“The Howard, Palm Springs: Where a historical celebrity hideaway, meets 21st century modern luxury.
Step into Howard Hughes’ penultimate Palm Springs experience. Cliffside in Araby Cove, this is the best of all worlds.
A visual vista that will win your heart and soul, and have you dreaming of your next stay in our historical desert paradise.
No expense has been spared for our guests - from the brand new pool+jacuzzi on 3 outdoor deck levels, to the new al fresco chefs kitchen , to the glamorous gas firepit and intimate chill out zones. The pool is even a modern iteration of Howard’s original pool!
Did we forget to mention the Indoor to outdoor new Terrazzo flooring? Or the new 70-inch digital 4-D television and audio soundbar? Come and experience the 5-diamond California desert lifestyle, at The Howard Palm Springs.
The current owner is just second in line from Howard Hughes himself since he built it in 1957.
From 2019-2023 he undertook a massive renovation and restoration project and brought the property into the 21st century with luxurious updates and additions. The exterior now boasts a modern resort like experience.
Being a history enthusiast, it was very important to the owner to keep as much of the original essence of this beautiful and unique midcentury home. The pool and patio were redone to follow the same shapes, curvatures and lines that the original exterior had had, while completely updating and modernizing all of the hardscape with luxury outdoor kitchen, firepit and furnishings. The owner also went to great lengths to restore and refresh all of the home’s interior original qualities. You will notice many of these vintage features throughout the house, in particular the bathrooms, kitchen, patio sliding doors and beautiful brick walls. And one of the most special features being the custom made propeller shaped brass light switches that Howard Hughes had made to be put on the floor so that he would not have to touch light switches due to his germophobia. Though they are for decoration only (still in their original places), these also have been also been painstakingly and passionately restored by the owner, giving a very tangible feel of Howard Hughes’ presence in this house.
The current owner's dedication to preserving the house has been widely acknowledged by prominent figures in Palm Springs, earning him several prestigious awards and recognitions. Here are a few highlights:
- **The Residential Restoration Award from PSModCom**: This esteemed award was presented at The Annenberg Theater at the Palm Springs Art Museum, celebrating the meticulous restoration efforts.
- **Feature in Palm Springs Life Magazine**: The house and its remarkable story were showcased in a 4-page spread in the October 2024 issue, capturing the attention of readers and architecture enthusiasts.
- **Inclusion in the "Iconic Homes" Tour**: During Modernism Week, the house was featured in the "Iconic Homes" tour, allowing visitors to appreciate its historical and architectural significance firsthand.
- **Record-Breaking Sales During Modernism Week**: The house set a new record for ticket and cocktail party sales, marking the fastest sell-out in PSModCom's history and highlighting the home's immense popularity and appeal.
