A Local’s Guide to Palm Springs: Hotels, Food & the Perfect Desert Getaway with Jamie Haley

Need a quick escape from the chaos of everyday life? Palm Springs might be exactly what you’re looking for.I sit down with artist and Palm Springs local Jamie Haley to talk about what makes this desert destination so special, from its laid-back vibe to its iconic mid-century modern design. We get into where to stay (including a dreamy adults-only boutique hotel and a rooftop pool with mountain views), the best time to visit (hint: shoulder season is your friend!), and why you should explore beyond Palm Springs into the greater Coachella Valley.Jamie shares her favorite things to do, from morning hikes and architectural tours to vintage markets and hidden photo spots (including a very quirky robot house). We also talk about how to beat the heat, whether that’s pool days, taking the aerial tram up to cooler mountain temps, or stargazing in nearby Joshua Tree National Park.And of course… we talk food. From a tiny, can’t-miss restaurant with a line out the door to the best brunch spots, sushi, and margaritas in town.We also get into the local scene, including live music, festivals, and why Palm Springs has become so much more than just a retiree destination.If you’re planning a weekend getaway or just want a dose of sunshine and inspiration, this episode has you covered.👉 For more travel inspiration, tips, and behind-the-scenes stories, subscribe to my Substack at The Gomes Guide.Follow Jamie on Instagram: @travelthisweekendSupport the show
