We scope out the wine baths, pet psychics, caviar facials, gourmet cooking classes, revolving rooms, and other extravagant extras that will push your vacation over the top.
Heretofore famous for its style-conscious offerings (striking, modern interiors by Thom Filicia; a nightclubby, sometimes celebrity-packed bar by Rande Gerber; a Bliss Spa), this summer, W Los Angeles–Westwood will offer amenities targeted at an altogether different type of fabulous guest—those accompanying their parents on vacation or business trips. The hotel’s new child-friendly programs will include W Kid’s Zone, a social networking service that pairs up children of guests staying at the hotel; Kid’s Happy Hour, afternoon activities ranging from arts and crafts projects to pool games; and a Kids Menu of sorts at the hotel’s restaurant (50 percent off for half portions of selected items).
