...thankfully there has also been wonderful preservation. Last year, Palm Springs' Riviera Hotel, psriviera.com, once the retreat of Sinatra's Rat Pack and other stars, reopened after a stunning multimillion-dollar renovation. The Ace Hotel, acehotel.com, an energetically revamped motel, also reopened in 2009 and has become one of Palm Springs' trendier hangouts. If chilling out by its poolside on Sunday afternoons to the sounds of a DJ counts as architectural tourism, you can be sure the pastime will have plenty of takers...

The produce of its steeply terraced herb-and-wildflower garden and a citrus grove make a huge impact in the kitchen. "I believe vivid improvisation is key," says Colagreco, who adds new dishes daily according to whatever's ripe...
...city has made strides since its devastating race riots in 1967 - there's a sparkling-new downtown arena, some bright residential complexes, the gestation of a hipster scene.
