It turns out there's more to do there than just lay by the pool and sip on cocktails. The hotel has just finished renovating their <a href="http://www.palmspringsyachtclub.com ">Palm Springs Yacht Club</a> spa (PSYC) and it's not exactly what you would expect. Take a look at the spa's mission statement: <blockquote><p> We believe in the American country club experience: mixed doubles, a long steam, and a stiff cocktail. </blockquote></p><p>And indeed the new spa space makes access to a cocktail just as important as access to a heavy-handed masseuse.<p>The spa has created a new lounge with dark leather chairs, coffee tables and lit by juliana 2009-11-10T15:42:13-05:00 Palm Springs: Chicks Who Likes Yoga and Fruity Drinks Can Be 'Parker Princesses' http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/6/22/1820/69996 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6929/parkerpalmsmores.jpg" class="top"><br><i>The firepit: gossip and s'mores central.</i> <p>We will never stop making fun of these silly <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/girlfriend getaways">girlfriend getaway</a> hotel packages.

Lushette at The Parker Palm Springs
$199 per person

The swanky Parker Palm Springs has received its fair share of flack from us because of that horrendous reality television slip-up of which we will no longer speak, but we're pretty sure they've redeemed themselves in our eyes with the Lushette package.

Instead of wasting our time with some Girlfriend Getaway mess, they're keeping it real by offering us $200 of on-property alcohol credit plus an estate room for just $199 per night Sunday-Thursday (on weekends, the same package is $299).

You can book the package online here. Dudes are welcome too, we suppose. ]]> Jenna 2008-09-17T17:56:00-05:00 33.7953070 -116.50015 Palm Springs: The Parker Palm Springs is Giving Stuff Away http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/9/14/0181/78109 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/prkrpsroom.jpg" class="imgborder"><p>We have to admit, we're kind of in love with the funky <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Parker+Palm+Springs/local/717"><b>Parker Palm Springs</b></a>, despite last year's <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Welcome%20to%20the%20Parker">Bravo Reality Show</a> which showed the hotel in a very unflattering light.
