“Drift Feels Like The Hotel Of The Future, Putting Food Front And Center”
“The tranquil, all-white patio with views of the crystal blue lap pool in the distance feels like you’re on a private island in the Mediterranean, not a roadside hotel in the desert.”
“Situated inside the Drift Palm Springs hotel, the floor-to-ceiling windows and pool-adjacent patio welcome the bright desert sun.”
“The inventive menu features fresh takes on customary Mexican dishes, dozens of craft tequilas, and creative cocktails…”
“Maleza is the latest and greatest Baja-inspired restaurant to land in Palm Springs. Though Maleza is open all day long, it is most popular for dinner, especially if you’re seeking something a bit more elevated and upscale.”
“In addition to the traditional and unexpected drink offerings, Maleza’s NA cocktail, beer and wine offerings is one the most innovative booze-free lineups you’re going to encounter.”
