Food & Drink at Norma’s

The concept of breakfast at Norma's can be a no-holds-barred extravaganza of decadent proportions -- it's a habit picked up from her sister restaurant -- also 'Norma's' -- located in New York City. But there is no denying a contagious feeling of both calm and delight as you pull up a chair or slide into a booth to peruse the menu. Go spare and minimalist with the simplicity of poached eggs and half a grapefruit or go maximalist with any one of the french toast, waffle, or pancake concoctions. Go gluten free, vegan or vegetarian -- they serve to change it up and please. The white slump block and wood interior of Norma’s is a room open, friendly and bright throughout the day -- cozy, votive-lit, and discreet at night when the menu changes to a short selection of California fresh, clean entrees prepared to classic perfection or with the subtlest twist to standard. Comfortable, low-key, effortless.

Additionally, there are several other options to eat and be merry throughout the hotel -there's a terrace eatery, an opulent restaurant, and a bohemian bar, plus a cocktail bar and a lemonade stand.

Activities

The Joshua Tree National park is an hour away from the hotel - the concierge can customize a hiking trip based on distance, scenery, level of difficulty or time requirements. They’ll even pack you a lunch!

Other amenities include 2 outdoor pools, a 24-hour fitness room, as well lawn games, and a posh spa with an indoor pool. Play tennis, pétanque, croquet on the grounds, or go golfing in the Coachella Valley.
