Excellent summation, Scented - I agree with everything you say about FS Beverly Wilshire. The big suites in the Beverly Wing are delightful, but the Wilshire Wing, which used to be THE place to stay, is awful these days.

Dorchester Group's two best hotels are in LA - they walk all over their hotels in Europe. Love Bel-Air.

Does Jeff actually own the flower shop in FS LA? I wonder, because I first met him at that hotel back in the early 1990s. The hotel owners have a chain of flower shops and have always been very keen on having great flowers and manicured grounds. I wonder if Jeff just put his name to the shop?

I bet he has a much bigger flower budget now than he did back in the 1990s!
