Riviera 31

A central U-shaped bar at the Sofitel Beverly Hills sits under walls and a ceiling lined with Edward Quinn's photographs of the French Riviera, beach scenes alongside Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, and Princess Grace, with cabana seating out on a heated patio. The kitchen serves charcuterie boards and Mediterranean plates alongside cocktails like a strawberry basil martini and a tequila-and-rose-water la rosa picante. Entertainment changes nightly: jazz on Mondays, international performers on Tuesdays, burlesque and DJs on Saturdays.
