Descanso is Palm Springs newest gay resort
The luxury property is the first to go gay in the city in more than a decade DAVID TAFFET | Senior Staff Writertaffet@dallasvoice.com Descanso is the first resort for gay men to open in Palm Springs in more than 10 years, and “The response has been beyond expectations,” said general manager Kent Taylor.
Weekends are already booked through June, although some weeknights are still available during Pride month. Taylor said the trend among the area’s gay resorts in recent years has been to go straight, and his property was one of the first to do so.
Formerly called East Canyon, it lasted as a straight resort for about four years. Now, however, the property has been completely renovated and has re-opened with amenities “to create a special men’s experience,” Taylor said.
Currently the resort features 14 rooms, but two more will come online once they’ve been refurbished to Descanso standards. Rooms feature king-size beds.
