La Serena Villas ... Palm Springs

By Tamera Beardsley @tamerabeardsley

We were back this week at my favorite Palm Springs hotelLa Serena Villaswhich truly is 'The ultimate  luxury hotel tucked in the heart of downtown Palm Springs'
One of my favorite partsit's 21 and over!As empty nesters who have done the kids thingan adult luxury hotel definitely checks my boxes!

We found La Serena several months agojust driving through the historic downtown area.
I saw the Linus bikesin the most amazing shade of blue out frontandliterally made Jeff stop the car to find out more about this amazing place!

Their front chairs are made for blogging dreams.Neither the bikes or the chairs could oversell the property.It just keeps getting better around every turn!!

The property was converted from small apartmentswhich means the hotel rooms are luxuriously spacious!

Take a look at this dreamy spacious walk in closet!I may have been ruined for ordinary rooms now!

The room comes with a delightful wet barand small fridge.The perfect place to set up our traveling bar!

Since I knew it was going to be a hot stayI brought a 'bouquet' of tropical branches for the room
from my gardeninstead of my usual oversized floral bouquet.

The bathroom was also huge with double sinks.

The tile work and brass finishes have me dreaming once againof a bathroom remodel!

Talk about luxurious detailsthe Turkish towel shower curtain is something I mustreproduce at home!

Each room comes with a large sized private courtyardcomplete with a bench, fire pit and claw footed tub!

A cold bath outside  in the desert heatare what traveling dreams are made of!
And who knew the shampoo from the hotelcould make a tub full of the softest bubbles!!

A mojito from the bar was the finishing touch!

Speaking of their barhow absolutely adorable is the Frida Room!


The property is small and intimatecomplete with The Whispers Spa.

I absolutely love dressing in Downtown Palm Springs.It's an area that appreciates a love of aesthetics.I love to bring my glam best.



Another wonderful aspect of La Serena's locationwe can simply walk to our favorite restaurant Melvyn'sfor dinner and drinks.We alway meet the most interesting people at the bar!

For me Palm Springs is also all about hanging at the pool.At La Serena's poolnot only do you have to be 21 or overthey have a rule against talking on your phone while at the pool!Ahh how I love a well done pool!

But there was still plenty of opportunity for some pool fun!

It's off season in Palm Springs.The up side is that summer rates can be lowerthe downsidethe property's restaurant isn't open.But they have plenty of coffee set out in the baras well as in room Kurig's.

Not only is coffee plentiful in the mornings
but they will deliver a simple breakfast
to your room or pool
in the cutest wooden picnic baskets!

Nothing like a poolside picnic
with your morning coffee!

I finally got a chance to ride the fabulousLinus Bikes that are complimentary at La Serena!It was these gorgeous bikes that had me stopping in my tracks when I first drove by the property.
What a fabulous way to tour this historic district!
