| ANOTHER LUXE HOTEL HAS HIRED AN IN-HOUSE STYLIST TO HELP ITS GUESTS PRESENT THEIR BEST POSSIBLE SELVES. The latest luxury hotel to join the fashion pack, the Montage Beverly Hills, recently appointed Joseph Katz as its in-house stylist for VIPs. Katz has styled the likes of Drew Barrymore, Natalie Portman and Blake Lively and can take guests on a private, customised shopping excursion on Rodeo Drive, which is conveniently adjacent to the hotel. Guests take advantage of Katz’s personal relationships with designers to find the perfect outfit or a new travel wardrobe. Packages start at A$1,790 including one night accommodation, a half day shopping tour, make-up session and transport in the hotel’s Rolls Royce Ghost. The Ritz-Carlton Los Angeles has been offering its guests a personalised styling session with Hollywood stylist Aly Scott, who counts Scarlett Johanssen among her celebrity clients, as part of two luxe packages. The Stylcation package includes a three-hour session with Scott, as well as overnight accommodation, dinner for two at Wolfgang Puck’s WP24 restaurant and a $100 spa credit from US$1,800 for two. If three hours isn’t enough the Red Carpet Getaway packages include a six-hour styling session plus a pre-arrival consultation with Scott, along with two nights accommodation, dinner at WP24, Club Lounge access and spa credit from US$3,000 for two. At the Mandarin Oriental New York the fashion-challenged on the west coast can take advantage of the Mandarin Oriental’s Style A La Carte program that was launched during Fashion Week in September this year. Celebrity stylist PJ Pascual, who has worked for Harper’s Bazaar, will take guests on a six-hour shopping tour of the Big Apple’s finest boutiques and best small designers. The tour starts from US$1,602 not including accommodation. With more than 1,200 stores sprawling over 12 million square feet, the Dubai Mall can be daunting for even the most seasoned shopper. Guests staying at The Address hotel can make use of its personal fashion advisor service to make sense of it all. The fashion advisor meets you at the hotel to discuss yuor needs and personal style, makes a shopping list, guides you through the mall and arranges for purchases to be taken back to your room. Prices start at AED960 (around A$258) for a two-hour session. In London The Cavendish’s in-house personal stylist Rachel Gold can show guests the best shopping London has to offer for two hours or a whole day. Visit Jermyn Street, home to bespoke tailors who can put together a collection of custom-made suits, shirts and shoes. Or go for the complete makeover and spend the day shopping, at the hairdresser and spa under the stylist’s guidance. If you don’t like the crowds, Gold can even go shopping for you and bring the purchases back to try on in the comfort of your suite. Prices range from GBP200 – 600 excluding treatments. | |||||||
