THIS TRUE MID-CENTURY modern gem reopened two years ago after an extensive restoration of the original architecture and addition of modern amenities. Originally built in 1952 by famed Southern California architect William F. Cody, the 22-room property boasts low-slung ceilings and the absence of any 90-degree angles, opting instead for surreal 102- and 78-degree angles. Along with spectacular views of the San Jacinto Mountains, the Horizon Hotel features chemical-free therapy pools, outdoor showers, a Jacuzzi spa and a poolside bar.
