For anyone interested in attending THE TASTE (food and wine festival) in Los Angeles at the beginning of September (2-5), several hotels in Beverly Hills are offering discounts:

30 % off at Crescent Hotel: THE TASTE Special Rate – “Approachable” luxury hotel located in the heart of Beverly Hills and steps away from the shopping of Rodeo Drive. Mention THE TASTE at time of booking and enjoy 30% off the best available rate during the weekend of THE TASTE.

Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel: “Experience More” Package – This luxury hotel just underwent a $35 million enhancement project.  The “Experience More” package includes a $100 or $300 hotel incidental credit per room that can be applied toward any one of the restaurants or spa treatments. The package also provides a free upgrade to the next guestroom category upon check-in (subject to availability, however).

Montage Beverly Hills: The TASTE Package – The hotel has created a summer special, which includes a complimentary upgrade upon booking, a welcome split of Schramsberg sparkling wine (hopefully the expensive kind!) upon arrival and discounted prices (standard guestrooms starting at $475/per night; superior guestrooms starting at $550/per night).

Book any of these hotels through www.lovebeverlyhills.com/thetaste.aspx and  receive 20% discount on tickets to THE TASTE.

I am not sure which days I will attending THE TASTE, but I will preview it as it gets closer and I definitely look forward to eating some amazing food.

I really do hope to interact with Giada while I’m there as well.
