Hotel Review
DoubleTree Golf Resort, Palm Springs, USA
California boasts the greatest number of DoubleTree by Hilton hotels in the US, a sure sign that this dependable brand is hitting the spot here with its straightforward, upscale style - not to mention those trademark chocolate-chip cookies handed out at check-in. This 289-room property in Cathedral City, which is in the heart of Greater Palm Springs, comes with the added lures of an Olympic-size outdoor swimming pool, a neighbouring-27 hole golf course and good-sized, comfortable rooms set in four-storey blocks with an uplifting view of the San Jacinto Mountains. While the décor may favour the bland, the resort's central location and the reliability of the Hilton name makes this one of the safest bets in the area.
