Starlite, Star Bright Lovers' Retreat
Starry-eyed lovers escape winter's chill at Riviera Palm Springs
PALM SPRINGS, CA - November 20, 2012 - Riviera Palm Springs invites lovers to escape to the desert's best kept secret and snuggle up under starry night skies with the Starlite, Star Bright lovers' retreat, starting at $410/night. As the desert heat begins to cool, sparks fly when guests rekindle their connection around glowing fire pits and gaze into the night to wish upon shooting stars.
From Dec. 1, 2012 to Feb. 28, 2013 , the ultimate lovers' retreat at Riviera Palm Springs starts with wine tasting at the retro-fab Starlite Lounge. This exclusive hotspot turns up the heat while tasting flights of full-bodied red or crisp white wines. Epicurean flirtation continues with a fireside dinner for two at swanky, al fresco Circa 59 restaurant, where stars align over small plates and “sharables” featuring premium meats, fresh seafood and locally-grown Coachella Valley produce. For a decadent nightcap, couples cuddle under the moonlight, toasting marshmallows and building s'mores around a private fire pit while staying warm under blankets in each other's arms.
For a celestial rendezvous, lovebirds take flight in an evening ride in the Palm Springs Aerial Tram, ascending Mount San Jacinto amidst twinkling constellations. The world's largest rotating tramcar transports stargazers two and a half miles above sandy desert floors to snowcapped mountains and pristine wilderness. A weekend of total relaxation concludes with an out of this world Twilight Massage Treatment at SpaTerre, featuring soothing Balinese, Thai and Indonesian rituals. Before drifting off to dreamland, a zodiac turndown featuring personalized astrological horoscopes reveal what destiny has written in the stars.
Riviera Palm Springs is an iconic playground of the past to the likes of Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack, characterized today as Old Hollywood glamor, with a fresh, playful twist. The sprawling resort recently completed a $70 million modernization and continues to inspire some of the desert's best-kept secrets. Creating a "re-mix" of 60s influences, from oversized crystal chandeliers and vibrant shag rugs, to Andy Warhol pop art and an eclectic blend of retro furnishings, Riviera Palm Springs also boasts hundreds of towering palms, sparkling pools, private cabanas and intimate poolside fire pits.
