Palm Spring book

Synonymous with mid-century modern architecture and the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, Palm Springs is an oasis in California’s Sonoran Desert. With sunshine and warm weather forecast all year round, Palm Springs attracts golfers, celebrities and wellness enthusiasts. A veritable museum of architecture, the city showcases the leading figures of the mid-century modern movement, such as Richard Neutra and Albert Frey. A pastel-coloured playground for party-goers and those with eccentric tastes. A haven for those seeking to connect with nature, which is spectacularly showcased in the nearby Joshua Tree National Park.

The region is constantly evolving, finding inventive ways to blend a retro atmosphere with contemporary interests. Take a trip back to the heyday of the 1960s and 1970s, as you explore the haunts of the Rat Pack and Marilyn Monroe. Then pop along to the ‘Desert X’ contemporary art exhibition, which features cutting-edge installations. Palm Springs is a destination that stands the test of time and is, quite simply, great fun. This desert oasis comes to life thanks to its colourful inhabitants and their vibrant styles. In the pages of *Palm Spring*, discover the paradise where Frank Sinatra lived for over fifty years.
