Viceroy Palm Springs rings in the new year with self-improvement sessions, healthful in-room dining, group wellness activities and poolside entertainment-
January 17, 2008 (Palm Springs) -Retro-chic may be Palm Springs’ claim to fame, but its soothing desert setting is also ideally suited for introspection, self-discovery and healing. Well aware of the desert’s curative magic, Viceroy Palm Springs Resort & Estrella Spa introduces a wealth of new wellness offerings to its roster of amenities for 2008 – soul-searching seminars and a new Life Coach, in-room wellness treats from Citron Restaurant, a creative new line up of wellness-themed activities for group retreats, and poolside Cabaret. Holistic health and wellness are central to the Viceroy experience, and we are delighted to share this overview of what’s new at Viceroy Palm Springs for 2008.
Soul Sessions with Life Coach Trent Blanchard: 2008 New Year’s resolution #1: Deepen self-insight and nurture empowerment. Life Coach Trent Blanchard is highly skilled at helping students identify and shed self-imposed limitations, enabling them to pursue passions, create work/life balance, set goals and make plans. This year, step out of your comfort zone and embrace life.
In-Room Wellness Menu: Viceroy Palm Springs now invites guests to enjoy its delicious array of wellness offerings in the ease of their private room. The new in-room Wellness Menu offers a selection of Citron restaurant’s all-natural and organic dishes, made with fresh herbs straight from the resort’s own garden, along with a selection of the most soothing body treatments from Estrella Spa.
Corporate Wellness Program: Bring a unique twist to your meetings and events by introducing an unexpected (but much appreciated) spa and wellness component. Let Estrella Spa create a group program of healthy morning starts, reviving breaks and/or relaxed free time that attendees will enthusiastically indulge. Group activity options include:
– Morning Energy Hike: Invigorate the group with a scenic hike through the San Jacinto Mountains, complete with panoramic views, hot cocoa breaks and organic smoothies.

– Chair Massage Break: Give the group a mid-day boost with 10-minute Chair Massages.
– Quick-and-Easy Stretch Break: Stretch techniques build energy and stimulate the mind.
– Team Building with Life Coach: Trent Blanchard will lead exercises that help develop a more dynamic and cohesive team.
– A la Carte Spa Menu: Let Viceroy create a Spa Treatment Menu tailored to your group’s needs. Pick treatments off Estrella Spa’s menu or have the spa personalize new ones.
