This escape offers a taste of Palm Springs history, as it was designed by Donald Wexler, the architect behind some of the most enduring midcentury designs in the area. With healthy helpings of metal accessories and a mod acrylic bubble chair hanging in the living room, this three-bedroom space is an updated throwback to the region’s heyday. Finally, what Palm Springs vacation is complete without a kidney-shaped pool? With a hot tub and a firepit with views of the surrounding mountains, and this property is the whole package.

After pulling up to what appears to be a modest ranch home, you’ll be amazed at the light-filled post-and-beam confection that this Hollywood Hills house becomes once you step inside. Offering two bedrooms (though the second one is a multifunction space with a fold-out bed), this fashion designer-owned space is all about understated glamour, with a floor-to-ceiling fireplace and sumptuous furs on every sofa. A spacious outdoor deck looks out onto the treetops of nearby Runyon Canyon.
