I am Juliana Ribeiro, the Sales Coordinator at the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel. For me, summer really is the best time of the year! Nice weather, blue skies, trendy new stores to check out, awesome concerts at the Bowl and great new plays pretty much EVERY weekend. Leaving work last Tuesday, I was reminded of the Summer Jazz Festival at the Hollywood & Highland Central Courtyard – I decided it was a perfect occasion to enjoy the surprise with one of my new favorites, the “Ray of Sunshine” smoothie from D’Lush. There is a lot of bustle and movement, and the Renaissance Hotel is right in the middle of it all. There are some great hotel rate packages set up with shuttle tickets included for the Hollywood Bowl and the Pantages Theater nearby. Now that SpaLuce is being added to the hotel, it will be refreshing to “hide”, unwind, and relax in the middle of all that is happening in Hollywood. Who knew that could be possible—this is probably how a celebrity feels living in the Hollywood Hills!
