A handful of historic Palm Springs-area resorts favored by Hollywood stars have been updated lovingly through the decades.
Curious about how Palm Springs became Angelenos’ favorite weekend escape? When Hollywood’s movie industry flourished in the 1920s, film stars were contractually mandated to travel no further than two hours away from their studios during production, in case they were needed on set. Palm Springs was a two-hour drive from L.A. — and it was always sunny, unlike competing getaway destinations like Santa Barbara.
The celebs and their minions often stayed and played in three star-studded resorts: the Desert Inn , El Mirador and the Racquet Club . All that’s left of the big three today is a reconstruction of El Mirador’s grand Spanish Colonial-style tower, now part of the Desert Regional Medical Center.But a handful of other historic Palm Springs-area resorts favored by Hollywood stars were spared the wrecking ball.
