Palm Springs is unquestionably the world's most famous desert playground - from golf in the winter to a massage at a first-class spa resort. A charming village with an urban culture, the shopping, entertainment, architecture, dining and recreation are second to none. Palm Springs lies on the western edge of the magnificent Colorado Desert less than 2 hours east of Los Angeles and northeast of San Diego, CA. Creating a breathtaking backdrop for the quaint downtown is the impressive Mt. San Jacinto, rising behind it to an elevation of 10,831 feet. Famous as the playground for stars such as Clark Gable, Cary Grant, Lucille Ball, Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley, Palm Springs is once again a magnet for celebrities of all persuasions. The explosion in interest in mid-century modernist architecture has also helped put the spotlight on Palm Springs, which boasts perhaps the most extensive and pristine collection of the best of this design of any city in the world.
