The Bar/Lounge at Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel

"It was given a massive transformation a couple of years back, adding a spa with blue glass sinks and dramatic light effects (even the steam room has electric "stars" on the ceiling), six poolside cabanas with plasma TVs and iPods, and two stunning see-and-be-seen spots—CUT, a Wolfgang Puck steak restaurant designed by Richard Meier (where celebs like Jennifer Aniston, Vince Vaughn, and Brangelina have dropped in—though probably not at the same time), and Sidebar, the lounge across the entry-way"

"CUT Lounge (formerly sidebar) is usually so crowded after work (it attracts agents and clients from the William Morris agency next door), that it's hard to find a seat"

"And thanks to a $35 million renovation and additions such as an ultra-sleek cocktail lounge and Wolfgang Puck’s steakhouse CUT (designed by Richard Meier of Getty Center fame), the lavish, historic grand hotel lures today’s hottest celebrities, too"

"Both bars can get rather sceney, especially on Whiskey Wednesdays at CUT"

"An exceptionally popular rendezvous, the lounge serves not just afternoon tea and fanciful desserts, but three-course prix-fixe dinners"

"Dining options include Wolfgang Puck's modern steakhouse Cut, whose adjoining bar serves barrel-aged cocktails"
