This desert town, framed by the San Jacinto Mountains, has been a magnet for creative and flamboyant individuals since the early 1920s. It first attracted arty types in the early years of the twentieth century; then came the Hollywood invasion in the 1930s. By the 1940s the town had come to symbolize the all-American love of perfect weather and golf, spiced with a reputation for decadence, Here they built spacious air-conditioned compounds with glamorous swimming pools, and hosted the kind of parties that have lived on in gossip columns ever since. A lot of the antics of the now infamous Rat Pack took place in Palm Springs. In the early 1990s, Palm Springs has been experiencing a boom that is starting to resemble the one of the 1940s. A collection of "reputation" restaurants now dominate Palm Canyon Drive, and the visionary architects who originally turned Palm Springs into a modernist playground – Frey, Schindler, Neutra – have been rediscovered and their properties renovated and restored. This desert town is once more a fashionable escape destination for well-heeled Los Angeles society.

  1. Viceroy Hotel

    Palm Springs, USA

    Viceroy Palm Springs’ sixty-five rooms are spread out over surrounding grounds with a variety of studios, suites and private villas. Interior designer, Kelly Wearstler, opted to re-evoke the glamour of Hollywood's golden age. The style is a contemporary theatrical version of old European aristocratic decor: lots of chandeliers, formal drapery and Regency-style dining chairs, all transforming the Viceroy into a collage of stylish accommodation options.

    The grounds are landscaped in a Beverly Hills movie mogul manner, with three swimming pools (two for adults only), lots of palm trees, plenty of potted topiary, and enough ceramic whippets to fill a kennel!
