Monument Peak Panorama
One of my favorite places at the Mission Inn is a bit hard to find. It's near the back of the property where there's a several story open atrium with a gorgeous spiral staircase that seems to float in mid-air. It's absolutely stunning to see in person.

Great property, love the views, the pool, easy parking. So convenient to downtown Palm Springs with all the dining and shops. Can stroll down quiet streets of the movie colony checking out homes of movie stars of the past. Really feel part of the ‘old Palm Springs vibe.’
