- The Twin Palms Estate | The Twin Palms Art House
learn about: the twin palms estates The Twin Palms Estates The ultimate mid-century modern neighborhood Below you can learn about some key moments in the fascinating history of The Twin Palms Estates neighborhood, soon to be your Palm Springs home base. Any history of this part of the world, however brief, should start by acknowledging the traditional custodians of the land on which Twin Palms and wider Palm Springs sits, the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians whose ancestors and current members we at the TPAH acknowledge and respect. And in that is our first recommendation - less than five minutes drive in either direction from the TPAH sit the Indian and Tahquitz Canyons and their surrounding systems. Both are wonderfully managed by the Agua Caliente and well worth a visit. And sticking with this theme, another recommendation is to take the time to visit the new and rather beautiful Agua Caliente Cultural Museum in downtown Palm Springs (and while you there why not spoil yourself with a some time in a restorative halotherapy salt cave at The Spa at Séc-he, it's a stunner). You can see our Top 10 Palm Springs recommendations elsewhere in this House Guide. If you want to learn more about the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians click the button below. Recognizing the original First Nations owners MORE ON THE LOCAL AGUA CALIENTE INDIAN TRIBE NEXT BACK TO TOP The land upon which the Twin Palms Art House sits is freehold land that was carved out of the original Smoke Tree Ranch, a high-end Western themed getaway “camp”. Amazingly you can still stay at Smoke Tree Ranch but you better be ready for some serious old school house rules. Learn more here including about the associated group known as "the Colony" (which also still exists) and the not-to-be City of Palmdale which was originally begun and was planned to cover all of what is now South Palm Springs As the land was separated from the Ranch its existing development regulations came along with it meaning the whole Twin Palms neighborhood inherited a 1930s planning rule limiting structures to single story, which still applies today. But it really wasn’t until the 1950s that several key players saw the potential for a unique tract development to be called Twin Palms or Twin Palms Estates. The arrival of the 20th century You can still see this sign today Exact location of The Twin Palms Art House is marked NEXT PREVIOUS BACK TO TOP Listen to the man himself The extraordinary team of Krisel & Alexander The show had certainly began for Twin Palms and Palm Springs more widely The story of Twin Palms is the story of its principle architect, William Krisel , who only passed away less than a decade ago in 2017. Designed in the mid-1950s ands build between 1957 and 1959, Twin Palms, or more accurately Twin Palms Estates was Coachella Valley’s first Alexander Construction Company subdivision. (To read more about the amazing impact of the Alexander Construction Company on this area and more widely, including its link to.an infamous JFK/Marilyn Monroe hook-up here in Palm Springs and it's ultimately tragic demise, click the button below.) Originally dubbed Smoke Tree Valley Estates, Twin Palms Estates features homes with a common floor plan but with varying facades, rooflines and plan-rotations on approximate 10,000 square-foot lots, and each home came standard with two palms, leading to the name change to Twin Palms. See picture above for the TPAH's original palms, which are still going strong. These homes embody the quintessential Palm Springs lifestyle – swimming pools, private yards and mountain views. NEXT PREVIOUS BACK TO TOP LEARN MORE ABOUT THE ALEXANDER CONSTRUCTON CO. In all the material we've read on this neighborhood and its connection to this extraordinary man, none summarizes the history and the true extent of what happened here in little Twin Palms better than an article published in late 2023 by SF GATE . To give you the best chance of taking this all in we've had an AI read it out for you (you are on a break after all!). Just click on the button below to link to the audio file and give it a listen. We hope you enjoy learning about this unique neighborhood and its role the building of modern America as much as we have. And it must be said this style of tract development has influenced planners and tastes across the Western world, including in places as far away as Australia and Norway.

Several dedicated residents have played a key role in making sure the original heroes of this tale - the architect William Krisel in particular, but also George and Bob Alexander, the developers of the land here in South Palm Springs - are being recognized. At the TPAH we are forever grateful to those locals who really drove this forward with such passion, we are all in their debt. And in recent years the wider world has comprehensively cottoned-on to this gem with Twin Palms being declared variously cool, a unique global first and irreplaceable - but we'll let others, less biased than us, elaborate on all that.

Just walk out the door, go left or go right and you're sorted. Honestly spend a few hours just wandering Twin Palms. You will sweat and you won't regret it one little bit. And when (or if) you're keen to go further afield a self-guided tour is your best bet and there obviously free to do and available all year round (and let's be honest, it's a really gonna be a self-air-conditioned car guided driving tour, right?).

- Pre-Briefing Explainer | The Twin Palms Art House
The Twin Palms Ar t House PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA your palm springs home base, always Good Neighbor Policy: An explainer Listen to this page Overview Welcome to the self-service 'explainer' for the Pre-Stay Briefing on the Palm Springs Good Neighbor policy as mandated by the City of Palm Springs and delivered by The Twin Palms Art House. A set of Good Neighbor regulations Our local government has put in place a set of clear community rules that apply to all guests and hosts of short-term vacation rentals. We recommend you read or listen to all three of the tabs below before your upcoming pre-stay briefing. Please also note that after the briefing the City requires all guests to attest to having participated and you'll be directed to an online way to quickly do that. We greatly appreciate your participation and understanding. Want more detail? The local standard of good neighborliness The standards - known as the Good Neighbor Policy - set out our local communities agreed standard of behavior, that is what we see as good neighborliness in Palm Springs. Below is the full version of the policy as issued by the City. Note that a summary of this also appears in the house guide. Mandated in-person briefing The regulations require that hosts not only share a copy of these documents with guests but also provide a short briefing on what they mean and that all guests 18 years of age and above must attend. Unfortunately this briefing cannot be in the form of a pre-recorded video and must occur no sooner than the 24-hours before a booking commences. We undertake a short video conference using Google Meets the day prior to your arrival to get this done but can be flexible in terms of timing and the availability of a second round briefing to accommodate things like travel schedules so we can ensure all guests are covered. No special software is needed for a Google Meets call, just an internet connection and any browser. We would expect the session to take no longer than five (5) minutes of your time and ask that you work with your party to land on an agreeable time slot in the provided three hour window (4-7pm) on the day before your arrival and then use the booking tool below to lock that in. Mandated signed statement attesting attendance Following the briefing attendees must sign a Statement of Rules and Regulations attesting that they did indeed receive the briefing. This statement is a document created and required by Palm Springs City. You will be given a password to an attestation form that will take no longer than about 20-30 seconds to complete. Once that is done we will have reached the end of the regulatory process and we can all refocus on making sure you have a fabulous stay in Palm Springs. City brochure
