Stayed: Hotel Covell

a friend of mine asked me to go on a spur of the moment design trip with her to los angeles. of course i obliged, but have to admit i had many preconceived ideas about the whole la experience. you see, i had never been and i had heard from many people what to expect...some of which was not positive. my expectations were optimistic, but not overly high. guess what? i was pleasantly surprised...the trip ended up being an inspirational whirlwind. i am officially a fan.

of course, it didn't hurt that we stayed at truly my latest favorite hotel...the hotel covell. it did not feel like a hotel at all...it reminded me of staying in an apartment belonging to a very stylish, cool uncle. we were completely relaxed, and again, my inspiration went through the roof. my only regret is that i didn't take nearly enough photos.

i need to plan another trip as soon as possible...just because i need additional photos...

beautiful...also, i should mention that if you plan on visiting, grab your reservations well in advance...there are only 5 suites and i imagine they fill up quickly.

i am not done with los angeles just yet...i promise...
