Once a sleepy spa town built on hot springs sacred to the Cahuilla Indians, Palm Springs is a desert paradise known for its Old Hollywood glamour and mid-century architecture. Today, the near year-round sunshine, snowcapped mountain peak views, and cool desert nights bring visitors from around the globe to experience some of the best California has to offer.
