(
elevators)
After our mac & cheese dinner, we went to the Bona Vista Lounge at the Westin Bontaventure Hotel. Its on the 35th floor (the top floor) so we had to take the red line elevator up there. The elevators are cool, because the face outward, giving us a great view of downtown during the ride. Also, you might recognize the hotel since it was in several movies, such as True Lies and Rush Hour.
Anywho, back to lounge talk. The lounge is unique because it is revolving, so you can potentially get a 360 degree view of downtown if you stay long enough and boy, is it a gorgeous view! Only the seat area of the lounge moves and at first it seems pretty slow but once you have some drinks in you, it seems to get faster. The funny part about the lounge revolving is that the bathroom seems farther or in a different spot since you last remembered.
The lounge is decorated with retro red furniture and real dim lighting. It has a nice and quiet atmosphere. It was extremely quiet the night I went but it might be because it was a Thursday night. You can order drinks and food at the lounge and they have a happy hour (but I forgot the hours). I had ordered a chocolate martini and boy, was it stiff! I had always heard they were good and indeed it was. It was like an alcoholic chocolate milk. Sandok had ordered a strawberry daiquiri in a souvinere boot cup that he got to keep. The cocktails were the typical LA pricing ($12-18) but they have a very good pour. The Bona Vista Lounge is a cool place to go once in a while or to bring someone who is from out of town.
