Our hotel is kinda fancy. Kinda posh. If you think that means snooty, here’s one of the many ways we’re not: We welcome not only you, but also your furry best friend. A lot of guests are surprised to find out that we LOVE dogs at the deLuxe. We do charge a one-time pet fee, but it includes the use of a doggie bed and bowl and take-home toys.
Really want to go whole “dog”? Call Room Service and order off of the doggie menu. Fido’s craving Thanksgiving dinner with all the fixins’? We’ve got that. A Rainbow trout platter? Yep, that too. How about a doggie massage, or acupuncture, or photo shoot? We have all that and much more. And when you’re ready to hit the town, you may want to consider our doggie daycare. Nothing like ruffin’ it, is there?
Cheers,
Brandon

It’s funny. The lobby at the deLuxe always makes me think of Sunset Boulevard, Norma Desmond, and the unbelievably handsome William Holden. It’s all about old Hollywood, just like the deLuxe. So I was excited to hear that the Gerding Theater at the Armory—which you should check out even if you never see a play, it’s just beautiful—will be showing Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical version of the film. It’s full of pathos and lust and ego-driven action. In other words, a must-see.
And please note what a wonderful job I’ve done resisting the line you thought I was going to quote. Oh, you know, the one about Norma being prepared. The one about wanting the camera to zoom in. The one where she’s completely delusional. Oh, what the hell: “All right Mr. De Mille, I’m ready for my close-up.” Whew.
Sunset Boulevard begins October 5th at the Gerding Theater
