There’s no need to fight over who gets the master bedroom at this lavish LA pad. Each bedroom is as spacious as the last, decked out in sleek black grey and gold and all boasting ensuites and balconies. Survey the grounds from on high and spot the free-form swimming pool, canopied day bed and selection of seating areas on patios and terrace. An outdoor fireplace keeps the evening chill at bay and there’s dining for ten out in the fresh air. Heading back inside, a crystal chandelier twinkles in the lavish main lounge where a velvet suite is set around a striking, black feature fireplace. The dining chairs are like works of modern art and there’s a casual chill-out spot in hot pink and black, adorned with coffee-table reading. The kitchen might be more muted but is no less stylish in grey and gold. Everything you need to cook a gourmet feast is held within the cabinets. Should work beckon, there’s a plush office which wouldn’t look out of place as a Bond villain’s backdrop. You’re up in the Hollywood Hills here, the best of city and the great outdoors with the trails of Runyon Canyon Park a four-minute drive away and the shops, restaurants and theatres of Hollywood Boulevard and eight-minute drive.
