Regent Beverly Wilshire
Penthouse Suite
$7,500 per night
The
Regent Beverly Wilshire is the grande dame of L.A. hotels and happens to
be the same age as the Academy Awards--72 years old. Like all things L.A., the
Wilshire has recently undergone an extensive face-lift and just last year added
the Penthouse Suite. Located on the 14th floor of the Beverly Wing, the
5,000-square-foot Penthouse Suite features three bedrooms, a wraparound balcony,
a formal dining room, living room, kitchen and den, and is decorated with
contemporary furniture. The master bathroom has floor-to-ceiling windows and two
glass-enclosed showers. And, luckily for those times when you decide to use the
remote control combination toilet/bidet with a heated seat, there are also
remote control operated blinds.
One
of the perks that come with this $7,500-a-night suite is that it is stocked with
your favorite things before you get there, thanks to a pre-stay
"interview." "If a guest likes lilies, we will fill the room
beforehand," says public relations director Deborah Damask. "And if
the King of Swaziland is coming to stay, we will have a direct satellite TV with
all of his favorite channels from Swaziland."
