Also in AFAR.
It manages to feel sprawling and spread-out with just a few levels of rooms and plenty of pockets of communal open-air spaces...
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.

The elevated second-floor pool looks out over Palm Canyon Drive toward the San Jacinto Mountains.
