  • S Beverly Hills Epitomizes Upscale Travel
    California’s Beverly Hills Epitomizes Upscale Travel by Lee Foster Travel in the United States has become decidedly upscale, for some. Observers of travel have watched as this measurable trend developed. For a small, but identifiable segment of travelers, price is no object. What is of concern is the highest quality in accommodations, dining, and experience. This is the traveler whom every destination now seeks to woo. For the majority of travelers, reports on this privileged minority amount to armchair or fantasy travel, an act of vicarious gratification. Nowhere in the U.S. is the phenomenon of upscale travel better expressed than in Beverly Hills , CA . This writer on one occasion immersed himself in this elite travel environment. It is fitting that here the movie industry, the makers of illusion, also finds its home. Beverly Hills passed its 90th birthday in 2004 and headed confidently towards 100. The old gal isn’t allowing herself to show her age, of course, because plenty of cosmetic surgery is ongoing in the hotels, shops, and restaurants. “We see ourselves as an oasis where the traveler can find the highest quality goods, the best hotels and restaurants, and the ultimate in service,” said the Beverly Hills ‘ mayor. LODGINGS: STARTING AT RAFFLES L’ERMITAGE Raffles L’Ermitage Hotel in Beverly Hills may well be the choicest lodging in America . Such objective observers as AAA and Mobil have awarded it their coveted five star/diamond ratings, which are tough to get and rarely coincide in one property. L’Ermitage enjoys plenty of competition in Beverly Hills from the Beverly Hills Hotel, Regent Beverly Wilshire, and Beverly Hilton.

  • Re-Indigenizing Spaces: How Mapping Racial Violence Shows the Interconnections Between
    “Re-Indigenizing Spaces: How Mapping Racial Violence Shows the Interconnections Between Settler Colonialism and Gentrification” By Jocelyn Lopez Senior Honors Thesis for the Ethnic Studies Department College of Letters and Sciences Of the University of California, Berkeley Thesis Advisor: Professor Beth Piatote Spring 2020 Lopez, 2 Introduction Where does one begin when searching for the beginning of the city of Inglewood? Siri, where does the history of Inglewood, CA begin? Siri takes me straight to the City History section of the City of Inglewood’s website page. Their website states that Inglewood’s history begins in the Adobe Centinela, the proclaimed “first home” of the Rancho Aguaje de la Centinela which housed Ignacio Machado, the Spanish owner of the rancho who was deeded the adobe in 1844. Before Ignacio, it is said that the Adobe Centinela served as a headquarters for Spanish soldiers who’d protect the cattle and springs. But from whom? Bandits or squatters are usually the go to answers. If you read further into the City History section, Inglewood only recognizes its Spanish and Mexican past. But where is the Indigenous Tongva-Gabrielino history of Inglewood? I have lived in Inglewood all of my life. I was born at Centinela Hospital Medical Center on Hardy Street in 1997. My entire K-12 education came from schools under the Inglewood Unified School District. While I attend UC Berkeley, my family still lives in Inglewood in the same house we’ve lived in for the last 23 years. Growing up in Inglewood, in a low income, immigrant family I witnessed things in my neighborhood that not everyone gets to see.

  • 9876 Wilshire Boulevard Beverly Hills, California 90210 LOCATION
    AT-A-GLANCE FACT SHEET ADDRESS: 9876 Wilshire Boulevard Beverly Hills, California 90210 LOCATION: Situated on the crossroads of Santa Monica and Wilshire Boulevards, The Beverly Hilton is nestled in the heart of all that is Los Angeles: where the entertainment industry meets fashion; Beverly Hills meets Hollywood. The Beverly Hilton is within walking distance from the pulse of Century City and Rodeo Drive. Downtown Los Angeles, the Pacific Ocean, the Hollywood Bowl and the Los Angeles International Airport also lie nearby. TELEPHONE: 310.274.7777 ONLINE: www.beverlyhilton.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/thebeverlyhilton Twitter: www.twitter.com/beverlyhilton Instagram: Instagram.com/beverlyhilton Pinterest: Pinterest.com/beverlyhilton ORIGINAL OPENING: August 12, 1955 OWNERSHIP HISTORY: After scouting the ideal plot of land in 1943, distinguished hotelier Conrad Hilton hired Del E. Webb in 1953 to build his flagship hotel on the West Coast. The official opening was August 12, 1955. Owned by Merv Griffin from 1987 to 2003, Beny Alagem and Oasis West Realty LLC purchased the 569-room hotel in 2003 and immediately embarked on a spectacular $80 million renovation, which was completed in 2008. Since then, an additional $19 million in refresh updates have been made. The Beverly Hilton has hosted United States Presidents and royalty from John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. The hotel has welcomed heads of state, international business leaders and renowned Hollywood celebrities. DESIGN: The Beverly Hilton is instantly recognizable with its retro exterior – a nod to its mid- century architectural style. Conrad Hilton tapped renowned architect Welton Beckett (other projects include Capitol Records, The Music Center and LA Memorial Sports Arena) to design the hotel.
