Palm Springs’ Oldest Inn: Casa Cody 🏜️✨

A century ago, Harriet Cody traveled by horse-drawn carriage from Hollywood to this desert, hoping the dry climate would heal her husband’s illness. They settled in an adobe house, which slowly grew into an inn. Charlie Chaplin stayed here. Anaïs Nin wrote here. The athlete dormitories from the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics were even moved here and converted into guest rooms. The courtyard holds buildings designed by architect Myron Hunt, surrounded by lush gardens—where the ambiance of both World Wars and old Hollywood still lingers in every corner. Today, it’s a historically protected site. While its exterior remains unchanged, the interior has been thoughtfully renovated: Spanish colonial style blends with modern touches, complete with a pool, bar, and serene courtyard. Citrus trees heavy with fruit fill the yard—pluck one anytime and squeeze fresh juice. Between the sweet and tart, you taste the romance of a bygone era. 🍊🍋 #PalmSprings #HistoricInn #DesertEscape #CasaCody #OldHollywood #TravelInStyle #CaliforniaHistory #SpanishColonial #PoolsideVibes #TimelessEscape #CulturalRetreat
