Restaurant review: Polo Lounge, Beverly Hills Hotel, Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, California

What’s the curbappeal?

A ‘window on LA life’: come here to watch the scriptwriters and Hollywood directors order iced tea and talk about future films. You’ll see the odd actor or famous designer too. I did but could just have been lucky…    

I came for breakfast, ordered copious amounts of coffee and the seasonal fruit and berry plate, with Tahitian vanilla-infused Greek yogurt and pound cake: fresh, moist and lovely

…I did mull over the ‘Pink Palace’ (the name caught my eye!): smoked salmon with super soft scrambled eggs; lemon ricotta pancakes and a side of sliced fruits and berries – sounds yum.

This place is an LA institution: you have to go when in town. Even if it’s just for iced tea…lots of locals do just that…

Oh, and you must sit outside on the patio…it’s old school in terms of décor, but the grounds are lovely and its very atmospheric

Hotel Review: SLS, Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, California

What’s the curbappeal?

   The strikingly unusual public areas designed by Philippe Starck: in the lobby and breakfast area you’ll find illuminated moose-heads and machine gun lamp stands paired with high-end contemporary Cassina furniture. The rooftop pool and deck features unique oversized mirrors, urns and artwork, as well as fabulous views over Los Angeles. 

    My room was more understated - calm, sleek and luxuriously appointed: think more custom Cassina furniture; a contemporary button-back banquette in butterscotch; crisp white 300-thread count Fili d’Oro linens and a glam brown faux mink throw. Lovely contemporary rainforest shower unit.

 The spa is absolutely gorgeous: 5,000 square feet of pure, unadulterated, white-on-white chic. It’s going into the shortlist for my 2013 ‘Most Fabulous’ awards.
