Desert Riveria is not only my favorite hotel in the world; it may be my favorite place, period. An oasis in an oasis that is Palm Springs. Came here several times in the '10s with my wife. We've been divorced for 5 years now, amicably and unpartnered; we love this place so much we decided to come back. It's that good. Shout out to Mike, or front desk/concierge/point man; truly, a stellar employee.
