This hotel is both stunning and imposing. A large fountain sits in front of the grand 1925 art deco facade, providing guests with a sense of opulence at first sight. The Hollywood elite and real-life royalty have stayed at this residence, with its sparkling chandeliers, sweeping staircases, wrought iron balustrades and stained glass windows. 208 bedrooms have marble bathrooms and L’Occitane bath products and there’s a swish health club. Four, five and six-course tasting menus are served in Zinfandel’s, as is the gourmet buffet breakfast. A cocktail bar is adjacent and there’s Le Bistro, for a less formal dining experience.
