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