Rent a quaint villa or reserve a hip hotel room and treat your stomach and liver to all that Palm Springs has to offer. There’s a cool place to stay for every traveler’s style and budget. You just better score your perfect festival headquarters before someone else does. By: Jake Kilroy | Venue: The West Elm House
