Anthea Gerrie takes a walk back to happiness at the retro Saguaro Palm Springs

Clouds of star dust hover over the deliciously eccentric Ingleside Inn in Palm Springs, one of the most authentic boutique hotels on the planet that dates back to the Golden days of Hollywood. Chilling out on the swing veranda seat, exploring grounds whose romantic villas hide behind lush vegetation or lounging at the secluded poolside you are more of a cherished private house guest than a hotel customer.
