Getting there

Planes, trains, automobiles, or maybe even helicopter – we tell you the best way to go.

Planes

There is an international airport at Palm Springs (www.palmspringsairport.com) | but many of the airlines that fly there are domestic; you’ll probably arrive at Los Angeles airport (LAX) | 100 miles east of the city.

Trains

Amtrak (www.amtrak.com) connects Palm Springs to other US cities. There are two railway stations, Bakersfield being the best one for connections to LA.

Automobiles

Like most US cities | you’ll need a car if you want to explore any further than the hotel boundaries – not least for the air-conditioning. Alternatively | you could hire yourself a Harley (www.eaglerider.com).
