Getting some work done at @alcazarps before heading out for a busy day in Palm Springs. •• These light, airy rooms are my favorite. Not to mention I always prefer finding a good boutique hotel vs. a resort or big chain. Both can be fun, but smaller hotels are usually designed to integrate you with the surrounding town, rather than cut you off and encourage you to never leave the hotel, like big resorts. •• Since the Alcazar is right in downtown Palm Springs I’m starting my day by using one of the hotel’s free bikes to cycle around the “Old Hollywood” neighborhoods. •• Where do you prefer to stay when you travel?
