Grab some glittering Oscars glamour for yourself, with goodie bag-inspired getaways
by Gemma WhiteIn the days leading up to the Oscars, celebs will be descending en masse on the gifting suite at the Luxe Hotel in Beverly Hills to pick up their beyond-luxurious Dhs55,000 goodie bags.
And although the likes of Jennifer, Reese, Paris and Katie are offered gifts that include vacation vouchers for Italy and Jamaica, Moroccan beauty products, rare British perfumes and delectable Californian delicacies, for free, Ahlan! reveals how you too can enjoy the fruits of an Oscars goodie bag... except you'll have to pay (sorry!).
Goodie Central: Luxe Hotel Rodeo Drive
The penthouse of this luxury boutique hotel will be home to the Oscars gifting suites during Academy Awards week, but you can snap it up for a stay at any other time.
Slap bang in the heart of Beverly Hills, on (cue Pretty Woman quote) "Rodeo Drive, baby!", the Luxe, with Valentino and Michael Kors boutiques in walking distance and the super-hip clubs of West Hollywood and the Sunset Strip minutes away, is a firm celeb fave.
