Palm Springs became the escape valve for Hollywood and the aviation set starting in the 1930s. Fly-in resorts dotted the desert by the 1950s, where guests could land a private plane and be poolside within minutes. Desert air and mid-century modernism made this corner of California a destination that shaped how America imagined leisure itself. Part of our Retro Hotel collection, featuring the iconic locations of yesteryear.
