Tour Famed American Architect John Lautner's 1947 Boutique Hotel at The Lautner Compound

Join us for our annual tours of famed American architect John Lautner's 1947 residential subdivision just minutes from Palm Springs. This is your chance to immerse yourself in John Lautner’s spectacular and visionary architecture. This private estate is comprised of four interlocking residences called “Lautner Living Units” surrounded by beautifully curated cactus gardens, outdoor lounge area and plunge pool.

Owners and designers, Tracy Beckmann and Ryan Trowbridge, launched this award winning property affectionately known as "The Lautner" after an extensive 5 year renovation. The Lautner operates as an elite hybrid between boutique hotel and vacation rental property allowing architecture aficionados from around the world a chance to live the "Lautner Lifestyle”.

Lautner is the most famous protege of Frank Lloyd Wright and "The Lautner" is reminiscent of Wright's school of architecture, Taliesin West, in Scottsdale, Arizona where he studied for 6 years. John Lautner was one of last century’s important contemporary American architects. His work was concerned with the relationship of the human being to space and of space to nature.

“The Lautner” is only open to the non-booking public twice a year during Modernism Week. Architect John Lautner is also known for the Bob Hope residence and the Arthur Elrod residence located in Palm Springs.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit the John Lautner Foundation, striving to preserve the Lautner archive; educate the public on the architecture of Lautner; and provide support for preservation, protection and maintenance of all Lautner structures. Be a part of this important movement by supporting the foundation so that you too can play an integral role in preserving Lautner's architectural legacy.
