A Palm Springs resort is laying off staff during a seven-month renovation but plans to rehire them afterward.
Indeed, the iguana families permanently vacationing on the 14-acre property are just one of many refreshing reasons this palm-dotted resort stands out. The hotel is in the final stage of a transformational, multi-year, multi-million-dollar renovation (light sleepers rejoice, the heavy lifting is over), with updates including a lineup of brand-new restaurants, an upgraded pool with swim-up bar, and expanded recreational facilities.
"These renovations were designed to embody our core ethos of l'esprit libre [free spirit], while celebrating our heritage and embracing innovation and modernity," says Carolyne Doyon, president and CEO of Club Med North America and the Caribbean. "Guests will still find the warm, authentic Club Med experience they love, but now enhanced with a new sense of sophistication and elevated comfort that reflects the next chapter of our all-inclusive evolution."
This ambitious redevelopment isn't just about new wallpaper and fancy lightingâit's a full-blown reinvention, aiming to elevate the luxury experience at Lake Tahoe.
