For Rent: Frank Sinatra's Twin Palms Estate

Sure, it's not Saint Louis, but I couldn't resist posting when I ran across this. Frank Sinatra's estate is For Rent for a cool $2,600 per night.



Designed in 1947 by Stewart Williams for Frank Sinatra and his first wife, Nancy Barbato, Twin Palms is a spectacular example of mid-century contemporary architecture in the heart of Palm Springs’ Movie Colony community. Features include exquisite period furnishings and infamous piano-shaped swimming pool. Located just around the corner from residences once owned by Al Jolson, Jack Benny and Cary Grant, this vacation rental estate boasts both luxury and historical significance.

-Four bedrooms each with private bath
-Fourth Bedroom also doubles as a Media Room with twin day-beds and a private bath
-Pool house with bar, kitchenette, and his and her bathrooms
-Sinatra’s original state-of-the-art sound system still in place, although not connected for use
-Massive sliding glass doors open onto expansive patio, incorporating cabana and piano-shaped swimming pool
-Furnishings exact to the period, including pieces designed by Knoll, Vladimir Kagan, T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings, and Paul Laszlo spread throughout the estate among important works of art, pottery, and textiles

While I am sure it would be quite the treat to stay there, if I had $2,600 a night to blow, I am sure I could think of a lot of other things to spend that money on!
