岁月雕琢,纵享奢华
九月,洛杉矶阳光明媚,比弗利山比弗利威尔希尔酒店(四季集团成员)门前几棵高大的棕榈树时不时打下一片阴凉。早在好莱坞享誉世界之前,比弗利威尔希尔酒店已作为洛杉矶地标之一,在财富的流光溢彩中、在岁月的打磨中,历久弥新。这里,是浪漫之旅的完美停留地,也是感受欧式传统服务的不二之选。
处历史地标,重返荧幕佳话
坐落在美国洛杉矶罗迪欧大道的热门位置,比弗利威尔希尔酒店靠近好莱坞,将圣莫尼卡和威尼斯海滩的无限海岸风光尽收眼底。建于1928年,酒店早已经岁月的雕琢尽显风华,脱颖而出。作为历史的见证者,酒店经历了1933、1971和1994的三次大地震,还在世界第二次大战时被作为防空洞以保护平民。经过历史的抛光和打磨,酒店已在漫长的时光长河里找到了自己的步伐。
酒店门前,一辆辆豪车驶过用意大利进口鹅卵石铺设的车道。通往大堂的路上,精致的橱窗陈列着顶级奢侈品,令人目不暇接。连接新旧两栋建筑的连廊缔造出轻盈的通透感,将新与旧的交替融合在内部设计之中。
多年后的今天,时光流转,酒店作为名流下榻的首选,接待了多位好莱坞明星和世界级名流。如大家耳熟能详的猫王埃尔维斯·普雷斯利、英国摇滚乐队“披头士”成员约翰·列侬,甚至是英国皇室成员,都选择在比弗利威尔希尔酒店停留,一睹加州风采。
不仅如此,酒店的历史风韵和夺人风采,也让其作为许多好莱坞影片拍摄地,被定格在荧幕画面中。从1971年的《逃离猩球》,到2008年的《欲望都市》电影版和2010年的《情人节》,比弗利威尔希尔酒店作为取景地之一,伴随着电影主人公感受人生喜怒哀乐。而真正让人观众耳熟能详的,是1990年的《风月俏佳人》。风流倜傥的李察基尔,邂逅了美丽直率的茱莉亚罗伯茨。走进酒店大堂,映入眼帘的就是酒店的标志——条纹遮阳伞,这时忍不住想起茱莉亚罗伯茨饰演的薇薇安进入酒店的画面,脑海也里响起那首同名主题曲——“漂亮女人,你走在街上……”
欧式传统,至诚服务
若说酒店豪华舒适,设计高雅的客房早已让远方的客人们期待不已,而真正让酒店与众不同的,是酒店礼仪司们的暖心笑容和无微不至的服务。作为北美第一家引入欧洲礼宾服务的酒店,比弗利威尔希尔酒店早已将礼宾文化融入自身的一部分。酒店礼宾部现有14名成员,其中8名是国际金钥匙组织(Les Clefs d’Or )的成员,礼宾官们合计超过180年的专业经验,居加州所有酒店第一。
事实上,“礼宾”(Concierge)一词源于法国,古代指保管钥匙的人,而“金钥匙”一词,更显出酒店的礼宾官们深喑服务门道,懂得如何竭尽全力满足客人的个性化需求。当客人们享受胸前佩戴金钥匙的礼仪司所提供的服务时,便更能感受到酒店如何以其独特、专业、周到的服务使客人真正感到宾至如归。
科技进步的今天,礼仪司们的角色是否也受到影响呢?酒店的首席礼宾司Jeanne Mills表示,现在,客人们在面对海量的信息时容易感到手足无措,而此时礼宾部便化身信息的过滤器,灵活地根据客户的实际情况处理问题。不仅如此,礼宾官们还能利用个人联系网为客人们提出直接帮助。小到快递面包,大到组织求婚仪式、私人海滩旅游,比弗利威尔希尔酒店礼宾部如一把把万能钥匙,一一实现客人们的愿望。
置身绿洲,极致奢华
随着时代潮流的推进,现代人也开始在都市中寻找让身心彻底放松的安宁场所。在近期荣获福布斯旅游指南五星级殊荣的比弗利威尔希尔酒店,享受一套Spa作为一天的结束,让身心被唤醒,这无疑是一种愉悦的体验。
设想一下,在酒店设计优雅的水疗室里,让紧绷了一天的身体在温柔的水波中得到全面的放松。这时的舒适与惬意,让人如同置身于美而宁静的绿洲,感受岁月的静怡与美好。酒店的水疗区域占地面积超过8000平方英尺,有套房共计9间(其中7间带有浴室),更提供全美唯一的Natura Bissé 钻石级焕发新生脸部护理套餐。
何不在这里放松心情,释放身心,让美好和活力在这里得以延伸?
Luxuriousness Sculpted by Time
Beverly Wilshire, Beverly Hills (A Four Seasons Hotel) has long been a landmark of the city of Los Angeles even before Hollywood started to kick off. Over the years, Beverly Wilshire sees itself as a preserver of history and a devoted concierge for its guests.
Witnessing History & Trends: A Close Bond with Hollywood
Built on the site of Beverly Auto Speed way, Beverly Wilshire sits in the heart of Los Angeles and is close to Hollywood, overlooking the west coast. Built in 1928, Beverly Wilshire is a history-rich property. For decades, it has witnessed major earthquakes in 1933, 1971 and 1994 and was an air shelter during World War II.
Over the years, Beverly Wilshire has received guests ranging from Hollywood stars to political figures, such as Elvis Presley, John Lennon, and the Royal Family, etc. Meanwhile, it has been made guest appearances in popular movies such as Escape from the Planet of the Apes, Clueless, Sex and the City: The Movie and Valentine’s Day, but made itself world-famous as the setting of the movie Pretty Woman. This is where Richard Gere, who acts as a man in a hurtful business, meets Julia Roberts, who plays a role of a beautiful prostitute, and falls in love. For fans of this movie, spending a day in this hotel feels like a Cinderella story for adults coming true. At the same time, it feels like the background music of Pretty Woman is playing as you enter the hotel.
Pioneering Hotel Services: The Concierge Tradition
What separates Beverly Wilshire from its counterpart is its concierge desk, and it was the first hotel company to introduce European-style concierge in North America. The concierge team consists of 14 members, including eight members of Les Clefs d’Or – literally, “keys of gold”. Les Clefs d’Or is a professional organization of hotel concierges around the world. There are more members of Les Clefs d’Or on the concierge desk at Beverly Wilshire than at any other hotel in California. You can recognize a concierge at Beverly Wilshire upon check-in by a crossed gold key displayed on his lapel. A concierge can provide you with the up-to-the minute details of happenings around you and would love you whatever he could at your request.
In the era of technology, has the role of the concierge been replaced by technology? Jeanne Mills, the Chef Concierge at Beverly Wilshire, says that the profession of concierge has evolved with the times, as guests now sometimes feel overwhelmed by the information online, with the help of a concierge, and they are able to make their stay more well-spent. In addition, concierges could offer insider access through their personal connections, no matter if what a guest wants is to propose or even to make a private trip to the beach, they could offer insider recommendations and even do it for the guest.
Leading Modern Lifestyle: An Oasis of Beauty and Revitalization
Nowadays, to take a break from the hustle and bustle of city life, there is a trend that people are becoming more willing to spend their day in a place where they could truly have a rest than before. Here, Beverly Wilshire offers its guests an oasis of beauty and peace in Los Angeles. Imagine this: you have yourself a spa that uses exclusive products from the award-winning Natura Bissé, together with a signature anti-aging treatment which was recently awarded the Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star Ward, who would say no to this sensory delight?
