Old-School L.A. Glamour at the Avalon Hotel
|

Los Angeles has always had a style all its own, but the Fifties and Sixties were something of a Golden Era, and few recapture that magic quite as beautifully as Beverly Hills’ Avalon Hotel. everything from the bright matte beiges and blues of its decor to its Noguchi tables and Eames chairs, the Avalon is a loving ode to the Atomic Age — no surprise, then, that it is another kwid creation, as mastermind Kelly Wearstler seems to have quite the knack for spot-on period pieces. It is difficult to decide whether its most outstanding feature is its stunning retro swimming pool, or the restaurant that sits beside it, for the two are inextricably linked. The entire hotel embraces and reflects Southern California’s mid-20th century patio party aesthetic, and in this light blue on blue especially shines, all wicker and Lucite with benches and private cabanas. Everyday cuisine is New American, with swinging “Kick the Weekday Blues” poolside happy hours and a Sunday afternoon special featuring hangover cures and spa drinks (for those detoxing from a wild weekend) and gourmet bar food and Bloody Marys (for those who are still going strong). With its sprawling net of freeways, Los Angeles has long been linked with driving, and indeed it might take a while to get to all the endless Los Angeles attractions without one. Luckily, even if you’re flying in, you won’t have to worry about that with the Ride This Town package currently offered at The Avalon:

In Beverly Hills, it’s all about driving a car that matches your mood and suits your style. Avalon’s Ride the Town package allows guests to choose an eco-chic Prius, a high performing and luxurious Mercedes or a cruise-worthy, convertible Audi A4. Select the ease of curbside, airport pick-up or choose to have the car delivered directly to the hotel. A sleek ride combined with overnight accommodations in one of Avalon’s stylish guestrooms completes this quintessential Beverly Hills experience.


Package includes:

  • Overnight accommodations
  • Choice of Toyota Prius, Mercedes C300 or Audi A4 rental.

Rates for the package start at $359 a night, which isn’t bad when you consider your choice of three awesomely slick cars at your beck and call. Why not add some 1950s Beverly Hills chic to your weekend and book a stay at The Avalon?
