Amazing mid-century hotel, where all of the celebrities stayed in the 1960’s. Make sure to go upstairs to check out the old photographs and historical memorabilia.

This is owned by Nordstrom, only one or two in the world, and this is the original one. All Nordstrom returns go here to die. You get GUUCI, and deisgner for pennies on the dollar. Thrift store lover's dream come true. This is NOT like any other shopping experience, and you have to be a hunter, and love thrifting and the thrill of the hunt. Not for the rookie shopper. Plan to spend a few hours here.
