Twin Palms Frank Sinatra Estate
Twin Palms is a residential house built in the late 1940s in Palm Springs featuring modernist architecture typical of that era. The estate includes four bedrooms, multiple bathrooms, and a distinctive piano-shaped pool surrounded by large windows offering views of the desert landscape and gardens.
The house was designed in 1947 by architect E. Stewart Williams and was completed in time for a Christmas party that same year. The modernist style of the building helped establish the desert modern architectural movement that would define Palm Springs for decades to come.
The estate takes its name from two prominent palm trees at the front, which became a symbol of the house. These trees connect the architecture to the desert landscape of Palm Springs and remain central to how people recognize and remember the place.
The estate is not open to the public on a daily basis but is available mainly through special guided tours and events. Visitors should check in advance when tours are available, as access is limited to scheduled times.
The estate features a famous piano-shaped pool and once had a flag system between the two palm trees to invite guests for cocktail hour. These distinctive details make the house a recognizable and memorable part of design and entertainment history.
