Recommendations
BEST TIME OF YEAR: Palm Springs is a wonderful place to visit during winter, spring and fall months. Summer is considered the “offseason” as temperatures reach triple digits, and many local businesses close their doors
Palm Springs has long been a hit with weekenders from LA, but now - with a spanking new design district and booming hotel scene - the desert city is hotter than ever before.
