Assouline – In The Spirit Of Beverly Hills 100th Anniversary

Perhaps no other destination in the USA has such a magical, luxe quality as Beverly Hills in California. On the surface it looks deceptively low key with its ordered boulevards and discreet homes but there’s so much more going on.

Enter one of its luxe hotels or go shopping on Rodeo Drive and you could be rubbing shoulders with the seriously rich and famous. The paparazzi following them around will probably be a sure sign of their star power. Then behind those high walls towards the hills, are the mansions which have housed true screen legends like Will Rogers, Douglas Fairbanks, Lucille Ball and George Burns. You may still be able to feel these legends around particularly at The Polo Club in The Beverly Hills Hotel during Saturday lunchtime.

This book, In The Spirit of Beverly Hills is a celebration of all of that and was written after the 100th anniversary of Beverly Hills in 2014. Filled with fascinating facts and photographs of stars from Hollywood’s golden era, it’s a wonderful taste of all that Beverly Hills has to offer.
