I was at the new SLS Hotel tonight. Bazaar is the name of the lobby restaurant that encompasses 3 dinning areas. It really lives up to its name.

Me likey, the interior of the Philip Stark designed spread, is like Beatles Sergent Pepper, meets Alice in Wonderland. A acid trip, with clashing interior design icons that just seem to work.

Entertainment, right ? that’s why we go out and drop coin.

Menu – only for the adventurous, and not turned off by foamy, pond scum like sauces. Same chef and concept as uber hip “Xiv” tiny bite sized plates, with weird pairings – leave broke and hungry.

As I sat in my mismatched high backed wing chair, a guy sipping champagne with a black motorcycle helmet walks by, accompanied by 2 suited industry types. I know wearing hats indoors is bad etiquette, but a crash helmet is really bazaar ! He removes the helmet, slides his fingers through his hair, and casually glances back, yep. no mistake. It was Keanu Reaves, motorcycle helmet and all. The whole place starting staring and texting.

As we waited for valet, Tyra Banks( looks better on t.v )  and entourage arrived, so this place is the scene for the forseable future.

I took a tour with Jesse ( shout out to Jesse, give him a promotion ! ) and the rooftop pool(s) there are 2, one only 12″ deep, so no diving ! The rooms are unique, slightly trippey. Me likey The SLS Hotel on La Cienega Blvd. Los Angeles, California.

Willy Wonka meets Cheech and Chong = that’s my synopsis.
