This Moroccan-style oasis at the plush Colony Palms Hotel has history and charm to spare, having once been the stomping ground of stars like Clark Gable and Humphrey Bogart. Whether you’re indoors admiring its elaborate floor tiles and wallpaper, or poolside watching guests take a dip in the turquoise waters, the glamour factor is undeniable and infectious. You might even spot a famous face on a jaunt from L.A. In keeping with the pool-party vibe, the menu is laid-back, from snacks like edamame hummus, to heftier fare like a grilled pork chop with cheesy polenta. Start with an appetizer, perhaps the scallop aguachile, before moving on to mains like chicken pot pie. To finish, the molten lava cake never disappoints.
