On y trouve les adresses incontournables du modernisme du désert, malheureusement pour la plupart propriétés privées qui ne peuvent être visitées, notamment la Kaufmann Desert House de Richard Neutra (on a quand même pris quelques photos depuis l'extérieur discrètement).
On fait alors un tour des hôtels, tous plus beaux les uns que les autres. Nous sommes restés à l'hôtel Ace mais nous avons adoré aussi le Horizon Hotel situé juste en face.
Pour en savoir plus sur Palm Springs, nous conseillons le livre "Julius Schulman: Palm Springs", par Michael Stern and Alan Hess.

2 days exploring this oasis, starting with the Visitors Centre, a former gas station built in 1963 in the modern architecture style. A map is displayed with main mid-century modern landmarks, however most of the properties are private. We still took some pictures from the outside of the Kaufmann Desert House by Richard Neutra.
Finally we went for a tour of the city and explored the different hotels, which are the main attraction there. We stayed at Ace Hotel but had a big crush on the Horizon Hotel as well.
