El Mirador, The Hotel, And The History

Known originally as to Bel Desierto neighborhood, El Mirador has quite a history. The story of El Mirador begins on New Years Eve in 1928. It was the grand opening of El Mirador Hotel, one of the grandest, most fashionable resorts in town. In fact, Hollywood celebrities and business tycoons were on hand to celebrate the new hotel. With 165 rooms, an Olympic-size swimming pool with five diving boards, and an underwater window, it was a palace of splendor. Although it remained a glamorous desert getaway for years, thriving even throughout the Great Depression, El Mirador Hotel eventually closed. The buildings were sold to, the Desert Regional Medical Center which still stands today. The main hotel and tower would remain standing until July 1989. Because the original El Mirador Tower was an important Palm Springs landmark, in 1991 a new tower was constructed based on the original plans.
