A Night at the Viceroy L’Ermitage Beverly Hills

The first thing you’re likely to notice about the Viceroy L’Ermitage Beverly Hills is that it’s quiet in the way that those who value their privacy appreciate quiet. Set on a residential street, tucked behind a canopy of palms, it feels less like a hotel and more like a private residence. The second thing you’ll notice […]

Borrowed Bling: Fine Jewelry for Rent

We rent cars, tools, technology, tuxedos and holiday houses. So why wouldn’t we rent luxe gowns and fine jewelry for those days we want to be our best and brightest? Blame our desires on the red carpet, designer-filled runways, busy social schedules and brides with a specific vision of their wedding day. Hollywood has always had an intimate [...]

Vintage Clothing: New York vs. Los Angeles

I have a confession to make: I am not a big fan of shopping in general, but I love collecting (and wearing) vintage clothing. Where I find the usual mall experience draining, I find the search for vintage clothing invigorating, a thrilling adventure of never knowing what I’m going to find when, where and for how much.

Taking it off: The Best of Burlesque

So, I could tell you all about how the roots of burlesque derive from literary, dramatic or musical work that caricatures its serious counterparts. Or how the Minsky brothers brought burlesque to New York in 1908 then moved it to Las Vegas in the 50’s. I can spout figures on speakeasies, discuss laws governing public nudity and […]

Open Air Cinema: Movies by Moonlight

As they say, it’s all about location, location, location. To catch the latest blockbuster movie releases, duck into the darkness of your local multiplex. But if you like your movies in a scenic venue with a side of sociability, it’s time to spend your spring and summer nights under the stars catching some classic cinema.

Drive the Dream in Santa Monica

Southern California is the epicentre of American car culture and provides some of the most spectacular and well-known driving routes in the U.S. Bring your own vehicle or rent an exotic or a Harley and take advantage of the exceptional weather. Santa Monica is the perfect place to start.

Feeding Fido in Los Angeles

Although dogs have long been a common sight in the outdoor patios of restaurants around Los Angeles, it wasn’t until August of 2014 that the California Legislature passed a bill to make it legal, protecting business owners from potential lawsuits and patrons from tickets. It is far from being as permissive as, say, France, where […]

We All Dream in Gold – The 88th Academy Awards

Now that the dry run – the Golden Globe Awards – is done, it’s time to prep for the real thing: the presentation of the Academy Awards on Sunday, February 28th at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. Actor Chris Rock returns as host after an eleven year absence. Hollywood awards ceremonies are always plenty of […]

Basking in the sun: L.A.’s best rooftop pools

When in Los Angeles, there’s nothing quite like soaking up the sun. And while there are any number of beaches to visit where one can do just that, there’s nothing quite like the seclusion and decadence of chilling at a rooftop pool as you absorb your vitamin D. Some of the best rooftop pools in L.A. […]

LA County Fair incredible fun for everyone

For over 90 years, Pomona, California has been the home of the LA County Fair. Running from September 4-27, the LA County Fair is one of the oldest and largest of its kind in the US, attracting over 1 million people annually. And while county fairs tend to have a decidedly agricultural emphasis the LA […]

Peninsula Beverly Hills

There’s only one California hotel to earn a AAA Five Diamond and Forbes Five-Star rating every year since 1993 — The Peninsula Beverly Hills. Located at the corner of Wilshire and Santa Monica boulevards in the heart of Beverly Hills, this Mediterranean-inspired hotel is an elegant Beverly Hills beauty. And while the location of the Peninsula might [...]

LA’s best brunches

In LA, dining is as much a social experience as it is a culinary one. The hottest eateries are places to see and be seen, where you can perhaps spot celebrities dining with celebrities, and much more. But a few choice spots in LA still put food first, especially when it comes to that perfect […]

Hotels go Hollywood

Iconic buildings play important roles in some of Hollywood’s most memorable movies. Imagine King Kong without the Empire State Building, Rocky without the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s steps, or The Shining without the Timberline Lodge. While slightly less dramatic, these three California hotels are great places to stay and just so happen to bring some […]

L.A.’s greatest hits – culinary style

Sure, L.A. may not get as much attention as a culinary hub as cities such as New York City, Chicago or San Francisco — but that’s what makes it such a killer, under-the-radar spot for culinary junkies. So if you’re considering taking a trip based around food destinations — or you simply need some good eats […]

Summer Fun in the West Coast Sun Sale

It’s time for a well-deserved summer vacation to catch those rays of golden sunshine. Hot summer nights in LA, family fun in San Diego, outdoor market shopping in San Francisco, languid lazing about in Hawaii, or perhaps a mixture of all of the above? We have a property to match your idea of a perfect […]
