The details are what delight at this impeccable, opulent—but never stuffy—spot: Your initials (or your dog's) embroidered on pillows, robes, and towels; your very own personal assistant; afternoon tea service accompanied by a live harpist; the perfect eucalyptus-scented steam room at the spa. Now, power lunchers and weekend brunchers are flocking to the hotel’s restaurant, Belvedere, which recently received a light and airy renovation that included adding a lush private patio and reimagined menu featuring farm-fresh Mediterranean-inspired cuisine.
