SUITE 100: The Beverly Hills Hotel
The Golden Age Inspired by Marilyn Monroe: "Tihany Design drew inspiration for The Beverly Hills Hotel's Suite 100 from the glamorous lifestyle of Marilyn Monroe, a frequent hotel guest, and the 'understated elegance' of Paul Williams, the celebrated architect who designed the hotel's Polo Lounge, signage and iconic pink-and-green color scheme. Gracefully curved furnishings in rich hues of green and blue complement the existing architectural details of the suite's curved ceilings and walls. Quintessentially Californian, the design features black lacquer finishes, tropical prints, shag carpets and a bar made of rich sycamore wood that speaks to the era's modernist influence."

SUITE 100: L'Ermitage Beverly Hills
The Era of Studio 54 – Fashion & Art Collide: "It's the mid-1970s. Disco reigns the scene. Imagine Bianca Jagger breezing through the red velvet rope at Studio 54. Flashbulbs are popping and the bass is thumping. Legendary designer Ken Fulk has created Suite 100: L'Ermitage Beverly Hills as an homage to Andy Warhol's Factory. High-gloss lacquer, mirror finishes, orchids and vintage fashions in the closet balance delicately against the use of Ultrasuede, throughout the expansive suite. Other elements that evoke the decade include a powder room papered in Interview Magazine covers, a ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign that plays on Warhol's celebrated silk-screen portraits, and an interactive iPad photo booth mimicking the allure of the paparazzi adjacent to the room's elevated catwalk."

SUITE 100: Montage Beverly Hills
Film Noir: “The Film Noir Suite, created for the Montage Beverly Hills by interior designer Nina Petronzio, captures the sultry sophistication and mystique of Film Noir that was epitomized in the 1940s by jaded detectives, femme fatales and smoky jazz clubs. Petronzio has designed bespoke, Art Deco-inspired furniture featuring lyre and geometric shapes, gold and silver leaf, and mirrored finishes. Accessories include a collection of Lalique crystal and artwork from the period, as well as fun touches such as a vintage phonograph and typewriter. A 'Press for Champagne' button is sure to surprise and delight guests of the Film Noir Suite.”

The Birth of Modern Luxury: “Design firm Forchielli Glynn has transformed a suite into the embodiment of modern Hollywood glamour at The Peninsula Beverly Hills.
