More about Avalon Hotel

What to expect: It’s L.A. hip all the way, and has been since 1949, when a bevy of famous stars (including Marilyn Monroe) called it the Beverly Carlton. The hotel has been so faithfully redesigned, it seems completely original (the hourglass pool actually is). During the week, guests are primarily from the fashion, publishing, and advertising industries. On weekends, anything (or anyone) goes.
Amenity highlights: The Olympic building’s blue on blue restaurant and bar, and adjoining pool with private dining cabanas, are the spots to hang with the perpetually thin and hip adorned in their finest attire. Service is available poolside. Both the fitness center and room service operate around the clock. Aura Spa offers in-room massages, body wraps, facials, hairstyling, and other treatments.
Insider tip: Martinis are “in” and come in daily flavors at blue on blue’s hipster bar. The Librarian’s Martini is a combination of Southern Comfort, Amaretto, and the juices of fresh limes and cranberries. Other popular libations include A Walk in Space, Blue Avalon, and the Sex Kitten (Skyy vodka; Cointreau; sweet, fresh, lime juice, and fresh raspberries).

Dinining

blue on blue Acclaimed California/eclectic cuisine is served for all meals either in this intimate restaurant and bar, or at cushioned lounge chairs, or in covered cabanas around the vintage hourglass pool.
