The pristine street of a world-famous shopping district, the famed Rodeo Drive, evokes images of glamour… as the rich and famous peruse posh designer shops, stroll through the palm tree lined street and frequent the sidewalk cafes.

Rodeo Drive exudes the Beverly Hills lifestyle, making it one of the best places for people watching and a must-see on any Los Angles trip.

In the heart of it all, sits the Luxe Rodeo Drive Hotel, offering an ultimate indulgent experience for guests. And in addition to its everyday exquisite service, the hotel has opened its Penthouse Suite and Terrace this summer for a Sunday Champagne Brunch.  It offers a perfect brunch dining experience on the only rooftop open to the public in one of the world’s epicenter of haute couture fashion.

With ultimate views of Beverly Hills, the rooftop also hosts majestic views of the winding Hollywood Hills, a picturesque shot of the Los Angeles landscapes and architecture.  You even get anonymous sneak peeks at who is promenading on the “street” and with whom…

The Sunday Champagne Brunch has a lavish buffet with bottomless mimosas for those 21 and over. You can dine on selections like a rich eggs benedict with spinach and crab cake on the side…or the fresh sushi and assorted salad… or partake in the “sinful” Belgian Waffle station complete with assorted toppings, like seasonal berries, whipped cream, maple syrup, or powdered sugar.

With the delightful food and the glamorous ambiance, you will get a sense of what’s it like to live the Beverly Hills life.  The Sunday Champagne Brunch also features live music from celebrity guest DJ Matter.

So if it’s brunch time in Beverly Hills, the Luxe Rodeo Drive Hotel’s Sunday Champagne Brunch is the perfect way to take it all in.

Luxe Rodeo Drive Hotel’s Sunday Brunch is open 10:30am to 2:00 pm every Sunday throughout the summer.  Prices are $55.95 for Adults, and $29.95 for kids under 12.

Life is full of special moments worth commemorating—anniversaries, birthdays, and graduations. What better way to celebrate these special occasions then with a get-away trip, making those moments truly unforgettable?

Most agree that, in addition to seeing some of the wonders of the world, where one stays has a lot to do with the total enjoyment of a trip.  It is about how convenient and comfortable the hotel is, or whether it is close to a historical or extraordinary site, the accommodating customer service and welcoming staff, and generally if it has a distinctive individual personality, a compelling design or architectural elements.

The global collection of LWH Hotels properties, from the world-famous shopping on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, to the beautiful sounds emanating from the Sydney Opera House in Australia, to majestic views on top of the Eifel Tower in Paris, offers something for every special occasion.

Whether you stop at one location or a string of several locations, LWH properties will always have it right – right in the center of what is happening in town.

The year 1983 was a monumental year, filled with many “firsts.” Just consider: the first mobile phone was introduced; Microsoft Word was released for PCs; Michael Jackson‘s “Thriller” album sat at the top of the Billboard Charts; and the first American woman astronaut, Sally Ride, was launched into space aboard the space shuttle Challenger.

Of note is that also in 1983, Luxe Hotels founder and chairman, Efrem Harkham opened the doors to his first hotel, the Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel, which eventually led to expanding the brand to additional properties: the corporately-owned Luxe Rodeo Drive Hotel and the branded Luxe City Center Hotel.

So, thirty years later, the Luxe Hotels brand is now recognized as a leading international boutique brand. Luxe Hotels is celebrating as if it were 1983 again and will offer hotel room rates that of 30 years ago for stays at all three Los Angeles-based Luxe Hotels branded properties. Guests will be reminded of what a special year this was in Luxe Hotels history—with the rate of 1983 in 2013.

Here is how it will work: the public will have 24 hours beginning at 8 am PST on May 13th to book hotel rooms at the rate of $130, for a limited number of rooms at the Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel, the Luxe Rodeo Drive Hotel, and the Luxe City Center Hotel.

The Luxe Hotels branded properties are located near many “must-sees” in Los Angeles perfect for any Los Angeles getaway. The Luxe City Center Hotel is steps away from the concerts and sports venues at the Staples Center in downtown LA. The Luxe Rodeo Drive Hotel in Beverly Hills is located in the middle of the world-famous Rodeo Drive shopping district. The Luxe Sunset Boulevard property is situated on seven acres in Bel Air, neighboring the majestic Getty Museum and close to the UCLA campus.

Hotel rooms offered at the $130 promotional price are available on a first come, first serve basis and can only be booked during the 24-hour period on May 13 from 8 am PST to 8 am PST on May 14. The offer is only available for stays on Sunday, May 26 and Monday, May 27. What better way to spend Memorial Day Weekend than a trip to one of our Los Angeles properties?

So if you were planning a vacation or business trip to Los Angeles, this is the time to keep in CAPS on your calendar for a reminder to make that call to book a room or to please go to www.luxehotels.com and enter the promo code “30Anniversary” under promo code or call 1-855-805-5893 to make a reservation.

It’s a one time opportunity – Enjoy!

In tune with the thriving, local L.A. music scene, the Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel, located near the Getty Museum and close to UCLA, will feature local songstress, Amanda Ply, in the Luxe Lounge every Thursday from 5-9 p.m., starting tomorrow, April 18th.  Ply, a local singer/songwriter who just released her debut EP, “Runaway,” will perform a solo acoustic set and share the stories behind her songs.
