Built in 1930 by Alvah Hicks, an essential figure in the early development of Palm Springs, this extraordinary Old Las Palmas estate carries nearly a century of desert history. Once operated as The Cloisters, an intimate bed-and-breakfast, the residence was later owned and occupied by Liberace from 1967 to 1987. Today, following a meticulous period restoration, it stands as one of the city's most singular historic properties. Positioned adjacent to the O'Donnell Golf Course and just one block from North Palm Canyon Drive, the estate is a true urban mansion: more than 8,000 square feet set behind walls and gates in the heart of downtown Palm Springs. Romantic courtyards, sweeping arches and deeply shaded interiors reflect an early California sensibility, while a series of formal living rooms, intimate lounges and gathering spaces give the home remarkable scale and versatility. The floor plan includes five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a formal dining room, expansive kitchen, distinctive lookout tower and an exceptional bar/tavern detailed with dramatic period lighting. Above all, this is a house created for entertaining. Its rooms unfold gradually, moving between grand and intimate spaces before opening to multiple courtyards and outdoor living areas. Three interior fireplaces and two exterior fireplaces anchor the property, and as evening arrives, the architecture takes on an entirely different character. Warm light moves through the arches, the courtyards begin to glow and the estate comes fully alive, private, theatrical and unmistakably Palm Springs. Rare in provenance, scale and location, this is not simply a restored historic residence, but an enduring piece of the city's cultural and architectural story.
