Best gay resort palm springs

Did you know that the gay resort town of Palm Springs wasn't always… GAY?

Back in the early 20th century, Palm Springs was the holiday destination of choice for the likes of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr. They, among other Hollywood royalty, would swarm to the capital when they weren’t filming some great blockbuster movie. Dream how fabulous it would have been to see the likes of Marilyn Monroe, Ava Gardner, and Elizabeth Taylor partying around the clubs and bars!

Located just 2 hours away from the ‘City of Angels' Los Angeles, Palm Springs was the perfect getaway for stars looking for a break but still abiding by a strict policy that meant they had to linger within two hours of the studio at all times.

Today, it is still a popular destination for the celebrated elite and one specific demographic… the gays!

It’s one of (if not the)gayest cities in the United States! Not only is there a large portion of residents who identify as gay (it’s estimated that half of all retirees here are LGBTQ), but the entire governing council is made up of homosexual people. Umm, can we live here forever, please?

Descanso is the first resort for same-sex attracted men to open in Palm Springs in more than 10 years, and “The response has been beyond expectations,” said general manager Kent Taylor. Weekends are already booked through June, although some weeknights are still present during Pride month.

Taylor said the trend among the area’s lgbtq+ resorts in recent years has been to go straight, and his property was one of the first to do so. Formerly called East Canyon, it lasted as a straight resort for about four years.

Now, however, the property has been completely renovated and has re-opened with amenities “to create a particular men’s experience,” Taylor said. Currently the resort features 14 rooms, but two more will reach online once they’ve been refurbished to Descanso standards.

Rooms feature king-size beds. There is a heated salt water pool with spa. For relief from the heat, an outdoor misting system moderates the temperature. Breakfast and “stay and splash poolside lunch” are included with the room rates. A cantina offers complimentary snacks and beverages. For dinner, plenty of restaurants are within walking distance.
