A unique gay resort-"Polynesian Pop" retro 50's style Tiki guest house in the bed and breakfast tradition!
The Indianola was built in 1955 as the Indianola Lodge in the exclusive Palm Springs Movie Colony district. The convergence of modern design, Hollywood glamour and the desolate drama of the desert epitomize the architectural innovation that took place during this period. Indianola - A Tiki Resort has captured all of the charm of this bygone era by combining collections and artifacts of the 50's coupled with original furnishings from the Ritts Furniture Company designed for the Indianola Lodge in 1955.
All of the rooms are set in a private court- yard and open on to a crystal clear heated pool surrounded by hand-carved Tiki gods,a trickling bamboo fountain and thatched
umbrellas. Enjoy the sun and stunning
mountain vistas while nibbling on fresh fruit and our extended continental breakfast served poolside.The afternoons are perfect for sipping a Mai tai by the pool and relaxing in the comfort of our refreshing misting system or touring Palm Springs on one of our complimentary retro-50's Schwinn bicycle cruisers. As the desert moon rises, enjoy our romantic gardens by Tiki torchlight or dip in our secluded 12-man hot tub while the music of a bygone era serenades you.
