"Opened as the Hispanic Hotel in 1933, La Serena Villas underwent a head-to-toe renovation in 2016 by its new owners Kelly and Lars Viklund, Palm Springs hoteliers who filled the Spanish Revival-style property with antiques they collected on their world travels. It's quite romantic, so it's no surprise that many of the guests in the 18 rooms are couples looking for a little R&R. During the day, lounge by the pool or indulge in a spa treatment. In the evening, have margaritas or dinner at the Latin-inspired restaurant Azúcar before moving to the fire pits on the accommodations' private patios."
