Conde Nast Traveler has named the City of Palm Springs in the Top "30 Best Small Cities in America" for 2014. Pooled in a category with beach towns and snowy escapes, Palm Springs landed at number 28 for its 350 days of sunshine and Hollywood glamour mixed with a poolside vibe.

This award is voted on by Conde Nast Traveler readers and based on cities with a population of fewer than 100,000.

"We know our city is great, so it's fantastic that Conde Nast audience has recognized us to be among the best in the country, "said Mary Jo Ginther, Director of Palm Springs Bureau of Tourism. "With our year-round sunshine, casual desert lifestyle, a wide choice of new and renovated hotels and hugely popular special events like the Palm Springs International Film Festival,  Modernism Week and so much more,  there's simply no doubt Palm Springs is one of the most happening, vibrant resort destinations on the planet."

Over a dozen new and renovated hotels have opened recently, with additional new developments set to open this and next year. New establishments to dine, dance and play have burst onto the Palm Springs scene, adding more "hip" and "cool" to the City's already great vibe.
