    I lived in L.A. for a short period of time and on my last night in town, we went out to the strip for a few drinks. I was a little drunk and sad that I was leaving-and lamenting the fact that I had never seen the inside of the BHH. So on the way home, I asked my Cali friend if he could stop there-I was going in. I marched into the lobby, after midnight I might add-and explained my dilemma. And the staff couldn’t have been any nicer…they showed me around the lobby area, gave me some matchbooks, postcards, pens and stationary. It was very sweet of them and a cool memory.
    And some day I shall stay there!

  • @nancyjeanisnj
    @nancyjeanisnj 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +294

    As a former employee of the BHH this was a nice walk down memory lane. I loved seeing all the familiar places, and they have not changed much, it's a classic. One of the things we were known for was our customer service, but i didn't see you interacting with much of the staff, and i don't know if that's post covid or things have just changed there. For example any time we had a new guest checking in we would walk them to the room to and tell them about the hotel then point out how to operate features in the room. It was a nice one on one experience that most hotels didn't offer. We would have let you know about the coffee situation and if you wanted, have housekeeping send up a coffee maker. I know it seems weird, but that was the level of one on one customer service we were going for, a real guest interaction instead of just a nameless faceless anywhere hotel that was not memorable. We had so many guests that said they felt like we were family, we knew them by name, and they knew their favorite staff by name. Ahhh, the good old days. Like i said, maybe post covid has changed that type of interaction :(

      They don't seem to ever provide jugs for tea & coffee in the US. In New York I asked for a kettle/jug and was told they don't provide them in a so called upmarket hotel. You have to go to the restaurant and buy. I only ever got tea/coffee making in a Holiday Inn. Take a mini boiler with you. Also the added taxes are on everything even in shops you look at the price but when have to pay there is added tax! That plus figuring out what to tip it gets stressful!

    I have to confess that if money were no object, I would stay there in a heartbeat! In this setting, I wierdly love the Blanche Devereaux 'Golden Girls' wallpaper and all that peachy-pink decor - there are very few places in the world where that decor would look chic as opposed to achingly naff! Thank you for showing us these places. I was way out on the price; I was basing my guess on some very good London hotels, but then I noticed from your cup that it is part of the Dorchester Collection, and realised that I was out by a fair amount! But those taxes are a killer on top of everything else; I am all for paying taxes, but I would much rather they include it all in the rate!

You could even request a bus to help get to specific part of the resort and related attractions, no extra cost. Plus the website also shows the after tax prices straight up and no hidden fees. (The taxes where 8%, so not any different than sales tax here). I grew up in California, so I was use to resorts trying to nickle and dime you, so even though the place was not cheap, it actual felt like you got what you paid for.

    I had the dough to stay in one of the bungalows there around 2002. The old inheritance thing. So I looked on line at all the pics of them. Oh my... I like the vibe at the hotel. You CAN just go to the pool and get drinks without staying there. (I didn't stay there) But the separate bungalows are supremely swankarooney. One or two have their own pools, a grand piano in one, and the 40's lux furnishings are really grand. Plus the old vegetation around the place makes it that much more cozy. So, DO look up the five or six bungalows there and see the pics. People stay in these for weeks...to write or escape.

      Exactly...not every state has this and fact some states have NO taxes at all. So it pisses me off when people categorize a nation of 331 million documented people into one category. I found service in UK to be less than expected because tipping is included in many services whether it's good of mediocre.

    I really enjoyed watching that, thanks Tim. My husband, son and I stayed in the Marilyn Monroe cottage of the BHH for two nights as a retirement treat in 2014. I had often wondered what the rooms/suites were like in the main hotel and I thought that your room 219 was fab. We loved the old Hollywood ‘Rat Pack’ atmosphere that the place still has with all the stars of yesteryear staying there and partying. We thoroughly enjoyed our time spent poolside. I didn’t swim, but my husband and son did and told me that whilst swimming under the water there was piped Frank Sinatra music that could be heard whilst under the water, how amazing was that? It is a very expensive place to stay, but what an iconic place. We loved every minute of it and I would certainly stay there again if I had the opportunity xx

    Just started watching this video and I'm already stressed out about that exchange with the man who delivered the luggage. I find the tax and tipping culture very stressful and it honestly puts me off travelling to the US. On my last holiday (in Europe) I didn't carry cash at all! Thankfully I was never in a situation where I needed cash or had to tip, I think soon the fact that people don't carry cash is going to become a real problem for people who rely on tips to make up their wages.

I'm sure they just do that for the tourists as you never see that in Mon tourist areas unless you are in a group of 6 or more people and then they will notify you when making your reservation. In the UK anything under 10% is a small tip, I would NEVER tip 15%, I'm not sure what kind of service I would get by paying that much, most British people really aren't that demanding of waiting staff.

The men were in uniform & everyone in the bar bought us drinks. Wonderful memories!
