There are places where it\u2019s good to be LGBTQ+, and then there\u2019s Palm Springs<\/a> – a destination in a league of its own. With estimates suggesting that around 50% of the population identifies as a member of the community, it\u2019s no wonder this small desert city has become a beloved haven for Queer individuals. Just two hours by car from Los Angeles, Palm Springs feels like an intimate, welcoming enclave where acceptance is woven into the fabric of everyday life. The city has an array of LGBTQ+ venues, but even those not explicitly labeled as such radiate inclusivity. Naturally, this sense of belonging is something you\u2019d want reflected in your choice of accommodation, and that\u2019s precisely what I found at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort<\/a> – a sanctuary that effortlessly blends luxury with the community\u2019s warm, inviting spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nestled in Palm Desert, one of the nine cities that make up the Greater Palm Springs<\/a> region, the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort is a glamorous retreat located just a 20-minute drive from Palm Springs. While the distance may initially seem like a drawback, it quickly became one of the trip’s highlights. I was in town for Pride<\/a> (which takes place every November) and as you\u2019d expect, downtown Palm Springs can get lively and crowded during the festivities. Escaping to the tranquility of the JW Marriott after a busy day felt like a true blessing. The resort, which feels like its own self-contained oasis, offers everything you could possibly need right on-site. There are always affordable taxis available on rideshare apps or local services, and having the option to escape the chaos is certainly not something you\u2019ll regret – especially when it\u2019s as special as the JW Marriott.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just the drive up, in fact, instantly tells you all you need to know about the property. Fairy lights wrap around the palm trees that line the road and, at the heart of it all, is a grand lobby – a dazzling centrepiece that features a bar, a restaurant, and a cozy coffee shop, setting the tone for the resort\u2019s sophistication. Beyond its striking first impression, the JW Marriott boasts an array of world-class amenities, including two expansive golf courses, a cutting-edge fitness center, and a pristine spa. The latter, with its private pools and jacuzzis, feels like a hidden sanctuary within the resort – a true retreat that\u2019s simply unmissable during your stay. Treatments on offer range from a number of facials, massages and couples treatments, which you can book ahead of time<\/a> if you\u2019d like to. I got a standard facial, which I\u2019m not embarrassed to admit was so relaxing that I fell asleep during it – twice. But what better way is there to unwind after a day at Pride?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The resort boasts an impressive selection of pools beyond those in the spa, with the main three conveniently located at the heart of the property. These strike the perfect balance between sunshine and shade, catering to whatever mood you\u2019re in, and – perhaps most importantly – never feel overly crowded. Between them are two serene hot tubs, which are open late into the night, making them the ideal spot to unwind with a drink after a long day. Whether you\u2019re soaking up the sun or enjoying a tranquil evening dip, the pool area offers the perfect blend of relaxation and luxury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
