Area overview

What El Mirador is like

El Mirador developed around the grand hotel that helped draw Hollywood visitors to Palm Springs in the 1920s. The hotel is gone, but its tower remains part of Desert Regional Medical Center and continues to mark a neighborhood of established homes and resort-era history.
