We saw Jeremy Davenport playing downstairs with his band — when he introduced them, he didn’t give their real names, and gave lawyer names from TV instead…including Chip Forstall, Juan LaFonta…I think we may have been the only ones in on the joke because everyone else was like “oh, that Juan is so good…” ha!
The concierge lounge is large:
…and I love seeing what their big floral arrangement in the lobby will be, especially because I always think of Shug’s first hotel visit which was this one.
