New 'Share' Restaurant Features Seasonal Small Plate Dishes, Boutique Wines; The Culver Club Is L.A.'s Top Jazz Spot for 'A'-List Musicians
Officials of the Radisson Hotel Los Angeles Westside today announced the completion of a $2 million renovation that creates a new dining and jazz experience and enhances the lobby to generate more guest interaction. The property, which is owned by The Carlyle Group, is managed by Davidson Hotel Company (DHC) and was redesigned by Planning Design & Applications, Inc. (PD&A).
"We coupled with California-based PD&A to get us 'back to basics,'" said Phil Miller, vice president-design & construction, Davidson Hotel Company. "We then invited representatives from local businesses, technology schools, entertainment studios and the Chamber of Commerce to give us their ideas about a redesign during a wine and cheese event we hosted at the property. With those suggestions, we created interconnected, intimate seating arrangements that incorporate computer-friendly communal tables and sleek black leather lounge chairs.
"The end product is a stylish and energetic hub for guest interaction that allows leisure and business travelers to socialize before reading their e-mail. Guests can follow this up with something to eat or drink on the outside patio, featuring a 'fire-and-water' display."
According to Steve Kilroy, DHC vice president of food & beverage, the new restaurant, "Share," is a new-concept bistro that specializes in seasonal, small-plate dishes to create a warm, relaxing ambience for guests that wish to sample different flavors from diverse culinary options. "The restaurant features the Eno System, a cuvee system offering more than 32 boutique wines from out-of-the-way wineries.
"The new Culver Club hotel lounge is one of Los Angeles' most prestigious Friday night jazz spots," he added. "The lounge features the finest in world-class, 'A-list' jazz performers and encourages wholesome interaction between musicians and audience."
The Radisson Hotel Los Angeles Westside is located at 6161 West Centinela Ave., Culver City, Calif., near Los Angeles International Airport, Venice and Santa Monica beaches, The Promenade at Howard Hughes Center and Sony Pictures Studios. The hotel has 368 contemporary rooms and suites offering trendy LA-style decor and furnishings, Radisson's exclusive Sleep Number(R) bed, complimentary high-speed Internet access, and spectacular views of the area.
The hotel features a heated swimming pool and Jacuzzi, state-of-the-art fitness center, 24-hour business center, car and limousine rental desks, and complimentary airport shuttle.
