Purchasing a residence in Los Angeles isn’t cheap--something that prospective buyers know all too well. And prices are especially high at prominent addresses like 9255 Doheny Road, where this 1,237-square-footer can be found.

With one-bedroom, 1.5-bathrooms, sophisticated interiors, breathtaking views, and access to a range of amenities, this apartment comes in at a hefty $1.999M, which, at that size, is expensive even by West Hollywood standards. But alas, this is the Sierra Towers, a building that houses many well-known residents of the area. One important factor may arise as a deal-breaker, though: where will friends and family of the lucky owner bunk-up while visiting?

Hospitality Design: Disney to Woo Guests With Princess-Themed Fiber Optics

Excuse us while we gag at our own use of the word "princess" in the headline above, but, well, it was either that or "royal." How else to describe the decor overhaul that Walt Disney World is planning for its Port Orleans Resort in Florida? The new block of 512 Royal Guest Rooms, inspired by Disney heroines such as Princess Tiana (The Princess and the Frog) and Jasmine (Aladdin), will open in March with "ornate beds that feature headboards with fiber-optic special effects, and gold and crystal accents." Headboards with special effects, crystals, gold—are we at a family resort or in Vegas?! And at the nearby Contemporary Resort, new wellness suites expected to open in fall have bamboo flooring, tea tree oils, access to yoga classes, and rainwater showers. We'd say it all sounds like the way Disney would spin "healthy living," but—oh wait.
