and over.

Never been to a clothing optional resort before? No problem. We are the most mainstream nudist resort in the US and are perfect for couples trying topless or nude sunbathing for the first time!

Last November, MSNBC picked us as the Best value nude sunbathing resort in the western US.

And in December, 2010 Palm Springs Life Magazine picked us as the BEST small resort in the whole Palm Springs area in their Best of the Best issue. It's pretty cool that a nudist resort is considered the best place to stay in town. We were picked not because we're exclusive and snobby, (we let other places win those categories). We were picked because we are so friendly and because the guests have such a good time here.

Singer LeAnn Rimes says she's prepared to argue naked when she gets married

"LeAnn Rimes has revealed that she is prepared to argue naked if it will help make her marriage a success.

The 28-year-old singer-turned-actress is set to marry fiancé Eddie Cibrian in the spring, and said that a friend gave her the unusual tip to help keep their relationship on track...

For the full story Click Here

Living nude is great for marriages. Nudist couples are happier and have a lower divorce rate than textile couples. So LeAnn, my advice to you is spend as much time possible nude with Eddie. You'll have a much happier marriage that way, and you won't have to worry about arguing naked.

Better yet, you can come to our resort, The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa in sunny Palm Springs, CA for your honeymoon and start practicing your nude life together.
