Celebrities are always in need of posh escapes; less-expected is the posh escape to the home of a celebrity. Maison 140, named inconspicuously for its location on 140 South Lasky, was once the home of silent film star Lillian Gish. These days the house finds its calling as a bed-and-breakfast of sorts, and though that title may conjure up images of quaintly shabby residential seaside shacks, Maison 140 is anything but. Each of the 43 guest rooms are an original creation, every one awash in bold Parisian- and Mandarin-inspired colors and patterns conceived of by luxury interior designer Kelly Wearstler. Meanwhile, in-house Bar Noir is all inventive cocktails and sleek black-white-and-crimson sophistication, and host every Wednesday night to wine and cheese parties that call to mind Maison’s sociable early days. As far as quaint, its location directly between Wilshire and Santa Monica Boulevards — in the heart of Beverly’s shopping district and just a short walk from Rodeo Drive — beg to differ.

As any true celebrity jet-setter knows, the best time to escape the trials of everyday life is immediately, and in this spirit Maison 140 is currently offering a stellar special for anyone who just can’t wait:
