Afterall, moms like to have fun too. (Or at least we think they do.)So our suggested way of thanking Mom for all her years of love and hard work is with a pedicure, a facial, and lunch by the pool at the decadent Estrella Spa at <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Viceroy+Palm+Springs/local/616">Viceroy Palm Springs</a>. The "Mom and Me" Special involves a full-day spa package that offers mom-and-daughter pedis, full-hour facials, wash-and-blowouts, and a makeup application so you two can look your

Snapshots:: Kor Hotels Doing More Good

A lot of hotels talk about giving back to their local communities so it's always nice to see this type of involvement actually happening. Kor Hotels is the latest hotel group to do so.

This past Saturday, The Viceroy Palm Springs was in action at the city's "Desert AIDS Walk." The hotel donated $5 per every donation submitted for the walk under the Viceroy team. As you can see, Viceroy team members were represented by their yellow t-shirts.

The Desert AIDS Project provides medical care and support services to people in the area living with HIV/AIDs.

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/pumpking2.jpg" class="imgborder"> We told you earlier this week about the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/9/24/122216/476/hotels/Pure_Luxury_Midnight_Massages_at_Jumby_Bay">midnight massages at Jumby Bay</a> that give couples a chance to unwind together. Now, it seems like luxury treatment at hotel spas is one of fall's big trends. The newest (and tastiest) addition? The pumpkin wrap at <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/7/25/135343/747/hotels/Party+Dispatch%3A+Viceroy%27s+Estrella+Spa+Soiree">Estrella Spa</a> at <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Viceroy+Palm+Springs/local/616">Viceroy Palm Springs</a>. The full-service destination has been offering massages, facials and aromatherapy since it first opened its doors. But the recently added pumpkin wrap seems like the perfect way to celebrate fall. The 90-minute treatment starts with a cinnamon and sugar exfoliation, which prepares the skin for a moisture-rich slathering of pure pumpkin and a slathering of vanilla coconut oil.
