We drove in our red convertible to the swanky Caliente Tropics Motel in Palm Springs. It was the perfect spot for our tiki/rat pack getaway.
The Caliente was completely restored in 2001, and has a ginormous swimming pool. Tipping the scale at over 100,000 gallons, it holds the title of the third largest pool in Palm Springs – no wonder it was a favorite hang-out for Elvis, as well as a very young Nancy Sinatra, and the site of one of the first Miss Hawaiian Tropic contests.
The rooms were nice – not fancy, but neither was the price! The architecture is very cool – if you’re old enough, you’ll remember when there were space age inspired motels like this all over California.
Swim by the light of the tiki torches, in the same pool where Elvis hung-out and Nancy Sinatra grew-up!
