Message: | I have two suggestions for you. One is upscale and is a 5 minute drive from where you are staying in Century City. La Cachette at 10506 Little Santa Monica Blvd. in Century City. Phone: 310-470-4992. Classic French in a beautiful room, (see if you can get seated in the fireplace room).
The Polo Lounge in the Beverly Hills Hotel located at 9641 Sunset Blvd. Phone: 310-276-2251. The pink lady looks absoutely fabulous after her remake. The hotel and grounds are worth seeing, even if you don't eat there. If you want a wonderful breakfast go downstairs and eat at the counter in the Fountain Coffee Shop. They kept the original jungle motif wallpaper and you might just end up sitting next to someone you have seen on TV or in the movies.
I put in a link that gives a bit of background about the connection of the hotel to the hollywood stars and movies it has hosted. At the bottom of that link is a link to the hotels own web site. The hotel is about 10 minutes from where you are staying. If you like "kitch with style" you'll love the BHH.
Have a wonderful visit. One warning, Woody Allen would have to edit the remark about LA's contribution to culture being able to "turn right on a red light." Lot's of signs going up that say, "no right on red", so keep an eye out when ignoring them. Also the LAPD and Beverly Hill PD give jaywalking tickets out like candy on Halloween. |
