As we told you earlier, the GM at L'Ermitage was a tad worried about becoming a "tourist stop" after Julie Roberts popped in to film a scene for "Full Frontal". Why was he so worried? Despite the heavy foot traffic, The Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel no doubt benefitted from all the Julia Roberts attention. The Wilshire is now known as the "Pretty Woman Hotel", and many folks book rooms at the property just to have the same experience Richard Gere and Julia Roberts had during their fictional on screen visit. Well, except without the escorts and the gerbils we hope. Oh wait, the gerbils weren't in the movie, were they?  It has been a while since we sat down and watched Pretty Woman.

Of course, the real "Pretty Woman" experience most folks are looking for involves lounging around in fabulous roomy suites, and shopping up and down Rodeo Drive.
