The Santa Ynez Valley — one of California’s most inviting wine regions — now has something new to offer: its first bona fide luxury resort.
The storied The Inn at Mattei’s Tavern (from $950 per night, more booking options at Expedia.com and Hotels.com) in Los Olivos, California, has been meticulously modernized by design firm AvroKO and has just been opened under the management of luxury hospitality titan Auberge Resorts Collection. The new resort cements Santa Barbara County’s once-under-the-radar wine country destination — where past and current residents include Bernie Taupin, Noah Wylie, Bo Derek and David Crosby — as a vibrant vacation spot.
A former 1800s stagecoach stop between San Francisco and Los Angeles offering food and lodgings for travelers needing a recharge, Mattei’s Tavern reigned as the roaring social hub of the Santa Ynez Valley for over a century. Over the years, the spot had a host of iterations under various owners,...

In recent years, Culver City — known for its small-town vibe within the larger L.A. megalopolis — has welcomed a growing number of new-media companies to its streets, including Amazon Studios, Apple and TikTok, plus HBO and other divisions of Warner Bros. Discovery. This entertainment industry influx — which is bringing an estimated 7,500 to 9,500 jobs to the city of 40,000 — is now amping up the restaurant business there, especially as more employees return to office life.
“I had two emails from Apple today about [booking] dinners,” says chef Akasha Richmond of Akasha restaurant, which opened in 2008. “One for 90 people and another person emailed about a dinner for 27.”
At lunch hour, Platform LA — a 6-year-old boutique mall that includes stores and restaurants — is packed with entertainment staffers, says Patrizio Spagnoletto, global CMO at Warner Bros. Discovery. “It’s the stomping ground of people who are in the industry.

Dear Hollywood,
I have worked with you for more than 20 years, heading up corporate communications and branding at Paramount Pictures, Time Warner and Comcast.

I know my way around opening weekend as well as a soft opening. While worlds apart in many ways, the truth is we have been in a symbiotic, if co-dependent relationship for some time and while it has worked for many years, this pandemic is showing ...
