Nestled between the San Jacinto and San Gorgonio mountains you’ll find a luxurious desert resort created by one of the greatest international hospitality chains. Marriott Shadow Ridge in Palm Desert and Koolfog, Inc joined this summer in a collaboration to enhance Marriott’s pool area with re-designed and enhanced high-pressure misters.
