Palm Springs: Mid-Century Modern and Mountain Magic
Palm Springs isn’t just a destination — it’s a feeling. During this three-night escape for two you'll explore Palm Springs’ legendary mid-century modern architecture — a style born from the desert itself. On your guided tour, you’ll discover the vision of iconic architects like William Cody, Albert Frey, Hugh Kaptur, William Krisel, Donald Wexler, and E. Stewart Williams, whose bold lines, glass walls, and indoor-outdoor living concepts redefined modern design.
Then take an Aerial Tramway experience to the San Jacinto Mountains. At the summit, nearly 8,500 feet above sea level, cool mountain air replaces desert warmth. Wander scenic trails, take in breathtaking overlooks, or simply pause and soak in the stillness.
Package includes a 3-night stay in a Classic King Room at HOTEL PASEO, a modern boutique retreat where style, comfort, and location come together seamlessly. Set along the iconic El Paseo — often called the “Rodeo Drive of the Desert” — the hotel places you steps from upscale shopping, art galleries, acclaimed dining, and vibrant nightlife.

Continuing south through the surreal limestone landscapes and caves of the Burren, you'll arrive in picturesque Killarney.
The trip culminates in a tour through the Gap of Dunloe by traditional horse-drawn jaunting cart, followed by a boat ride across the Lakes of Killarney past ancient monastic ruins and historic Ross Castle.
