Where We Stayed: We stayed at The Beverly Hills Hotel! It’s a splurge for sure, but I just love everything about it and the service is amazing! I love it even more during summer because you get to use the pool! The Polo Lounge is a must for breakfast- the blueberry ricotta pancakes were so yummy! Every corner of the hotel is a photo opportunity but you have to be careful because they don’t allow photography! Shannon and I were extra sneaky with our photos! LOL
I know a lot of people hope to see a celeb when in LA. We aren’t crazy about celebrities or anything, but we did see Mark Cuban, Farrah Abraham, and Portia de Rossi at the hotel, so that was fun!
Brunch: We ended up eating brunch at our hotel most of the trip because it’s just so cute, but we did visit the Mansur Gavriel shop on Melrose Place. They have a little cafe and their food is divine. It’s also a great photo-op with pink walls and bougainvillea.
Dinner: Gracia Madre (Vegan Mexican), Jon & Vinny (pizza/Italian), Sugarfish (sushi- a Kardashian staple), Il Pastaio (Italian- make sure to order Justin’s Bieber’s favorite pasta- it’s so yummy!).
Coffee & Tea: Head over to Melrose place and grab a vanilla iced latte from Alfred’s, you won’t be disappointed. If you’re looking for boba or tea, head to Alfred’s Tea room down the street! Their rose tea is awesome and their matcha is one of the best I’ve ever had. I always get mine unsweetened because the boba adds a little sweetness.
Shopping: Melrose place is my favorite to walk around and window shop or spend some $$$ on designer goodies! Chloé, Frame Denim, Zimmerman and the new Glossier store are just a few on the street! Otherwise, Melrose street is full of great shops and on Sundays, they have the Melrose Trading Post at Fairfax High School.
