History
The Colony Palms Hotel was originally built as the "Colonial House" by Las Vegas casino owner and Purple Gang member[1] Al Wertheimer.[2]Шаблон:Rp The hotel began receiving guests in 1936, and had a reputed downstairs speakeasy and brothel. It was renamed "Howard Manor" in the late 1940s when Robert and Andrea Leeds Howard took possession.[3] (Robert Howard was the son of Charles S. Howard.) Boxing champion Jack Dempsey was also an owner.[3] For the next 25 years the hotel was a haven for young Hollywood in Palm Springs.
In the 1970s, it became a health spa called The Palms operated by Sheila Cluff (owner of The Oaks in Ojai, California).[1]
The original hotel had a mural on the wall that was Botticelli-esque in nature, with some frolicking nudes. The new owner (Steve Ohren) preserved the original mural from 1935[4] when redesigning the resort with Martyn Lawrence-Bullard.[1]
