First Class in Every Respect…
Are you considering taking an epic journey to celebrate something special…an anniversary, a milestone birthday, or retirement? Or maybe you just have the urge to do it all. There’s no better way than to tour the world by private jet.
We just returned from a whirlwind trip to California. We visited two impressive hotels. First, we returned to the Four Seasons at Beverly Hills, a classic that has always captured our hearts. It’s Star Class in every respect…understated luxury that has you wondering if you’ll encounter Clark Gable or Greta Garbo as you turn a corner. Indeed, it remains a favored stomping ground of Hollywood’s glitterati. Most importantly, this hotel is classic Four Seasons, exuding comfortable luxury, anticipating your every need, and responding in the unpretentious manner that has long characterized the name.
When we arrived at our beautifully appointed suite there was even a photo of our much-adored pup, Sophie, the Official Dog of Elán, along with a note that she had apparently written. These and other touches immediately let us know that we were home, in the Four Seasons “bubble,” where life is near perfect. If your travels take you to the Los Angeles area there is never any better choice than this. We’ll make sure they know you’re coming.
The main impetus behind our visit to the LA area was to visit the stunning TCS Private Jet. TCS packages their own jet journeys, including both around the world itineraries, as well as those focusing on particular regions. In addition to their own journeys, TCS provides the aircraft for the Four Seasons Private. Jet, which is configured differently and whose packages are distinguishable from TCS’s in some important respects.
Having now experienced the TCS jet, the Four Seasons Jet, and the Abercrombie and Kent jet, we have a firm handle on which one to recommend for your special celebration. These itineraries nearly always sell out, so it’s always a good idea to plan well in advance.
Returning to terra firma, we concluded our visit to California with a stay at the Regent Santa Monica. This imposing hotel, whose October 2024 opening marked the brand’s return to the United States, is located in another iconic California setting, overlooking the vast expanse of Santa Monica Beach, including the boardwalk and the original Muscle Beach. From our gorgeous suite, fresh from the hotel’s recent opening, we ventured out throughout the town on foot (it was a relief to escape the Midwest’s subzero temperatures). We strolled through the Farmer’s Market, explored myriad eccentric shops, and just drank it all in…. On one of our evenings there we dined at a seafood restaurant recommended by the Regent’s concierge Kim that knocked it out of the park, from the first slurp of clam chowder to the final bite of key lime pie. Next time you’re heading there, ask us and we will let you in on the secret. Make sure to request the house car, an immaculate Bentley Flying Spur, to whisk you to and from dinner.
California remains the ultimate expression of America’s cultural experiment, combining favorable weather, oceanfront ease, artistry, and a bit of eccentricity to create the perfect getaway…especially when the weather back home is challenging.
For us, this was the perfect opportunity to refresh our acquaintance with some of our most valued partners in creating your perfect personal journey.
