If I wanted lifeless 1990's decor, I'd stay at a Holiday Inn. I love this post though. Your design inspiration photos are beyond fabulous! The BHH was the epitome of Hollywood glamor, and the a perfect example of what was so appealing so many people to southern Cali in the first half of the 20th century.

It has a rich New Orleans history and truly it was the hotel to stay at for years and years. Now, it's tired and so needs a facelift! Hope you are well.

And they aren't using good taste when redoing either. When you compare what going on in "our" hotel with the Breakers in Palm Beach I could cry. The Breakers remains elegant and inviting. No reason ours should look so tacky. <br /><br />Haven't been to LA for 5 years or so, but last time we stayed at the Hotel Bel-Air. I think they are redoing right now.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10038190964528332030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118984659862108570.post-19764916368334222092010-01-28T12:19:27.360-06:002010-01-28T12:19:27.360-06:00Wonderful post Deb, Such a Glamourous time for des...Wonderful post Deb, Such a Glamourous time for design.
