Renovations are now complete at three
of Luxe Worldwide Hotels independently owned properties in celebrated
resort locales. “Updates continue to keep our member hotels ahead of the
competition,” said Luxe’s President and CEO, Efrem Harkham as he announced
the projects’ finish. In Palm Springs, famed architect Albert Frey designed the 1935 modernist
Movie Colony Hotel. The couples-only, 16-room desert enclave is devoted to
the ultimate in low-key, private relaxation. Rooms have been re-decorated
in a minimalist style, with a nod to the building’s notable architecture.
At the hotel’s nightly happy hour, guests gather round a glass-filled fire
pit. Continental breakfast is included in the room rate. The Movie Colony
Hotel is at 726 N. Indian Canyon Drive, one block east of Palm Springs’
main thoroughfare, Palm Canyon Drive.

recently completed over $1 million exterior and interior renovation. Each
spacious suite features separate living room and kitchen. The 16 Contessa
