Atop the recently remodeled Huntley Hotel, sits the trendy Penthouse restaurant and lounge. Once a cheaply priced, gaudy Mexican joint, the newly constructed Penthouse is airy, stylish…and expensive. Guests lounge on comfy settees before an open-air fireplace, or mingle at the bar in the center of the room. Windows line the perimeter of the space, providing a 360-degree view of the city, from the ocean to the twinkling lights of Hollywood, and beyond. Gauzy curtains section off large white booths and cocktail waitresses sport the perfect ‘little black dress,’ while maneuvering trays of champagne through the fashionable crowd. The menu features contemporary American with global influences. Whether dining or stopping in for an after dinner drink, Penthouse is an elegant destination for foreign and local party hoppers who work hard at looking good, and play hard while showing it all off.
