Experts' Choice Award Avalon Hotel & Bungalows Palm Springs
What the experts agree on
Kelly Wearstler's black-white-and-yellow design and mountain-backed pool scene define this stylish former Viceroy; luxe but low-key, though a few note the furnishings show light wear.
“This historic boutique hotel (which also has an outpost in Beverly Hills) is located at the foot of the San Jacinto Mountains in downtown Palm Springs.”
