Originally designed in 1952 by renowned architect William F. Cody as a family retreat for the television producer and oil tycoon Jack Wrather, this secluded hideaway reopened as a luxury hotel in 2015. The resort encompasses a low-slung, angular residence (now considered to be one of the most significant examples of midcentury architecture in California) and 25 bungalows set on 3 acres dotted with mature palm trees. The San Jacinto Mountains provide a dramatic backdrop. No outside visitors are allowed in public areas, which include a pool and a bar. Spa treatments are offered in outdoor bungalows; room service and dinner are provided by the romantic SO•PA restaurant. The hotel does not permit guests under the age of 21.

The midcentury architecture; the feeling of privacy and seclusion; the delightful staff.
There was no place to plug in a cell phone near the bed; the spa treatments are expensive.
Happily, there is no outrageous parking fee, as at so many California resorts.
Lowest Rate: Standard Bungalow, $420; Editor’s Choice: Junior Suite Bungalow, $800.
