A Necessary Shout-out to The Parker

There's so much residential to view, that we rarely get to browse the latest in hospitality design, even though the boutiques are usually doing things far more interesting than the average loft designer can do. Segue to an old favorite -- The Parker, Palm Springs. THE Jonathan Adler handled the design, with his signature color bursts and ability to pick the best blues and yellows in the business. Everyone says brunch at The Parker's Norma's is a must, so everyone must like $19 omelettes. We much prefer gawking at Mister Parker's ("A deconstructed formal hangout for fops, flaneurs and assorted cronies.") walls and leather booths. The Parker's a flash site, so we'll leave it to you to find your way to, and then get lost on, the photo tour.
