Destination 90210: The Allure of Beverly Hills

As cities all over the world open up, Beverly Hills and Rodeo
Drive are welcoming back visitors as part of a Summer ‘21 travel
phenomenon. 90210, the legendary zip code and “the street of
dreams” are beloved both by residents and by those that jet in
for a vacation. In this episode, hear from those in the know on
how Beverly Hills maintains its captivating allure, and the
backstory on its signature high style.


Host Bronwyn Cosgrave talks
to Julie Wagner, CEO of the Beverly Hills
Conference and Visitors Bureau, about the local finds and hidden
gems like GEARYS Beverly Hills, the 500 cheeses at the Cheese
Store of Beverly Hills, Arturo’s, the shoe fixer par excellence,
and custom libations like the Pretty Woman cocktail served at the
Beverly Wilshire. Saudi-born, LA-based
singer-songwriter Tamtam, who graced
the June cover of Vogue Arabia, explains why Beverly
Hills is so meaningful to her it even inspires her
songs. Luning Wang, columnist
for Financial Times China, adds that travelers are drawn to
“the association with Hollywood and all the celebrities and the
secret VIP services brands can offer.” 


Cosgrave also explores the moving backstory to the luxury houses
and hotels of Hollywood’s Golden Era. She talks
with Royal Kennedy
Rodgers and Kathy Vance,
producers and directors of the 2021 Los Angeles Area Emmy
Award-winning PBS documentary “Hollywood’s Architect: The Paul R.
Williams Story,” about the celebrated African American “architect
to the stars”, who created Beverly Hills style at a time when he
was not welcome in white neighborhoods. Kathy
Gohari, President of the Rodeo Drive Committee, explains
why Rodeo Drive is an international destination that still feels
like a village, where people are proud of the City’s history and
heritage.


If you’d like to have your own Pretty Woman moment by replicating
the Beverly Wilshire’s Feeling Pretty cocktail at
home, here’s how.
