Travel Friday: Nothing beats the #amazing #northernlights. Sooo #bucketlist #travel worthy. But most of us will need a passport to see them! ✨🇮🇸

Today’s #VanityDrop talked about getting a #passport and staying #passportready. We reviewed options for handling lost or stolen documents, urgent travel needs, passport renewals, dual citizenship, and documents for #children. Your passport is one of the most trafficable assets you can own, and it’s also the first thing standing between you and access to another country, so make sure you know how to get one and keep it safe.

Today’s #VanityDrop talked about the benefits of connecting to #water as often as possible, and at least during your #vacation. We covered everything from #lakes to #waterfalls, #pools to the #ocean, and even water-based #wellness activities like plunge pools.

Podcast: Hello, Pendry

April 24, 2021

/ weho

I’m in the midst of serious event crunch season, and yet … I’m oddly relaxed. Mainly because of the #daycation I spent last weekend at Pendry West Hollywood.

One of the newest gems to join the Creative City, this oasis didn’t dissappoint. As you may remember, Tracy & I received a private tour 4 days before it opened – and this week we welcomed David Hoffman, Pendry General Manager to the show. 

With a focus on the arts, the Sunset Strip neighborhood, an endless choice of experiences under one roof, and hiring the right staff, Pendry is redefining New Luxury.  

Art:  “The Sunset Jewel” featuring Swarovski Crystals and mother of pearl leaves welcomes guests upon arrival. The entire property is full of impeccably curated choices from global as well as local artists and we heard whispers of docent-led tours in the works.

Bar Pendry:  This is arguably David’s favorite spot. Located right off the lobby, it’s a great place to enjoy a refreshing handcrafted cocktail or a light bite. Tracy and I both had the same feeling when we saw it …it reminded us of London. My favorite cocktail is the Xian Le and David said that it’s the Pomegranate Fizz for him.

Bowling Alley:  Yes, you heard that right. A bowling alley within The Britely is a perfect backdrop to create uniquely memorable moments.

Breathtaking Views: Catch DTLA and on a clear day, the ocean, from vantage points from the Mirois, The Pool, the Britely Social Club, the Helipad or even, your room.

Dining & Drink: Multiple food and beverage concepts are offered, helmed by acclaimed Chef Wolfang Puck. With 2 Michelin stars and a Hollywood roster, Wolfgang is an OG celebrity chef.  We welcome his return to Sunset and his offerings of Mirois, Bar Pendry, Ospero and more.

Design:  Martin Grunzinski of London was influenced by LA at dusk and ocean waves. His use of blues, pinks and brass set a perfect backdrop throughout your stay.

Location, location, location:  Located at the intersection of Sunset Blvd and Olive Drive, PWH occupies one whole block of the Sunset Strip. 

Music Venue:  Built on the House of Blues lot, the multipurpose live music venue (slated to open in August) will be a discerning spot to catch live music (remember that?!) and maybe even a Ted Talk or a Wedding Rehearsal Dinner.

Pendry Residence by Montage Hotels:  With thoughtful attention to detail, these luxury residences offer a private pool, fitness center, and all access to Pendry amenities. It’s the best of both worlds.

Safety: As the world opens back up, guests have access to One Medical online medicine, COVID-protocols and mindful social distancing while still feeling luxe.

Screening Room: It wouldn’t be a viable West Hollywood property without a screening room, would it? 

Spa Pendry: Just in time for the opening, LA tiers are opening up guests have the opportunity to relax at the deft hands of expert therapists.

The Associates: David and his leadership team have worked very hard to bring the right people to Pendry to deliver service and elevate the guest experience.

The Britely Social Club:  This private social club is a great place for locals to spend time with friends and experience Pendry West Hollywood amenities.
