The Caliente Tropics has the original architecture, and that's half the battle.

Here's a blurb from their web site:

"Welcome to the Caliente Tropics Resort in Palm Springs, California where we bring the island ambiance of Polynesia to life. One of the finest remaining examples of Tiki and Polynesian styled Palm Springs hotels built in the 60's and completely updated for the 21st Century, the Caliente Tropics Resort reflects the look of 1964 while offering the spacious luxury and convenience demanded by today's guests.

Elvis visited and Nancy Sinatra lived here for awhile. Their laughter can sometimes still be heard by the pool. The Tiki torches, the dark waters, and a tropical sunset take you away to a relaxing place soothing to the soul."

Elvis and Nancy Sinatra...that's provenance my friend.

In the right hands, this place could be "it."
