I wanted to leave word with all you merry holiday-makers: the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel & Spa is offering a special holiday rate of $149 for the next ten days, from December 18th to 28th (Bruce’s Lawyer Steve’s Note: This rate is based on availability, and you don’t actually have to be merry or a holiday-maker).

Conveniently enough, not only is this reduced rate just in time for a couple of upcoming holidays, namely Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Festivus, Boxer’s Day, etc., but there’s also a little thing called my half-birthday (Steve’s note: Bruce has birthdays every month)! Leave all presents at the front desk. Hint: some of my favorite gifts from last year were French hand soaps, star fruits, and wind chimes.

So if you want to come by the hotel, this is a great time. When booking, you need to provide the request rate code LLOB when calling the reservation line or use the promo code SPC when booking online here.

This is Bruce, signing off.
