Design tourism, canyon mornings, downtown evenings and a summer that changes how a house has to work. This page is qualitative. It names the drivers and the questions, and leaves the numbers to the Owner Portal.

Demand drivers
Design tourism
Modernism Week – October 2026 runs October 15–18, and its architecture tours run seasonally from October through May, with the current run scheduled to May 29, 2027. Visit Palm Springs notes the city marks its design legacy each February and October.
Canyons and the mountain
Indian Canyons holds one of the largest California fan palm oases in the world. Tahquitz Canyon leads to a seasonal 60-foot waterfall. The Aerial Tramway climbs nearly 6,000 feet into Mt. San Jacinto State Park, where the air is often 30 degrees cooler than downtown.
Downtown and Uptown
VillageFest closes Palm Canyon Drive to traffic every Thursday evening for a street fair. Just north, the Uptown Design District runs along North Palm Canyon Drive from Alejo Road to Vista Chino, full of vintage and design shops, galleries and restaurants.
Culture and wellness
The Palm Springs Art Museum opens free on Thursday evenings. The Agua Caliente Cultural Plaza brings together the Cultural Museum, The Spa at Séc-he and the Oasis Trail. Moorten Botanical Garden has shown desert plants since 1938.
The operating year
Planning context drawn from official destination sources. Not a demand forecast and not a monthly revenue allocation.
The guest: hikers, dining and design visitors, people escaping colder places.
The task: keep event information current, give exact parking and route notes, and make the outdoor space usable in cool evenings.
The guest: festival and patio-season travellers, groups, longer weekends.
The task: confirm every date before you reference it, and send the quiet-conduct rules ahead of arrival. The City permits no outside amplified noise at a rental while it is occupied.
The guest: pool-first stays, families, visitors using the Tramway and indoor culture to escape the afternoon.
The task: cooling, shade and pool readiness checked before every arrival, with an after-hours contact that answers.
The guest: the design calendar restarting around Modernism Week – October, October 15–18, 2026.
The task: refresh photography, outdoor furniture, landscape and arrival instructions before the tour season opens.
Booking-window questions
This page does not publish lead times or rates. It gives you the questions that separate a real pricing plan from a template. Bring them to whoever manages the home.
Stay mix
Short stays
Inside the City, a Contract Summary is required for every guest stay of 28 consecutive days or less, submitted through the online business center, and it cannot be filed retroactively. Every extra booking is also an extra clean, an extra arrival and an extra chance for a noise or parking complaint, so the operating plan has to keep up with the calendar.
Longer stays, where allowed
In unincorporated Riverside County, a short-term rental is defined as less than 30 consecutive calendar days and not less than two consecutive days and one night, so a longer booking sits outside that programme entirely. Eligibility for a 30-plus night stay depends on the parcel, the zoning and the private governing documents. Confirm it in regulation watch before you market one.
Neighborhoods
Movie Colony
A self-guided walking tour from Ruth Hardy Park, and a housing stock that runs from 1920s estates to midcentury homes.

Visit Palm Springs states the city celebrates Modernism Week each February and October. Modernism Week publishes its fall edition as October 15 to 18, 2026, and runs its architecture tours seasonally from October through May, with the current schedule listed as October 15, 2026 to May 29, 2027. Confirm individual dates on the official calendars before you build a guest message around one.
It changes the stay rather than ending it. Visit Palm Springs points guests toward indoor culture, water attractions and the Aerial Tramway, whose Mountain Station is often 30 degrees cooler than downtown. The practical consequence for an owner is that cooling, shade and pool readiness become the whole product, and an after-hours contact matters more than an itinerary.
Because a city-wide figure would say nothing reliable about one address. This public site does not publish occupancy, average daily rate, RevPAR or revenue. Property-specific results are handled in the Owner Portal under its own permissions.
Inside the City, a Contract Summary is required for each guest stay of 28 consecutive days or less and cannot be submitted retroactively. In unincorporated Riverside County, the short-term rental programme covers stays of less than 30 consecutive calendar days, so a longer booking falls outside it. Whether a 30-plus night stay is permitted at a given address depends on the parcel, the zoning and the private governing documents.
