Twin Palms In Palm Springs

March 10, 2010 Architecture By Tom Ran
Twin Palms aka the Sinatra House today

Photo: Twin Palms

One need not be a Sinatra fan to appreciate the singer’s former home in Palm Springs. Built in 1947 and designed by E. Stewart Williams, the Twin Palms is no Graceland. Instead, it is a landmark steeped in modern architecture history that influence the designs of many houses that followed. Through two tumultuous relationships, Sinatra would live in Twin Palms for seven years before selling it. The five decades following his departure, the house fell into numerous hands and eventually neglected until three enterprising New Yorkers decided to renovate the home. Twin Palms is now available to rent for a mere $2600 a night. The house sleeps eight, so we were about to suggest you rent it for the weekend of Coachella, however it appears that someone already beat you to it.
