Biggest Stars on Palm Springs Walk of Stars!

Let’s face it; from Elizabeth Taylor to the King of Rock and Roll - no blog post can cover the multitudes of stars featured in the world-famous Walk of Stars. As our limousines transport international vacationers in Palm Springs on a regular basis, we want to present a short glimpse of the most influential celebs recognized on the city’s own walk of fame.

The walk, situated in Downtown, stretches from the main street (Palm Canyon Dr.) to adjacent streets. Beginning in 1992, the famed sidewalk now brags over 334 individual Golden Palm Stars. Elected government officials, movie producers, musicians, actors, and actresses are all represented. And for the criteria? People commemorated must have lived in Coachella Valley in areas surrounding Palm Springs.

One of Coachella Valley’s truly iconic landmarks, limo services are daily dropping off and picking up clients from these legendary sidewalks. Many stars are conveniently located on the main street of Palm Canyon Drive and in close proximity to some of the region’s best shopping, dining, and lodging.

TOP CELEBRITY STARS

5. Bob Hope

Lending his name to a Los Angeles airport and having acted in over seventy movies, Bob Hope certainly deserves recognition. Not to mention his thousands of honor awards and more than 50 honorary doctorates from various universities worldwide. Why Hope decided to buy an estate here in the 1970s may not be a surprise. Hope namely joined a number of stars who made Coachella Valley their desert escape, including Shirley Temple, Frank Sinatra, Gene Autry, and others. A local golf tournament was already known as “Bob Hope Desert Classic” in 1965, and we all know Coachella Valley is world known for its exceptional golf. As an example, neighboring La Quinta has often been “Rated one of the best golfing destinations in America.”

4. Marilyn Monroe

One of Hollywood’s most beloved and notable stars, Marilyn Monroe was America’s favorite blonde for much of the 50s and also the highest-paid actress featured in a variety of Hollywood films. Long embraced with her own 26 ft. statue downtown, Monroe became a Palm Springs local and owned a mansion in the city where also much of her career began. Spending much time here in the 50s and 60s, she is said to have started her career when meeting Hollywood talent agent Hyde here in 1949.

3. Frank- and Nancy Sinatra

Music, show business, acting, and producing. Frank Sinatra remains one of the most prominent entertainers of all time. With over 145 million records sold and appearances in over 50 movies, Sinatra unquestionably belongs on our walk of fame. What brought Sinatra to town? His visits to the valley began already following World War II. As more and more superstars found their vacation houses by the Springs in the desert, Sinatra acquired his first house here in 1947. He would often visit Dean Martin’s house in Monte Vista, and he is buried in Cathedral City. He attended a Catholic Church in La Quinta, and also owned a mansion on Frank Sinatra Drive in Rancho Mirage.

2. Elvis Presley

The king of all kings. Or simply, The King. Having sold over one billion records and appeared in 30+ motion pictures; Elvis has arguably the most noteworthy, remarkable, and deserving bronze star. Although Graceland in Tennessee was Presley’s true home, the king owned vacation homes, and estates throughout the country. And in Palm Springs is where the king found his dream Honeymoon Hideaway, where the king rented a house for a year in the late 60s. While Priscilla and Elvis got married in Las Vegas in May of 1967, they spent that same night in their leased Honeymoon Hideaway. What brought the Presleys out here? After a visit to his manager who resided there, Elvis realized Coachella Valley was an ideal place to spend time with his wife. Overflowed with celebrities, Elvis could even take Priscilla out for dining or shopping without being bothered by clingy reporters and photographers.

1. Presidents

Few cities in the U.S. can brag a higher number of presidents as residents. Taking our population into consideration, we are very lucky to have had three commanders in chiefs commemorated. Dwight Eisenhower was a passionate golfer, and like President Obama, often returned to Coachella Valley for desert golfing. Gerald Ford, who purchased a Rancho Mirage home in 1976, is also honored with a star, along with his wife Betty Ford. The couple remained in Coachella Valley until the president’s passing on December 26, 2006, in Rancho Mirage. The third, and for the time being, the last president honored, is Ronald Reagan who owned an estate in the Old Las Palms district. Although not honored with stars, presidents Nixon, Clinton, Bush and Obama have vacationed in Greater Palm Springs.

Many limo renters may be surprised by how many movies were filmed in Desert Hot Springs. Did you for example know that a helicopter scene from Mission Impossible III (2006) was filmed by nearby wind turbines? While movie filming in Desert Hot Springs already began in the 1930s at the Circle B Guest Ranch on 20th Street, the city has become a more popular filming location in recent years.

4. Untouched Wilderness

With its breathtaking desert climate and surrounding mountains, Desert Hot Springs is bordering incredible natural preserves such as Joshua Tree National Park to the east and Big Morongo Canyon Preserve to the north. We’ve even had airport transfers with international tourists landing at Ontario Airport and heading to explore the national park by limousines. Although not as popular for limo rides, there are several impressive hiking trails within city limits, most notably the Swiss Canyon Trail and the city loop. A connector for various trails is Cabot’s Pueblo Museum, a local Hopi Native-American museum. 

Desert Hot Springs Loop is a 1.1-mile loop that offers magnificent views of the surrounding San Jacinto Mountains, cities, and untouched parts of the Low Colorado Desert. The trail loop usually takes about an hour and is an easy hike well worth your time. Remember to bring a camera and tons of water! Swiss Canyon Trail is a 2.1-mile hike with gorgeous views of Palm Springs, sand rock formations, San Gorgonio Pass, Colorado Desert wilderness, and panoramic views of the San Jacinto Mountains and the City of Palm Springs. Swiss Canyon Trail takes a little more effort, but the views and natural solitude are well worth the hike. The train usually takes about two hours and has an elevation gain of 800 feet. The easier before-mentioned Desert Hot Springs Loop has a lower elevation gain of 200 feet.

The trailhead is located on Verbena Road, a little north of Yucca Street, on the eastern side of Verbena Rd. Coordinates: 33°58'21.7"N 116°29’33.8"W. For an easier loop, park along Verbena Rd. and begin your journey on the sandy trail on the east side of the road. Approximately halfway, after 0.5 miles, turn right and follow the path for 0.3 miles. Start your way back by descending into the canyon and follow the loop as it turns back into the main dirt road.

Joshua Tree National Park is a 30-45 minute drive from Desert Hot Springs, a park visited by over 1.5 million people per year and one of Southern California’s most visited national parks.

5. Abundant Wildlife

Being an epicenter of the Mojave-, Sonoran- and Colorado Deserts, wildlife here is unique and thriving.

You might just see a Desert Bighorn Sheep climbing the mountainside, an adorable Kit Fox, or one of the half-a-dozen snake species that can be found here. As many as eleven species of rattlesnake can be found in the nearby deserts, more than in any other place on Earth.

Prefer a shorter trip to Joshua Tree National Park? Desert Hot Springs borders Big Morongo Canyon Preserve to the north, yet another protected nature area. At this 30,000+ acre, you can experience a jewel of the Mojave Desert. An important bird sanctuary, more than 250 species of bird can be found in this wildlife preserve. It is situated in the Little San Bernardino Mountains and is a crucial riparian- and avian zone and habitat in the Colorado Desert. It is a natural oasis and entry here is free of charge. Some of the animals commonly observed here include an array of bird species and large numbers of Ring-Tailed Cats and as a result of being located in the mountains, also a larger population of Desert Big Horn Sheep have been observed by limousine customers here.

Oases are great places to look for wildlife, including Joshua Tree National Park and Big Morongo Canyon Preserve. Mammals, eagles, hawks, falcons, and other animals are present throughout the year.

The outdoorsy types may consider tent camping to increase their chances of seeing wildlife. There are various campgrounds in Joshua Tree National Park, but you can also bring a tent and camp at Sam’s Family Spa Hot Water Resort or Desert Springs RV Park in town.

(San Gorgonio Pass Windfarm)

Palm Springs became early a Hollywood celebrity’s favorite resort town with its own Palm Springs International Airport, and consequentially, many early movies were made here. As previously mentioned, the first movie to ever be filmed here was Lone Star Rush (1918), and many movies soon followed. Some examples include Salomé (1918), the Lone Star Ranger (1919), the Orphan (1920), the Leopard Woman (1920), the Covered Wagon (1922), Desert Gold (1926), and many more. Italian-American actor Rudolph Valentino played in numerous films here, including The Sheikh (1921) and later The Son of the Sheikh (1926). As these stories took place in the North African Saharan desert, the producers looked for a similar climate and geology and decided on filming the movies in the Palm Springs deserts. The same was the case for numerous movies to follow, due to the early opened airport. Some of these include A Night in Casablanca (1946) and Sahara (1943). 

A film that won four Oscars, Rain Man (1988), has numerous scenes filmed in the area. The shop where Tom Cruise puts sunscreen on Dustin Hoffman’s nose is in Windy Point on Highway 111. This convenience store is located at 60490 Overture Dr in Palm Springs and is a popular limo service or party bus destination for people who love the film! The windmills by the highway are also featured in the movie and can be a cool stop for limo or party bus rentals. Many tourists and locals enjoy seeing where scenes from Lethal Weapon 2 (1989) and American Gigolo (1980) were filmed. We recently had international tourists flying in and using our airport transfers to see the Rheiman’s home from American Gigolo, which is located at 2389 Yosemite. Another popular place includes the Cliffhouse restaurant in La Quinta featured in City of Industry (1997), located at 78250 Highway 111. The La Quinta Resort Hotel was used for several scenes in Hart To Hart (1979-1984) and is therefore also a trending destination for limousine and party bus rental.

Even more TV series have used Palm Springs as a filming spot. The city has been featured in everything from the Real L Word (in 2010), Real Housewives of Orange County (2010 and 2011), Amazing Race (2011), Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (2006), Cops (2006 and 2007), the O.C. (2004), Mad Men (2008), the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1990), and many, many more. Many actors in these have used local limousine services. 

I Love Lucy has for example many episodes filmed here in the ’50s including episode 26 of season 4 from 1955. Whether to go on a cinematic tour to your favorite filming locations, rentals, transfer to the airport, or just for a luxurious day or night out in Palm Springs, call us for an unforgettable Palm Springs limo service experience in Southern California!

Why we love the Coachella Valley

Bragging over 100,000 additional residents during the winter months, the Coachella Valley has become one of California’s most prominent resort communities. Nicknamed “America’s Resort City”, “the Golf Capital of the World” “Playground of the Stars,” and “Hollywood’s Waiting Room for Heaven” — We have many names for the things we love. Let us present to you why we love offering party buses, airport transfers, and limo services in the great City of Palm Springs!

1) Some of California’s Best Restaurants.

The beautiful view from Peaks Restaurant in
the San Jacinto Mountains

Being the home of about 350,000 residents, the valley hosts over 2  million people per year, and consequentially has a restaurant scene that outdoes any city of equivalent size. No mention of restaurants here can overlook Peaks Restaurant, situated on Mount San Jacinto, with an elevation of 8,500 feet, located at 1 Tramway Road. Not only does Peaks Restaurant boast some of SoCal’s best panoramic views, but the tram ride up in the gorgeous San Jacinto Mountains is an experience in itself and a popular tourist destination for our clients. 

But boasting over 200 restaurants, the city has a lot more restaurants worth a visit! For instance, do you prefer French cuisine? Try Le Vallauris or Pomme Frite! Rather looking for an Italian eatery? Our clients love Lotza Mozza Pizza & Pasta! The city is home to numerous great Mexican eateries, including Las Cusuela and Las Casuela Terraza. Wanna go wine-tasting but not as far as Temecula wine tours? Try tastings at the Spanish wine bar, Tinto at the Saguaro on East Palm Canyon Dr.!

2) Southern California’s Most Scenic Vineyards!

Within such close proximity to the Temecula wine country, Temecula tours are tremendously popular for our clientele in the area. With 83 square miles of wine country in the Temecula Valley AVA, this region has experienced a local wine renaissance in recent years... From being an industry of $131 million in 1999, the Temecula wine industry had more than quadrupled by 2007. Today, there are over fifty tasting venues in the region that are drawing tourists throughout the year for tastings, tours of various wineries, and trips to vineyards. We have even many international tourists using airport sedan service directly from LAX to Temecula for tastings.

3) Greatest SoCal Nightlife?

Despite its relatively low year-round population, the nightlife of the Coachella Valley is well-known to many Californians. In addition to the famous annual Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, there are bars, dance clubs, casinos, and much more resulting in an unmatched nightlife for every night of the year. A popular destination is the Village Pub featuring nightly live entertainment, as well as the Atlas Night Club, one of the city's most prominent dance clubs. Other popular bars and clubs include Street Bar Named Desire, the Lobby Bar at the Wyndham, the Reef Tiki Bar at the Caliente Tropic Resort, Badlands, and Heaven. In nearby Indio is where we find one of the region’s best casinos, the Fantasy Springs Casino on Indio Springs Parkway, while another much-visited casino is the Augustine Casino in Coachella.

4) Endless Shopping Opportunities

With its easily walkable Downtown Strip, shopping in Palm Springs can be a breeze compared to most other cities. Most of the shopping is concentrated on Palm Canyon Drive, in an area named the Village stretching from Amado- to Baristo Streets. But the Village is far from the only place boasting great shopping in the valley. El Paseo in the nearby Palm Desert has often been compared to areas such as Beverly Hills’ Rodeo Drive with its many fine boutiques and specialty shops. In fact, there are over 300 stores located in El Paseo that guarantees great shopping for everyone. Looking for a laid-back outdoor marketplace? Head to Old Town La Quinta! Looking for shopping in Indio? Try the Indio Fashion Mall on Monroe Street or the Indio Open Air Market on Arabia Street!

And from great resorts and hotels, the Living Desert Zoo & Gardens — to the close proximity to some of California’s most visited national park lands, the Coachella Valley has something to offer us all. How about some of the world’s best golfing? After all, you are in the golf capital of the world!
