4 /5 Carlo N.: El Mirador Tower is an iconic structure of the hotel who has lost its prestige through out the years. It was popular back in the 20’s and in 1982 was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Unfortunately, seven years later a fire destroyed it and they reopened the tower in 1991. This tower remains an icon at the 387-bed acute care hospital, Palm Springs’ only trauma center. Overall, it has an interesting history and architecture.
