Palm Springs is still the Rat Pack's town

- It's been decades since Frank Sinatra and other celebrities turned Palm Springs, California into their playground, to escape the hustle and bustle of Hollywood. In 2016, Palm Springs is still an escape, and one of its mainstays has been the lasting influence of the Rat Pack, as displayed in its modernist, mid-20th century architecture. Margaret Brennan takes a tour.
Was lucky enough to attend a party at the Sinatra house, and boy I tell you what an experience being a huge fan of his and then being in his house wow mind blow so beautiful a memory I will cherish forever.
Was this when he was still alive? Could you share more details?
Oh no I wish it was for a work function for my wife’s job, they rented the house for a night with Frank, Sammy and Dean impersonators, we got to tour the house and just be in that time for the night it was super fun and an experience I will never forget.
It can be rented for one day....my daughter had her wedding there.....GORGEOUS....
How much
@@juliusvlogivas They said $2500/night
Just got back from Palm Springs. While it was below freezing in Utah, it was 70 to 80 degrees. Peaceful and perfect weather !!!
I absolutely love Palm Springs! (October-April).
I enjoyed this video. I’ve always wanted to visit Palm Springs.
I used to work as valet there , making 800 dollars at day, those days are gone.
24,000$ in a month?
Yea right
Palm Springs has the most beautiful airport in the world! Someone needs to do a segment on that!
The architecture makes me interested to visit
Being the MCM fanatic that I am, I would love to visit one day.
I'm going to take a trip there one day. I've always liked the rat pack vibe there .
I will always cherish every trip I've had in Palm Springs. 🌴🌴 🍸🏞🌞🎰🎲🏊♀️🕶🍝🍴🍽🌴🌴
Timeless beauty and quality: the houses and interiors still look chique and fabulous today! It all looks so much more stylish than the LA area....
Humm how did I fall into this rabbit hole, but thanks, for several years we went to The Springs in Feb.
I loved going to Palm Springs had some great times there especially on Palm Canyon Drive , I was stationed at 29 Palms met some very nice people there
Thank you..
To live back in those days...
You can live those days now!
Beautiful place! Wish I could go there.
I'd rent Sinatra's house for a day...Put my iTunes Sinatra collection on infinite loop and drink Jack Daniels all day and night by the pool
Usually there's a minimum rental period of 7 nights with these places. Stating it costs $2,500 a night is slightly misleading.
You’d need to take up smoking too if you really to go for it
I think that's a cool idea. My friend is Italian American & her fam has religiously plays Sinatra while cooking & eating dinner. It really is a vibe. I would love to dedicate a weekend doing that.
Love it!!!
85° weather?!?!? Girl it’s 112° on any given day in summer. It feels like you’re walking into an oven.
Lux Hunsinger America doesn’t believe in global warming. 85 degrees is all she is capable of acknowledging lol
I did a double-take too.
Love this house
Lonely Island for cougars.Anyone need a golf pool boy who can grip it and rip but just happy to hold hands.
OK maybe 85 in the winter. 125 in the summer. Obviously this place could not exist without a/c. Where do they get their water? All around it is bone dust dry for many hundreds of miles in all directions! I am sure this town must have been built when a/c was invented, thats why nothing is older than mid 50's right, and it is all new style, like today's suburbs. I cant imagine this town existing before a/c.. seriously 110-125 all summer, 5 or 6 months of it!
We receive our water from our Aquifer, and the Cahouilla Indians lived here year round.
I always thought that the Frank Sinatra House was in Rancho Mirage. They are two quite different cities. I just moved from PS after 20 years. Left California for Arizona
Left one desert to go to another... Now farther from the ocean.
85 degree weather psss I wish
At this moment, it is 86 degrees F. in PS - in summer it’ll get up to 120 and higher. Definitely AC is needed.
Golfing and Tennis before 11am or after 3pm.... ⛳️🎾 Idk about Palm Springs 😐Melvyn’s is the place to be 😎
Where is Melvyn’s ?
They say that the gays revived the restaurant scene in Palm Springs.
What about the homies from Coachella 💯🇲🇽 like this
Yeah you already know
I wonder if the town of Palm Desert is similar in style but not in prices...maybe a copy of Palm Springs. And, are there springs in P.S.?
No, Palm Desert has a country club vibe and is more expensive.
LOL...85 degree weather? I don't think so! Try 110 + degrees in summer...horrid!
Dodged a Bullet but it’s a dry heat lol
Dodgy... had a home there since 98... not there May through October.... and I doubt Frank was there during the summer either it's the same as Scottsdale
I live in holland europe, and i wish that i was born in LA, because the weather sucks were i live. Here in holland, we are lucky when we get 10 days
with temperatures above 85, and then the summer is al over for us. So no 5 months of good weather, no warm sea or lakes, no swimming pools
in our back yards, because it cost to much to heat the water, and our skin looks like a bottle of milk because we don't see alot of sun here.
Living in california or florida would be a permanent vacation to us.
Agreed FRancis..as a Canadian I say that no one appreciates the weather more than a Canadian or European. Those in the SW often take it for granted. Very hot for several summer months no sweat go outside early/late, otherwise stay in AC or be elsewhere a few months. Otherwise, almost always glorious weather save for occasional winter storms that pass relatively quickly.
@@3DPeter its 120 here in palm springs this week I dont think u wanna live here especially if u work outside
No weight limit............!
Sploosh.......!
Yes I'm sure Frank Sinatras house could tell plenty of stories!😮
Cary Grant loved LSD. I can only imagine what it was like being him. WOW
He was a tortured soul who took LSD over 100x to improve his severely damaged psyche. A horrible childhood and lost many relatives in the Blitz. He was also a closet gay man, who refused to come out, and was married 5 times. LSD won't let you forget those things.
Palm Springs is where the most entitled rich people go treat the workers like trash.
They didn't have the sense to even make the Windows and doors close,cheap. Oh, it's sunny.
Not 85 degrees!! More like 120 degrees in the summer now!! No One like that..
Stole a wallet of mine while I was hitching through there in summertime.
Ugh. "The Rat Pack's town." And the city has barely evolved from that tired old cliché. It's nice for a visit or for someone who doesn't require much from life. But if you're looking for job opportunities, educational opportunities, or exposure to a wide variety of cultures, this is not the place.
We don't suppose you have any specific suggestions for your universe of utopia.
Mark Raymond for some. I live here now as an educator with the best job I’ve ever had making 6 figures to start.
The fans of the rat pack are dying off, but the city hasn't realized it yet. The last thing younger tourists or residents want to see is some 70-year-old with dyed black hair imitating Dean Martin. Even the "oldies" radio station tends to play Sinatra, Peggy Lee or Sammy Davis, Jr. It's as if the Seventies and Eighties didn't exist.
Well said !
But isn't it ok that 70+ year olds listen to their favourite music? If I visited Palm Springs I would like to see living reminders of what it was like in its heyday. At what age do you feel people should give up what they have always loved doing, including listening to their favourite music? You sound ageist and unpleasant.
@Helenaville You think people in their 70's were big fans of Sinatra, Martin, etc? People in their late 80's at the youngest!
The truth is Palm springs belong to a man named Irv Shapiro... He owned n operated all the adult book stores n news stands in the Palm springs area....
I don't think it belonged to him.
hi
News reporters and tourists: Palm Springs is a magical, retro beautiful place
People who actually live here: we in the ghetto, ratatataaaa
Palm Springs is the ghetto. Just head east in the valley and you'll see!
Unless your not bothered by crowds of tourists. Then I don't recommend, living in and around such areas.
Toyota1949 lived here now for 5 years and every year the tourists get more obnoxious.
I've had a place here since 2002 and moved here for the winter warmth when the weather is spectacular. Nothing like sitting in 75 degree weather in February by the pool looking at snow covered mountains towering 10,000 feet above you. I live an easy 25 minute walk from downtown and it is totally peaceful and quiet with no tourists even during high season. The time to avoid or escape is generally July and August which is about the same as living in Florida or Wahington DC where I have lived.
Palm Springs obviously pales in comparison to Palm Beach on the east coast.
Nice video, except hanging out at a crowded hotel with a bunch of strangers doesn't look like fun.
Only if the workers choose to go there to work. There's a great big world, honey pie, and the workers keep voting Republican.
been here since 1960 would not move here today rotten place compaired to the 60-s - down under better lot of people move there LOT LESS CRIME THERE compeared to here to bad for palm-springs big town now BIG headachs to
walter carpenito and now in English.
I do speak English do you?
+Jerry. Learn to read. I understood perfectly what this man wrote.
@@helenaville5939 Good! Now maybe you will translate, compose and punctuate sentences out of that gibberish.
Gay Mecca
the mondernism which is 80 years old….
Maybe in the eightys - early 2000 but now tacky wanna bees
Mid Century Modern is very in style right now
Best house ever if they bulldoze the catholic church. Let Shanad O'Conner drive the bull Dozier.
She defo wanted the Dee
What a nice memorabilia of domestic abuse! Ahhhh
Yeah I heard he had a pretty violent temper
Yes it is but lots of hate here and a lot of races people here to
pelon Martinez unfortunately that's pretty much everywhere.
Lolol Palm springs is GAY ground zero
This place looks horrible. Like living on the moon...
bah humbug
You must be a loser in life
Blue Bird ...I visited recently from England, it was splendid 🙋🏽👍🏽
If you’ve never been, then you don’t get an opinion.
I live in Palm Springs and adore it.
Beautiful, as is the southwest in general. Not everyone understands beauty.
When Trump says "Make America great again" this is what he's talking about. When these buildings were being built it was about being the best, today it's about being "inclusive" and you can't be the best when you include everyone.
I hate that architecture

No one asked why you don’t have taste.
