Finding Modernism
by Candice Swanson
Orbit In - Palm Springs, California
"Womb chairs," lava lamps and "Orbitinis" at the Dean Martin style cocktail bar... Orbit In is the ultimate Palm Springs modern experience where the 1950's never went out of style. Integrity and authenticity abound here in two fabulous settings: "The Oasis" and "The Hideaway." The Oasis has nine suites with names like "Rat Pack" and is a social butterfly's dream with its constant access to the social scene. "The Hideaway," with its nine suites is for purists looking to hermitize with spa services. Our favorite appointments: designer fabrics and furnishings by the likes of Eames, Risom and Paulin; and kitchens with original fittings and melmac dinnerware. Yep, it's a cool pad, Daddy-O.
