Romantic Gondola's in the California Desert

One of the most exciting and unique hotels in the United States is the JW Marriot Palm Desert. It is an awe-inspiring oasis in the middle of the desert, and a tourist attraction in its own right. The hotel sits upon a slight hill and the entryway is lined with lush palm trees (this is where ‘champagne flows and palm trees grow’). Pink flamingos bath in sparkling ponds of azure blue water as you pull up to the impressive and welcoming entrance.

Once inside the hotel, it is as if you’ve been transported to inside Aladdin’s magic bottle. The marble lobby is enormous. There is a spectacular 60 foot bar backed by cascading waterfalls spilling into large reflecting pools, but that isn’t the best part. Look a little further and you will see a dock inside the hotel (yes, the lake comes inside the hotel) where gondolas will collect you, and drop you off at any one of the hotel’s five restaurants within the complex.

The gondola ride itself is a treat not to be missed.
