Palm Springs

Where midcentury glamour meets the Sonoran desert sky — a curated guide to the places worth every mile.

"In Palm Springs, every sunset is a small masterpiece the desert paints for free."

Palm Springs has always attracted a certain kind of dreamer — Hollywood stars, architects, artists. Today, it still radiates that particular desert magic: crystalline skies, pink mountains at dusk, and a pace that insists you slow down. This is our tightly edited guide — only what's genuinely worth your time.

01

Dining

Palm Springs has quietly become a serious food city. Patio dining is practically a religion — look for spots that let the mountains be your backdrop.
