FUN FUN FUN — An Eventective User from CA Beverly HIlls

The hotel is the centerpiece of University Circle, a spacious park-like business plaza that feels both sheltered and cutting-edge. Wooden benches and ornamental trees line a central promenade, enhanced by black iron lampposts and discreet splashes of color from seasonal blooms. The most captivating attraction is an Olympic-sized water court that greets visitors as they arrive. From either side of the pool, round black demi-globes spray streams of water in a row of graceful arches. Adjoining this aquatic display are swaths of manicured lawn, which make an inspired locale for a wedding ceremony. As evening descends, specialty lighting adds a bewitching glow. In front of the porte-cochere, yet another fountain welcomes guests. The hotel's soaring modern facade features a tower of curved sky-blue glass, a look that is complemented by the sleek interior, best described as contemporary California chic. Streamlined furnishings and earth tones promote relaxation, while edgy accents, an exotic floral display, an avant-garde statue, enliven the aesthetic. The ultimate decor coup, however, is the amazing artwork on view throughout the property. Hand-selected for the hotel, the collection includes works by Picasso, Matisse and Miro. Clearly, the Four Seasons has gone all out with this latest member of their hotel family. The handsome ballroom is a prime example. Social hours are held in the tasteful foyer, where eight original Dali lithographs spark lively conversation. Inside, understated elegance and state-of-the-art touches set the stage for a sophisticated reception. Walls of blonde Douglas fir are trimmed with rich African cherrywood. Futuristic prism lights dangle from the ceiling, while frosted glass panels framing the doors have a self-illuminating gold leaf design that casts a soft, honey-hued patina over the scene. It is a fantastic place, it is amazing.
