LA Field Trips #7: The Beverly Hilton

Last night Alex and I went to an event to raise money to participate in The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Hike for Discovery in Yosemite. The fundraiser was a Champagne and Chocolate Tasting at La Chateau at the Beverly Hilton. The hosts did a wonderful job and we met a great group of really fun people. I love hanging out at hotels in Los Angeles. I probably would've loved hanging out at hotels in New York but I was too busy being busy. The great thing about the Beverly Hilton is that blends old Hollywood glamor with 80's coke head sleaze. There's something approaching an all white monolith with small slim red lettering that pierces the skyline of Beverly Hills that makes you feel like you're in a movie adaptation of a Bret Easton Ellis novel.
