Doral Desert Princess Resort - Phenomenal Desert
Beauty with Exceptional Amenities & Value
Surrounded
by spectacular mountain views and pristine desert landscapes, the
Doral Desert Princess Resort, Palm Springs, is located on a 345-acre,
27-hole championship golf course. With scenic vistas of lakes filled with
koi fish and ducks, endless palm trees and a backdrop of majestic
mountains, the expansive resort is literally minutes from Palm Springs
International Airport as well as chic boutiques, countless dining options
and downtown Palm Springs.
Quintessential Palm Springs images
ranging from beautifully manicured golf courses,
the San Jacinto
mountains and an Olympic-size pool, provide an unparalleled backdrop from
each of the 285 guest room balconies or patios. All guest rooms feature a
two-line telephone with standard modem access, and an optional high speed
internet access, as well as a large executive work desk;
mini-refrigerator; complimentary cable; computerized in-room safes; hair
dryers; decaffeinated and caffeinated Columbian coffee and daily USA Today
newspaper delivery. Southwestern-inspired shades of coral accentuate
twelve 710-square-foot suites, complete with wrap-around balconies, two
bathrooms and queen-sized sofa beds. With seasonal rates ranging from $189
to $429 per night, suites are a tremendous value. The nearly
1000-square-foot Presidential Suite is equally enticing with its plush
interior, three bedrooms, dining room and wet bar and seasonal rates
ranging from $389 to $649.

booking a one, two and three bedroom vacation condominium or executive
