Beverly Hills, US

Like Vegas, New Orleans, and New York, Beverly Hills is one of those places that can be distilled into an essence. Oozing old money, Rodeo Drive is the heart and soul of LA’s most opulent suburb, home to the world’s most exclusive brands, including Burberry, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Cartier, and Prada. Flanking Rodeo Drive, the 16 ­square­ blocks that encompass the Golden Triangle are popular with mere mortals that can’t quite stretch to a suit with a six figure price tag. La Brea is the place to head for more eclectic purveyors, where funky antique stores do a roaring trade in Art Deco, Arts and Crafts, and mid­ to ­late 20th century furnishings, and some of the West Coast’s venerated vintage costumiers nudge up against California’s finest restaurants, including Campanile, Fifty Seven, and Republique. Wilshire Boulevard is where iconic department stores, Saks, Barneys, and Neiman Marcus are housed in jaw dropping edifices while Sunset Strip, emblazoned with billboards, is the preserve of leather-­clad rockers who swagger through the lobbies of music industry­ centric hotels like the Mondrian.
