2012: it was a very good year.
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls, of independent means. We’d ride in limousines, and their chauffeurs would drive — all the way to Frank Sinatra’s Twin Palms Estate, which is available to rent right now.
And aside from the throw-back Viking appliances, all of the fixtures and furniture sing of 1960’s swank.
Frank’s recording equipment is there (though inoperable), the pool is shaped like a piano, and there’s still a chip in the sink where he smashed a champaign flute in a fight with Ava Gardner.
Located in the Movie Colony neighborhood not far from downtown Palm Springs, Twin Palms also has a direct line to an off-site concierge managed by Beau Monde (the rental agency), who can schedule golf outings and massages for you and your guests as well as arrange for private chefs.
You’re looking at a three-night minimum that can be booked here, like, now, because the holidays are rapidly approaching.
It’s been a mess of good years.
