Caliente Tropics Hotel, Palm Springs
Caliente Tropics Hotel, Palm Springs
Limited Edition, signed and numbered Fine Art Giclee Print
One of the last authentic ‘Tiki’ themed hotels in the US, the Caliente Tropics was built in the mid 1960s when Polynesian-themed A-Frames could be found in nearly every city from Ft. Lauderdale to Spokane. Even today, this exotic yet unpretentious (and affordable!) motor Inn hosts a real tiki bar and offers an escape to another tropical time and place. This drawing of the ‘Tropics’ pavilion captures the often underrated structure and mystery of this period of mid century architecture. One of my most popular pieces, the illustration comes as a fine art Giclee print on 100% Natural Rag archival paper and expresses in clear detail the bright color and texture of the hand-drawn, color pencil original rendering. Available with or without the “Palm Springs” text.
