About Palm Springs

Palm Springs is where the California desert becomes impossibly glamorous — a mid-century modern fever dream ringed by the San Jacinto Mountains, where old Hollywood discretion meets new-money wellness culture. The light here is genuinely extraordinary, the architecture is world-class, and the sense of escape is immediate and total. This is not a beach town pretending to be luxurious; it's a place that was purpose-built for people who understand that real indulgence is silence, warmth, and a perfect martini at sunset.

6 Experiences Worth Flying Business Class For

1. A Private Architecture Tour Through the Movie Colony Neighborhood

Forget the big bus tours — hire a private guide from Palm Springs Mod Squad to walk you through the Movie Colony and Vista Las Palmas neighborhoods where Sina...

tra, Dean Martin, and Marilyn Monroe actually lived. You'll stand in front of the Twin Palms estate where Frank threw legendary parties and learn which homes were designed by Donald Wexler, Albert Frey, and Richard Neutra. The concentration of pristine mid-century architecture here is unmatched anywhere in America, and a knowledgeable guide turns a neighborhood stroll into a masterclass in 20th-century design.

Sunset Cocktails at the Copa Palm Springs Followed by Dinner at Workshop Kitchen + Bar

Start your evening at the Copa Palm Springs — a newer, design-forward boutique hotel with a pool bar scene that draws a stylish local crowd rather than tourists. Then walk to Workshop Kitchen + Bar on South Palm Canyon Drive, where chef Michael Beckman serves refined farm-to-desert cuisine in a soaring former movie theater with concrete walls and impeccable acoustics. The braised short rib and the wine list alone justify the reservation, but it's the room itself — moody, architectural, very Palm Springs — that makes this the best dinner in the valley.

3

A Morning on the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway Before the Crowds

Book the first tram up at 10 AM on a weekday and you'll ascend 8,500 feet from the scorching desert floor into an alpine wilderness in under ten minutes — the temperature drops 30 degrees and suddenly you're among Jeffrey pines and granite peaks. Most tourists treat this as a novelty, but the serious move is to hike the Desert View Trail at the top, where you can see all the way to the Salton Sea on a clear day. Come back down and reward yourself with a late lunch at Copley's On Palm Canyon, set in Cary Grant's former estate, where the patio under the bougainvillea is one of the most romantic lunch spots in Southern California.

4

A Full Day at Two Bunch Palms in Desert Hot Springs

Two Bunch Palms in nearby Desert Hot Springs is a legacy destination — Al Capone supposedly hid out here — but the recent renovations have turned it into a genuinely world-class mineral hot springs spa with a no-phones-by-the-pool policy that is blissfully enforced. The lithium-laced natural hot springs are legitimately therapeutic, not just marketing copy, and the grotto pool surrounded by palms feels like bathing in another century. Book the Watsu treatment if you can — it's a warm-water bodywork session that will recalibrate your entire nervous system.

5

Thursday Evening Art Walk on South Palm Canyon Drive

Every Thursday evening from 7 to 10 PM, the galleries along South Palm Canyon Drive open their doors for a free art walk that feels refreshingly unpretentious — part social scene, part genuine discovery. Backstreet Art District is where the more serious collectors quietly browse, and galleries like Melissa Morgan Fine Art regularly show museum-quality work at pre-auction prices. Pair it with a late dinner at Le Vallauris, the grande dame French restaurant set in a historic estate garden, where the Dover sole is prepared tableside and the old-guard elegance hasn't been ruined by Instagram.

6

A Saturday Morning at the Palm Springs Villagefest, Then Vintage Shopping at Déjà Vu

The Villagefest street fair every Thursday night gets all the attention, but Saturday mornings are when the real Palm Springs reveals itself — start with breakfast at Cheeky's, where the rotating weekly menu and bacon flight have earned a cult following, then walk the strip of vintage and consignment shops along North Palm Canyon. Déjà Vu and the adjoining Revivals are treasure troves of mid-century furniture, vintage barware, and Hollywood memorabilia at prices that would make a Silver Lake dealer weep. This is where you find the hand-thrown Heath Ceramics bowl or the 1960s brass starburst clock that becomes the centerpiece of your living room.

Peak Season

January through April

This is when Palm Springs earns its reputation — daytime temperatures hover between 75 and 90 degrees, the wildflowers bloom in the surrounding desert, and every rooftop pool is operating at full capacity. Coachella and Stagecoach in April bring a younger, louder energy that overwhelms the valley, so if you want the sophisticated Palm Springs, aim for February or early March. Hotel rates at places like The Parker and L'Horizon are at their highest, but the weather is genuinely flawless and you'll understand why every president from Eisenhower to Obama escaped here.

🌴

Shoulder Season

November through December and early May

November is arguably the best-kept secret in Palm Springs — temperatures are still in the mid-70s to low 80s, rates drop significantly from peak, and the Modernism Week Preview in October sets a cultured tone that lingers. December brings a festive desert-chic atmosphere, with The Rowan and Kimpton Goodland decorating beautifully without the chaos. Early May is a gamble on heat, but you'll have pools to yourself and restaurants will treat you like royalty because they actually have availability.
