Luxe
Rodeo Hotel: On Rodeo Bistro & Bar
The
opening of the Luxe Rodeo Hotel on Rodeo Drive by Efrem
Harkham, Chairman and Founder, in the 90s' was an event
of celebration for Beverly Hills residents and for those visiting
the City of Beverly Hills for business or pleasure. The beautifully
renovated hotel, with exciting interior design brilliance implemented
by Vincent Wolf in 88 rooms, suites, lobby and restaurant provided
a stunning addition to "the street of dreams."
