The Hot List 2019

I think we all need giant pink day beds in our lives. Next to a giant pool. This is the @sandshotelspa – a new hotel that’s so awesome for a getaway.

Pink walls, Moroccan flair, photographs of leisurely desert days gone by—these are just a few of the elements Martyn incorporated throughout the property, most notably in its on-site restaurant, the Pink Cabana.

The 46-room boutique hotel is the first of its kind in the charming desert community and has everything going for it.

 Now, those making like a Golden Age star and heading out to the desert for a weekend away will have one more Instagram-worthy resort to choose from with the recently debuted Sands Hotel & Spa.

The warm, rosy tone makes everyone look attractive in its glow, and black and white provide just enough contrast to add an exotic flavor, giving the hotel its Moorish vibes.”

Along with its stunning style, the spa experience is truly an authentic one built on the Moorish focus of the property and the spa.

The Sands Hotel in Indian Wells, California, was redesigned by Martyn Lawrence Bullard, who took a former 1950s apartment structure behind The Nest watering hole and turned it into a sexy hotel

This all-day gem at the new Sands Hotel in Indian Wells boasts a gold-accented bar, palm-patterned wallpaper, retro photography, and cocktails worthy of your Instagram feed.

Los Angeles interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard’s hotel renovations tend to follow a pattern — or, rather, dazzling patterns, created by bold colors and Moroccan-influenced textiles and tiles.

Indian Wells is home to what may be the region’s buzziest new retreat: Sands Hotel & Spa.

One of desert’s hottest restaurants to open in 2018, Pink Cabana attracts diners not just for its food, but also its delightful pastel brasserie-style interior.

Playing with a bubble-gum-pink hue paid off for Bullard’s dining concept inside Sands Hotel & Spa, where the cathedral ceiling and plush banquette in this shade shoulder a gallery wall.

After joining The Pink Cabana last year, Brown put his own spin on the menu, adding touches like tagine and mezze that nod totherestaurant’s Moroccan-tinged decor and a gargantuan club sandwich that honors Indian Wells’ tennis club pedigree.

They are all excellent, for different reasons: with exposed beam ceilings, russet red walls, concrete floors with inlaid pebbles and butterfly chairs; Sands as the first designer boutique in Indian Wells.

Lee and Aaron booked the Sands Hotel and Spa for their 150-guest weekend celebration. “We wanted playful, elevated kitsch mixed with classic Palm Springs resort flair and some classic Hollywood glam thrown in the mix.

If Martin Lawrence Bullard’s stylish homage to a classic tennis club at Sands Hotel & Spa doesn’t transport you to another world (it will), grab an outdoor table and let the pool’s Marrakesh-meets-St. Tropez vibe and chef Jason Niederkorn’s new menu complete the journey.

The 46-room hotel, transformed in 2018 into a desert pink oasis with a central pool and high arches, is one part Palm Springs, two parts Moroccan fantasyland.
