Palm Springs is known for its stunning mid-century modern architecture, and few homes capture that spirit better than 1350 Ladera Circle, famously known as The Elvis Honeymoon Hideaway or The House of Tomorrow.
A Historic Architectural Marvel
Designed in 1960 by architect William Krisel, this futuristic home was originally commissioned as a personal residence for Robert and Helene Alexander of the Alexander Construction Company. With its dynamic winged roof, innovative circular design, and daring avant-garde elements, it quickly became a showcase of mid-century modern architecture.
In 1962, Look Magazine declared it “The House of Tomorrow”, and just a few years later, it became forever linked to rock 'n' roll history when Elvis and Priscilla Presley leased the home for their honeymoon in 1967.
The Home’s Unique Features
Stepping into the home, visitors are greeted by a sunken party pad, angular stacked stone walls, expansive glass panels, and a futuristic curved fireplace hood and floating hearth. The raised dining area seamlessly connects to the circular kitchen and a private den with its own fireplace. The home’s four en-suite bedrooms provide both luxury and privacy, while the lavish primary suite features a dramatic staircase leading to a glass-enclosed perch with panoramic views of Palm Springs.
One of the most distinctive elements is the spacious dressing room and bathroom, concealed by built-in wardrobe closets and centered around a circular tub. Outdoor living is equally spectacular, with a large pentagon-shaped pool, expansive terraces, and breathtaking mountain views.
A Piece of Palm Springs History on the Market Again
After being sold in 2022 for $5,650,000, the home underwent further updates in 2023, enhancing its level of luxury and sophistication while staying true to its original intent. If you were lucky enough to tour the home during Modernism Week 2023, you might notice some of the subtle interior design changes since its last sale.
Now, in 2025, The Elvis Honeymoon Hideaway is back on the market for $8,655,000—a rare opportunity for a buyer looking to own a significant piece of Palm Springs and Elvis Presley history.
