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

Restaurant Review: Oliverio at the Avalon hotel, Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, California

What's the Curbappeal?

- a retro design masterpiece....

- the outside tables: located around the hourglass-shaped pool, made famous by Marilyn Monroe photo-shoots. We recommend securing a table out here, the inside is gorgeous too but we found the pool-side atmosphere electric.

- the restaurant serves 'regional Italian' cuisine (the Executive Chef - Mirko - is from Milan). I had a delicious dish of fresh pappardelle with Lamb ragu: divinely rich yet not too heavy. We'll be back!

Hotel Review: Hotel Erwin, Venice Beach, Los Angeles, California

      What’s the curbappeal?

- Vibrant and fun interior: lots of bright primary colours, surf-and-skate inspired artwork, retro / mid-century modern furniture and fabrics

- Awesome views over Venice Beach, especially from our room: select 'Ocean-view' rooms, not 'City' ones

- Hip rooftop bar with stunning views across LA, and the beach: perfect for sun-downers. We loved lounging on the sofas and soaking in the views – see photos below

- Perfect for hipsters, beach lovers and party-people: albeit we found the hotel quiet even though it attracts a younger crowd

With Love,
