Upon our visit last week to the excellent guests-only hotel pool and rooftop, ABH, at the Thompson Beverly Hills, we happened to notice something interesting in the ladies room.

Thompson-branded toilet paper.

It's subtle of course. The logo is merely imprinted on each square, making it just barely discernible to a hotel geek like ourselves. We're not sure if this special toilet paper is in all the guestrooms but it is in every stall in the rooftop restroom.

Wow. Did we just write a post about toilet paper? ]]> juliana 2008-07-14T09:15:16-05:00 34.066704 -118.39625 Beverly Hills: Inside ABH at Thompson Beverly Hills http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/7/9/151850/2051 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/abh1.jpg" class="imgborder"><p>Yesterday we got an invite to check out the hotel guests-only rooftop pool and bar at <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Thompson+Beverly+Hills/local/806"><b>Thompson Beverly Hills</b></a> and since we've been waiting for this rooftop oasis since about February, we jumped at the chance to explore it.<p><b>ABH</b>--"Above Beverly Hills"--officially opened in <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/6/13/10719/6589/hotels/Thompson_Beverly_Hills_s_Rooftop_Pool_Finally_Opens_This_Weekend_with_Gucci_and_Rihanna">mid-June</a> with a flashy party for Gucci attended by Rihanna.

Hey, LA: do you hear that clickity-clack sound? That's a stampede of stilleto-clad starlets and wanna-be starlets heading straight toward you for some summertime party action.

But no need to lock up your booze cabinet; they have no desire to raid your house now that a bunch of new hotel bar hotspots have opened.

The LA Times reports that Suede inside the Westin Bonaventure is opened up yesterday (June 22nd), adding a second, slightly-more-private bar to their ground floor.

Phil Spector is most definitely not welcome there. ]]> Jenna 2008-06-23T14:24:09-05:00 Beverly Hills: Thompson Beverly Hills's Rooftop Pool Finally Opens This Weekend with Gucci and Rihanna http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/6/13/10719/6589

Finally! The rooftop pool at the Thompson Beverly Hills Hotel is set to open this weekend. Well...sorta.

The hotel will be hosting cocktail parties at the pool this weekend but the official opening will be on Monday. (Gotta love the Thompson Soft-Open Technique.)

One of those cocktail parties will actually be a Gucci party in honor of Rihanna and the Gucci Hysteria bags. Also expected are Camilla Belle, Minka Kelly, Becki Newton, Rashida Jones, Jacinda Barrett, Sophia Bush and Riley Keough.

No doubt Jason Pomeranc and co. won't be missing the opportunity to do some modelizing at their property this weekend. ]]> juliana 2008-06-13T10:24:07-05:00 34.066704 -118.39625 Search HotelChatter Search HotelChatter string http://www.hotelchatter.com/search/
