Star Gazing in Palm Springs

Star light, star bright, the first star I see tonight.
— Unknown

 

Since the early days of Hollywood, Palm Springs has always attracted the stars. From Rudolph Valentino, Clara Bow, Sammy Davis Jr. and Frank Sinatra, to today’s A-listers, Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley has been the place for the stars to escape, relax and unwind. And while the stars of Hollywood change over time, there are some stars that seem to shine on forever – twinkling high above in the desert night sky.

Palm Springs is a renowned dark-sky city where street lights are designed to limit light pollution. Many visitors, especially those from big cities, are stunned by nature’s nightly awe-inspiring display. The best view of the stars in Palm Springs might just be our very own Parker Palm Springs. Situated on thirteen private acres at the edge of the desert, we are a destination of choice among Condé Nast Readers and one of the best luxury hotels in Palm Springs.

For those who seek an extra-memorable experience, the best place for stargazing in California is the nearby Joshua Tree National Park. Star-gazing is one of the most popular things to do at Joshua Tree, which is designated as an International Dark Sky Park. Located far from artificial lights and atmospheric pollutants, the stunning “core” of the Milky Way is visible most nights from 10 p.m. to sunrise.

To help you get up close and personal with the stars, Parker Palm Springs has launched an offer that is guaranteed to put a twinkle in your eye. “Space out with the Parker” is our special three-night stay option that comes with everything you need to enjoy nature’s dazzling nighttime display. It includes:

•    One-Bedroom Villa with a private hedgerow enclosed patio
•    A two-hour, private star-gazing experience by Sky Watcher Sky Tours
•    The use of a kit complete with a red flashlight, portable telescope, and an iPad with a SkyView star locator map
•    A celestial themed picnic basket and a bottle of Dom Perignon

Our private estate is the perfect home base for all of your celestial explorations. With three swimming pools, awarding-winning dining and cocktails, and a renowned on-property spa, Parker Palm Springs is the epitome of relaxation and good taste.

A place to dream, savor, and discover, at Parker Palm Springs, you just might find your place among the stars.
