Twin Palms Estate

As a Palm Springs based certified wedding planner/​coordinator
I am often asked about estate homes with an authentic movie star connection. Twin Palms is just that and a wonderful property at which to stage a medium sized wedding.

So it turns out that Mr. Sinatra had this house built in 1948, and he lived here off and on with daughter and son for a time. The bigger compound where all the kennedy people hung out is down the street, but this is a very cool Palm Springs Modern house with a piano-​shaped pool and substantial outdoor entertaining space. There is also a late-​50s hi fi system with a transcribing turntable, a stack of vinyl and a dvd system with Sinatra movies on large screen. You can and should rent this baby as a vacation house for a few days. Thoroughly cool, even if you’re more of a jazz person than a sinatra person.

Ahhhh its Coachella season (MYChristmas) which I can’t go this year, the lineup sucks anyways. I miss how Coachella used to be before it was all Top 40 acts. I’ll never forget when Paul McCartney played that 4 ½ hour set, I was brought to tears hahaha. Coachella 4+ years ago was «the good years» but anyway, moving right along, I was just reminiscing about my time at the Twin Palms during Coachella and I thought I should Unilocal about it bc its just amazing. My friends and I rented this house for CoacheLLAAA ellaaaa weekend 2011. We usually stay at the Riviera or rent a condo somewhere on the golf course for Coachella, so we decided to stay at the Twin Palms for a change. The house was beautifulll, immaculately clean, and just perfect for a weekend with friends. We sunned, we swam in the incredible salt water pool, we listened to music, we cooked and grilled, we had fun! It was a sanctuary during a hectic festival weekend. There’s even a bonus poolhouse! We all had the most amazing time everrrr! I would rent it again in a heartbeat for a summer pool party maybe this summer, and really can’t recommend it highly enough. Frank Sinatra’s old home is a perfect fun weekend getaway!
