Swanky midcentury condo at the famed Ocotillo Lodge — a true piece of Palm Springs history! Designed by Palmer & Krisel in 1956, built by the Alexanders, and landscaped by Eckbo, this iconic community represents the who’s who of Mid Mod architecture. With panoramic mountain views, the legendary keyhole-shaped swimming pool, a billiards room, clubhouse with gym, and a stylish 1BR/1BA condo, this historic destination is all about enjoying life in the Palm Springs sunshine. Bed: K.
Located directly on Palm Canyon Drive at the edge of Twin Palms and Indian Canyons, this is quintessential city living in a storied Palm Springs enclave. Perfect for travelers who love convenience, walkability, and the high energy of being center-stage in the Palm Springs scene. For decades, Ocotillo Lodge has been beloved by Modernism fans seeking an authentic midcentury pied-à-terre in an architecturally significant community.
CELEBRITY PEDIGREE
Originally built in 1956/57 on nearly seven prime acres, the Ocotillo Lodge was later acquired by actor and entertainer Gene Autry in 1963. Its champagne cork-shaped pool and classic desert-modernism style have hosted an impressive celebrity roster over the years — including Lucille Ball, Marilyn Monroe, Dean Martin, George Burns, Gracie Allen, and Frank Sinatra.
OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES
The resort-style pool is massive, complemented by multiple spas, a clubhouse with gym and billiards, and incredible views of the San Jacinto mountains. Guests can mix and mingle with a friendly blend of full-time, short-term, and seasonal residents. The condo’s semi-private patio is a serene spot for morning coffee or an evening cocktail.
INDOOR LIVING SPACES
This condo blends the sophistication of nostalgic Palm Springs with fresh modern comfort. The kitchen, living, and dining areas flow together seamlessly. Sliding glass doors fill the space with natural light and open to the patio with outdoor dining, BBQ, and mountain views. Mid Mod–inspired furnishings include a convertible twin pull-out couch. An in-unit washer and dryer — a rare find.
SLEEPING QUARTERS
The inviting Primary Suite includes a hotel-quality Queen bed, flatscreen TV, ample storage, clerestory windows framing swaying palms, and easy access to the updated bathroom. bathroom.
THE LOCATION
Centrally located near restaurants, shops, galleries, boutiques, cabarets, the casino, and the Convention Center — all along our world-famous Palm Canyon Drive. You’re less than a mile from the South Palm Springs Business District, home to iconic hot spots like The Purple Room, Koffi, Elmer’s, Dead or Alive Wine Bar, Mr. Lyons, Marisol, and Kreem. Grocery stores, coffee shops, and neighborhood conveniences are all an easy walk from your door.
