Palm Springs. Overview. Palm Springs in the California Desert sprung back to life in the mid 1990s having been quiet from the mid sixties. In the 1950's it had been kept lively by Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack. Now there is such a variety of people to enjoy, places to go, beautiful retro buildings and boutique hotels to see and sleep in. For a purely self indulgent holiday Palm Springs is a big treat with spas, golf tournaments, and a 30 acre waterfront shopping district called The River. If it’s bargains you’re after there is a materialist’s paradise called the Desert Hills outlet mall. It is 20 minutes from Palm Springs, full of objects with the designer’s brand labels ostentatiously visible on the outside of the retail object, such as Dior, Gucci and Escada to name a few. But then everything we wear is designer! Someone somewhere has had to design everything first before it can be made by the factory after all! Palm Springs Art Museum is full of wonderful contemporary talent as well as pre Columbian Antiquities. Eat delicious meals at stylish restaurants in Palm Canyon Drive.
