Mentioned by Palm Springs Life
Desert Hot Springs: Where to Stay
"A hybrid between luxury rental and boutique hotel, this three-part property started with the renovation of a four-unit prototype pad designed and built in 1947 by modernist architect John Lautner. It was developed as part of a planned Desert Hot Springs housing community the brainchild of director Lucien Hubbard, whose silent film Wings won the first Academy Award for Best Picture. When 
plans fell apart and Hubbard died, the place was left to crumble."
