Inside Palm Springs offers an exclusive glimpse into a selection of spectacular homes—spanning the 1920s to mid-century modern to contemporary—featuring striking photography and expert insights into this iconic desert resort.
Welcome to Palm Springs, where Frank Sinatra still plays in every restaurant and vintage Cadillacs still roll down every street. This stunning one-of-a-kind volume offers an exclusive look at some of the most iconic homes in the city where mid-century modern architecture thrives and the legacy of Hollywood glamour meets contemporary design.
Inside Palm Springs grants VIP access to this vibrant world, showcasing everything from classic modernist landmarks to fresh, cutting-edge homes that carry on the mid-century tradition. Peter Haldeman's text introduces a diverse array of residents, from collectors of 1970s Brazilian furniture and queer contemporary art to minimalists embracing clean, glass-walled spaces and families who've vacationed here for generations.
The book features beautiful photography by Don Flood, whose images capture the true essence of Palm Springs, from its lush desert gardens to its 40,000 swimming pools—one for every resident. With insider views of members-only country clubs and private homes, some never open to the public, this book presents an unparalleled view of a destination that continues to define cool.

"Expensive laughter ripples across a pristine pool beneath the San Jacinto mountains. Big-haired society hostesses sip mai-tais to the strains of Sinatra. Getting Inside Palm Springs feels like stepping into the world of 1960s photographer Slim Aarons, whose quarry was ‘attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places’..."
