House of Tomorrow Home Tour

Home TourDiscover the Alexander Estate, known as the House of Tomorrow, popularly recognized as the Elvis Honeymoon Hideaway where Elvis and Priscilla Presley honeymooned in 1967.

Located in the historic Vista Las Palmas neighborhood, this extraordinary home was built in 1960 by architect William Krisel for Helene and Robert Alexander of the Alexander Construction Company. The architect designed a series of four interconnected circular pods, embodying Krisel's view that “circles have no edge, you can approach them from anywhere.” Many original and dramatic features have been restored including the terrazzo floors, windows, ceiling-mounted fireplaces, and the custom circular sofa in the living room.

Twilight Tour and ReceptionA twilight tour and bubbly reception for a limited number of guests at House of Tomorrow is available at 4:30 PM.This tour is for ages 21 and older.
