V Palm Springs is the area's newest boutique hotel and is uniquely positioned to further revitalize South Palm Springs. The 140-room hotel, owned by celebrity lawyers Mark Geragos and Brian Kabateck, is set to redefine the desert lodging experience.
New York-based Blank Slate Group developed the concepts and currently serves as the culinary creative partner for the hotel's food & beverage outlets. Elixir Pool Bar & Grill will debut on April 14th, in time for Coachella, with Solstice, the hotel’s restaurant & lounge, to follow in September.
Elixir will be a Polynesian-inspired poolside hot spot serving relaxed Asian-Fusion BBQ fare throughout the day. The menu will feature a variety of options from sharable snacks such as green curry guacamole with roasted Serrano chili, charred lime, cilantro and fresh plantain chips to larger plates like fried rice noodles with sautéed vegetables, avocado puree, kombu-infused white soy ponzu, and candied sambal. Blank Slate Group has partnered with renowned mixologist Shannon Stiggins, most recently of New York City's Cosme and theNew York EDITION Hotel to offer inventive and flavorful drinks, frozen beverages and sharable cocktails, with a modern-Tiki influence.
To celebrate the launch, Elixir will kick off each Coachella weekend with a party debuting their innovative cocktails and food. On Sundays, they will wrap up the festivities with a "Recovery Lounge," featuring a Bloody Mary bar, yoga, IV cabanas by the IV Doc—all designed to help guests reenergize.
The hotel's restaurant & lounge, Solstice, which opens in September, will be a desert-inspired, simple, modern American restaurant and cocktail lounge, serving creative farm-to-table fare with the freshest locally sourced ingredients.
