The ruins of the historic Palm Springs Racquet Club are just on the other side of the fence.

If you were looking for a place in the 1940s and 50s to escape to that was filled with sunshine and ideal weather, swimming pools, sports, and movie stars: the Racquet Club in Palm Springs was the place to be. First opened in 1934 by Hollywood actors Ralph Bellamy and Charles Farrell, for the next 30 years the Racquet Club would serve as an oasis for movie stars. Originally built with just two tennis courts, the Club grew to hold one of the most popular swimming pools in Palm Springs and the local legendary bar called the "Bamboo Room." Stars such as Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy, Dinah Shore, and Marilyn Monroe could often be spotted by the pool or enjoying a round of tennis. Beginning in the 1970s after the glory days of Hollywood had come to an end, the Racquet Club suffered a decline, which was only worsened by a fire in 2014. All that remains are the ruins reflecting the ethereal glamour that once existed.

Azure Spring Villa is just located 6 minutes from downtown Palm Springs, 45 minutes from the gates of Joshua Tree National Walk and just two blocks away from Palm Springs Aerial Tramway.

2 cars can park in the garage, 3 on the driveway, and the 6th car can park along the hedges next to the garage.
