Welcome to Palm Springs

Best Places To EAT...

 

...at least according to Owners & Managers

of dozens of Palm Springs' most-popular

Small Resorts, Hotels & Inns and

the Editors of Palm Springs

Best Places Guide!

 

If you think about it, it makes perfect sense that Palm Springs’ small hoteliers, their owners, managers and even their front desk staffs would have to have a keen awareness of local restaurants. It's simply an expected part of the personalized service these types of popular boutique properties provide their savvy well-travelled often fine dining focused guests - guests who knowingly choose to stay at places that don't have restaurants of their own!  

 

So small hoteliers, having this type of clientele is probably why they become so good at “personally recommending” restaurants. After all, they dine at local eateries themselves, so they know a lot first hand, they're used to constantly being asked  by guests "where's a good place to eat," so they're used to describing restaurants and matching them up with their guests, and finally, they realize they'll have to face those guests they just gave their “personal recommendations” to and hear just how well (or not-well) it went for them.  Not surprisingly, small hoteliers soon learn how much nicer it is for everyone to revel in the warm fuzzy banter of gratitude that comes from getting a recommendation right - compared to squirming through the awkward sometimes-frosty feedback they'll get when they don’t. 

 

Mindy Reed / Owner of Zin & Zini

It's an intense individualized trial-by-fire learning process for small hoteliers - but it’s one that puts those who care and who're serious about it way ahead of the curve when it comes to ultimately establishing their own credentials as being "in the know" about just what places really are Palm Springs’ BEST PLACES to EAT!

 

It's worth noting that there's a genuine kindred spirit and symbiotic relationship that exists between a lot of Palm Springs’ small hoteliers and restaurateurs.  As diverse and unruly a group as they can be, most of them still know they need to work together in order to succeed - especially these days.  That's why Virtual CoOp Marketing Venues (portal websites like this) are so vitally important. They allow otherwise independent entrepreneurs to share ideas and pool resources to more cost-effectively penetrate their common marketplaces - and yet still allows them to retain and fully embrace their independent entrepreneurial spirit and run their respective non-corporate non-branded businesses just as they see fit!  

 

Therein lays the inspiration for creating this website.  While it's admittedly a bit of a respectful tipping of the hat to Palm Springs small hoteliers and restaurateurs - it's mostly really just our simply developing a viable self-sustaining functioning "green" co-op marketing mechanism that works - that provides a cost-effective way to better spread the word about these great little businesses to the world.  

 

We hope you’ll find both the online version and the soon-to-be-available downloadable/printable PDF version of  Palm Springs BEST PLACES to EAT  so user-friendly and helpful that you can't help but return often or resist sharing it with your family, friends and colleagues... 

Bon Appetite,
