Arrived in Beverly Hills at 1045 and checked into The Montage.
A couple of years ago, I stayed and filmed at The Montage in Laguna (around 60 minutes drive from LA) ... one of the finest properties in America ... so I have high hopes for the BH hotel.
When I am not filming, I always stay in hotels where I have friends ... and in LA I have always stayed at the Beverly Wilshire (Four Seasons) as the PR-lady is one of the nicest people in the world and a dear friend. I am staying here at The Montage, because of Frank Bowling - the legendary hotelier - and also one my mentors when I started the show 9 years ago.
SO - more on the hotel tomorrow after I have spent 24 hours here.
This evening, I have just had dinner with London friends. After 3 weeks of hotel - albeit gorgeous hotel food - having home-cooked food was just perfect. It's just been a totally lovely evening ...
I am now sitting at my desk eating gummi bears! yum!
