From the native Agua Caliente Cahuilla Indians to the first pioneers to the early Hollywood stars to the mid-century modernist architects to celebrity mayor, Sonny Bono, to today’s rediscovery, Palm Springs remains an historical and ecological wonder. The Cahuilla culture was decimated with the 1863 smallpox epidemic that killed thousands. Palm Springs’ original Indian settlement of palm frond huts became a place for health seekers in the early 1900’s, only to grow into the hideaway for Hollywood. At one point almost every star had a home or favorite hotel here. By the time it was incorporated in 1938, the Village of Palm Springs had become world-famous as a winter playground for Hollywood stars like Frank Sinatra, Marlene Dietrich, Bob Hope, Loretta Young.
Downtown Palm Springs is host to over five hundred businesses, including world class restaurants, hotels, art galleries, boutiques, shops, and more. Beautifully lined with majestic palm trees continuously lit in a wrapping of sparkling lights, a walk down Palm Canyon Drive and Indian Canyon Drive is a must to truly savor the flavor of the heart of Palm Springs.
