The ASSOULINE Travel Series takes readers on a journey to the most sought-after cities, sharing the stories and celebrating the hot spots and figures that have turned each location into a must-see. Exclusive vintage and original photos reveal the distinct spirit and DNA of the place, with each volume presented in eye-catching, vibrant textured hardcover inspired by the destination.

Synonymous with mid-century modern architecture and the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, Palm Springs is an oasis in California’s Sonoran Desert. With forecasts of sunshine and warm weather year-round, Palm Springs attracts golfers, celebrities, and wellness enthusiasts. A living architectural museum, the city champions the stars of the mid-century modern movement, such as Richard Neutra and Albert Frey. A pastel playground for revelers and those with eccentric tastes. A reprieve for those seeking to connect with nature, on spectacular display in nearby Joshua Tree National Park.

The region is always evolving, finding inventive ways to merge the retro vibe with the interests of the present. Step back into the heyday of the 1960s and ’70s, exploring the haunts of the Rat Pack and Marilyn Monroe. Then jump to the contemporary land-art exhibition of “Desert X,” which showcases cutting-edge installations. Palm Springs is a time-bending destination that is, to put it simply, fun. This desert oasis is brought to life through its colorful inhabitants and bold style. In the pages of Palm Springs, discover the paradise that Frank Sinatra called home for more than fifty years.
