Another Pink Palace, The Don CeSar celebrates its 95th anniversary in 2023 with a top-to-bottom renovation of its six restaurants, 277 guestrooms and suites, two pools, spa and public spaces.

 

JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa

Here, it’s the patrons that are pink — a flock of Chilean flamingos reside on Flamingo Island at the entrance to the resort. Guests can join daily feedings, or take in the resort’s two golf courses and a serene spa.

Renovations debut at The Vinoy in December 2022, but its pink exterior will remain. The historic hotel boasts 362 rooms, two pools, 10 Har-Tru tennis courts, a golf course and five restaurants.
