Old Hollywood meets modern boho chic at this outpost of subtle opulence in the desert.
Originally dubbed the Colonial House, this Spanish Colonial style hotel was built and opened in 1936 by owner Al Wertheimer, a reputed mobster and member of the Purple Gang. While the gentlemen of ill-repute are long-gone the glamour and gorgeousness of this Hollywood-throwback remains with a marvelous Moroccan-style facelift courtesy of one of the stars of Bravo's "Million-Dollar Decorators" - Martyn Lawrence Bullard.

Venue Setting

THE COLONY PALMS HOTEL BEGINS A NEW ERA...

The Colony Palms Hotel is re-imagined under designer/Hotelier Steve Hermann as it is transformed into one of California's premier luxury hotels. A multimillion dollar renovation was completed where every surface has been completely restored and enhanced to be able to experience The Colony Palms as it was always meant to be enjoyed.

The Colony Club Restaurant, our signature restaurant, is serving re-imagined classic Californian fare. You can dine inside the main dining room with its modern take on Art Deco glamour, or enjoy warm breezes while eating al-fresco with views of the pool and mountains.
