How it rates: * * *

New and noteworthy: The quirky Palm Springs luxury resort stars in its own Bravo reality show, putting hotels in the pop culture pantheon.

The stay: Like visiting a wacky aunt who adores you; life's luxuries; and 1960s pop art.

The scene: Stylish young couples lying languorously by the pool or in their air-conditioned rooms.

Deal maker: Large property maintains small boutique feeling with unique style and a great spa.

Deal breaker: Far from downtown, guests must drive to escape the pricey food.

Stats: 4200 E. Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs; (760) 770-5000, www.theparkerpalmsprings.com.

Rooms: Rates average $275 for standard rooms but can range from $125 to $600, not including the Gene Autry house.

Rating is based on the room, service, ambience and overall experience with price taken into account in relation to quality.
