As Beverly Hills celebrates its 100th birthday, the storied shops and hotels inside its city limits are joining in the festivities. The Montage Beverly Hills just opened its Film Noir Suite 100 layered with rare finds from the ’40s, metallic Art Deco-inspired wallpaper, an Underwood Noiseless Typewriter (the same model used by Ernest Hemingway and George Bernard Shaw), and an old RCA phonograph player. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom suite is also stocked with retro cigarette gum and Oh Henry! chocolate bars plus vintage board games including Monopoly to Horse Derby. The new space’s most enticing innovation is a “push for champagne” wall button for instant, in-room bubbly delivery. “When the bellman opens the doors for guests, I want them to feel as if they were Vivian Leigh and Sir Laurence Olivier celebrating their honeymoon,” says interior designer Nina Petronzio of Plush Home who decorated the space. Other endearing touches include personalized stationery and a typed copy of the script for The Maltese Falcon. The lavish room will have you enunciating words in the manner of Olivier and utilizing Leigh’s trademark, “How do you do?” upon arrival.
