Featured Anticipated Hotel Opening of the Month: Fairmont Century Plaza, Los Angeles
Lights, camera, action!
After a highly anticipated $2.5 billion redevelopment of famed architect Minoru Yamasaki’s mid-century modern hotel, Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles has been completely reimagined to include 351 guest rooms and 49 suites, all with private balconies. Set on a former 1950s movie studio lot among glittering skyscrapers, trendy cafés and condo lofts, the hotel’s backyard is home to entertainment industry giants, CAA talent agency and the legendary 20th Century Fox Studios.
In addition to possibly running into your favourite stars, come marvel at the showpiece of Fairmont Century Plaza, the 14,000 square-foot Fairmont Spa Century Plaza brings a modern approach to time-honored wellness philosophies and practices; relax at the sunny guest-only private rooftop pool and bar; and enjoy California dining at its best in Lumière, a modern American brasserie, or Vignette, a casual grab-and-go café, or The Bar at Century Plaza located in the main lobby.
When the borders re-open and you’re ready to explore again, this iconic hotel is just two blocks from Beverly Hills and a block away from one of LA’s most premier dining rooms and preeminent retail destinations - the open-air Westfield Century City shopping center. The future has never looked so bright!

Earth Day should encourage us all to reflect on what we are doing to make our planet a more sustainable and livable place. We believe this should be daily work in progress - we all have an obligation to take care of this incredible planet that we all share. Earth Day is a great way to celebrate the progress we have made. It is also a great opportunity to recommit and strive to do a better job. With the past year, we have the opportunity for a global reset, and the future is bright!
As a team, we continue to invest time to learn more about the incredible work some of our travel partners are doing which will allow us to better educate our clients on how they can make a real difference when they travel. “Sustainable travel” is such a buzz word these days, but we are proactively trying to support real sustainable operators and resorts and learn about their projects and long-term goals.

Julie is in Rwanda right now, staying at Singita Kwitodo Lodge. The gorilla trekking permits cost $1500 for the one trek- the whole community benefits, which has almost eliminated poaching and also helped to protect the rainforest itself. The importance of this source of funding for gorilla conservation can’t be understated – without a steady stream of visitors, the round-the-clock protection of this endangered species and their natural habitat hangs in the balance. Their long-term preservation is at the core of Singita's purpose for operating in Rwanda. Singita is committed to help restore the habitat of Rwanda’s mountain gorillas through reforestation.
