Details

It was the “The Atomic Age” and Palm Springs captured the futuristic mood like no other place on earth. Nestled in the foothills of the San Jacinto Mountains is this famed Palms Springs Tennis Club Neighborhood. This area has an eclectic mix of boutique hotels and private sanctuaries that became hideaways for stars like Errol Flynn, Lucille Ball, Doris Day and Gloria Swanson. Today, Hollywood's young crowd continue to enjoy these resorts.
