Bolthouse Adds Dash of Nightlife to Miramar (PHOTOS)

Los Angeles-based events producer says he will transform a Fairmont Miramar Hotel bungalow into an intimate venue ideal for soirees.

Before undergoing , the Fairmont Miramar and Hotel will reinvent one of its freestanding cottages with help from Los Angeles event producer Brent Bolthouse, who opened Trousdale, Hyde and Foxtail.

Private gatherings and special evening events will kick off The Bungalows debut this summer, followed by events like industry soirees, intimate birthday celebrations and fireside acoustic music sets.

An exclusive menu by Chef Ray Garcia’s will accompany the new space, designed by Studio Collective to look like a seaside cottage.

"My dream of a beachfront hideaway has come true with The Bungalow," Bolthouse said in a press release.

During the 1920s the Miramar was the city's most popular hotel, with apartments built for long-term guests, Greta Garbo being among the first to move in. Over the years, the Miramar became a destination for many celebrities and political figures.

It's interesting that the Miramar is promoting their bungalows in its ads for potential patrons and now in new summer special evening events called "The Bungalows" when the so called "expansion" proposal will bring the demise of the same.
These bungalows, cherished by some who do not want them destroyed, are considered expendable for the monster project and, yet, they're being aggressively used for promotion as though they "make" the atmosphere of the place. How can this be?

Carol, do you even know what you're talking about? Have you ever been to the Miramar? How many cats do you have?

Vice President Joe Biden tried Tuesday to rally Congress to act on gun control legislation, sayingRead More that "the country has changed and [politicians] will pay a political price for not getting engaged and dealing with gun safety." "As proud as the president and I am of the progress we have made, we need Congress to act," Biden said in a speech delivered at the White House. "The American people are demanding it. We need to make sure that the voices of the ones we lost are the loudest ones we here in this fight." Specifically, Biden was referring to politicians like Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), who saw her approval rating plummet after she voted against legislation that would expand background checks. Sen. Jeff Flake's (R-AZ) and Sen. Mark Begich's (D-AK) ratings also took a nosedive. On the otherside, Democrats in red states, like Sens. Mary Landrieu (LA) and Kay Hagan (NC), got a slight boost in their approval ratings after they voted in favor of the gun control legislation. The vice president also released a set of federal guidelines Tuesday for developing high quality emergency operations for schools, higher education institutions and places of worship. "We made sure the guide reflects all the lessons we've learned over the years," he said.
