"INNdulge
corners the market on comfortable and casual. One section
of the structure has the requisite pool and hot tub, and
features rooms that are spacious and pampered without being
stuffy, with nicely preserved '50's style kitchenettes
(PS loves its retro history!) There is a poolside social
hour (which most inns offer) and INNdulge probably boasts
the most spectacular mountain-range view. Practically every
Palm Springs Locale is outfitted with misters to combat
the desert heat, but INNdulge has the only pool chiller which,
when the heat soars to skin-melting temperatures, is quite
a draw."

owners have transformed this historic inn into the
award winning
resort it
is today. These awards include Best Clothing Optional
Resort by Out Traveler in 1996. They
want to make sure your stay is as genuinely "Palm

nice grapefruit and not mistakenly bite into a Meyer
lemon. They really have thought of everything."

"My
favorite gay resort, and the place of my first traveler's
epiphany, is INNdulge Palm Springs.
With the perfect balance of comfortable rooms and
a sizable pool/hot tub/social areas, a special social
hour to get you acquainted with your fellow guests,
and a wonderful mix of guys of all types, INNdulge
manages the perfect balance between flirty Gay fun
and down-to-earth people. On top of that, the owners
strive to develop a personal relationship with all
of their
guests. From
breakfast time until well after 3AM each night, there
is always something going on at this resort and you
can't help but get caught up in it. At any time of
the day there is a whole crowd of friendly guys to
mingle with, and you are sure to develop both instant

"Visiting
Palm Springs in summer means one thing - HOT WATER
in the swimming pool. Some pools go up to 95 or 100
degrees in the summer. But not at INNdulge Palm Springs.
The Owners have installed a new SwimCool
Chiller that will keep the pool cool all summer long.
'The SwimCool System keeps the pool at 86 degrees,'
states one of the owners. 'There's nothing better
than a dip in a cool pool on a hot 110 degree summer

"INNdulge
Palm Springs is a wonderful example of Palm Springs
50's architecture. The resort is centered around
a kidney-shaped pool. The beautifully landscaped
grounds frame the surrounding hotel rooms. The
only thing better than the architecture and grounds
of the property are the resort's employees and
its owners, who maintain a friendly atmosphere
resulting in a loyal repeat crowd. You can appreciate
the architecture and the mountain views during
the hotel's free social hour that extends for
two hours. It is a great way to meet the hotel's
wonderful owners, as well
as your fellow guests.

Twenty-four sharply decorated rooms surround

"As
visitors to Palm Springs know, the resorts are
well-known for rest, relaxation, and pampering.
When INNdulge opened in 1995, the owners wanted
the name to reflect its ambiance. "We literally
looked through the dictionary at every word that
started
with in or en," says one
of them. "We
came up with the name INNdulge because the dictionaries
defined indulge as to 'pamper or pleasure oneself.'
We wanted to pamper people and wanted them to
have a pleasurable experience."
From
its opening, when Palm Springs was just coming
out of a long recession, to today, INNdulge has
established a reputation for excellence at the
24-room
inn that hasn't gone unnoticed,
garnering critics' picks and awards. With the
Editor's Choice Award from Out and About,
the Best Clothing Optional Resort award from Out
Traveler, and being listed in World's Foremost

assurance at INNdulge."

"INNdulge
is a very popular resort located in the Warm
Sands area of Palm Springs. It features 24 beautiful
poolside rooms and suites, all with king size
beds, and decorated with custom southwestern-style
wrought iron and pine furniture. The pool is
open 24 hours and there is a 12-man Jacuzzi -
a great spot for making new friends.
The
rooms are lovely, but guests don't typically
spend much time there. The focal point of the
place is the pool area. And how about meeting
people? Suffice it to say that things can definitely
happen if you stay at INNdulge."

that I'm breaking a bottle of fine champagne against
the front of INNdulge, Palm Springs as I christen the
resort The Love Boat of Warm Sands. Why the Love
Boat? Well, for one reason, the place is about meeting
people. For another, you feel like your entire vacation
can take place on the spot. "I'm so relaxed, to
the point I don't even feel like going to downtown
Palm Springs, explains one guest. "I feel guilty,
but I just want to hang out here. You really don't
have to leave."
Guests who
check in and out during your stay are like new arrivals
from exotic ports. Guys come from all over the place,
from the U.S., Canada, Europe, everywhere. "We're
about half couples and about half singles," explains
one of INNdulge's owners.
The property
is typical of the classic mid-century modern style.
