Palm Springs has lots of activities to help you get outdoors and enjoy the beautiful sunshine. On Thursday night, you can visit the old-fashioned street fair on Palm Canyon Drive, filled with music, food, and crafts. If you enjoy the great outdoors, try the hiking or biking trails at the Coachella Valley Preserve, or pick up trail maps at the Palm Springs Visitor Information Center or the Leisure Center. For indoor activities, check out the Palm Springs Desert Museum, the Agua Caliente Cultural Museum, and the many galleries in town. Finally, relax to some live music at one of the various sidewalk cafes downtown.

UPDATED INFORMATION ---
Due to our conversion to Renaissance and because the hotel has to apply some of their accounting practices, they are bundling the rate and the resort fee together to show as one charge.  The rate will seem higher than the contracted rate shown below, but it is simply because they already added the resort fee to it.  This will be explained again at check-in.
