Top Incentive Attractions

With 72 miles of coastline and 30 miles of sparkling beaches, Los Angeles offers business travellers the opportunity to unwind after a hard day of business and indulge in numerous sporting activities.  For die-hard water-sports fans, go north to surf at Malibu or to windsurf at Will Rogers State Beach, or for the golf enthusiast, head towards Griffith Park where there is a choice of four courses.
As an alternative, visit the Getty Centre, perched on its 100-acre campus high above the San Diego Freeway.  The dazzling complex bespeaks all the ambitions of the great art institution that it is and is a source of pride for many Angelenos.
To get a sense of “working on the lot” as studio life was called in the 1990s, the best place to begin is the Paramount Pictures Tour.  The longest, continuously running film studio in old Hollywood still holds some of the old magic, with its Bronson Gates entrance, with palm trees nodding in the breeze and fountains gurgling in the background. These are the grounds where Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers danced and where the moments and monuments from movie history followed thick and fast.  You may even get to take a look at a sitcom shooting during your tour.

About Maison 140

With its outstanding location, steps from Rodeo Drive, Maison 140 is an intimate, luxury boutique hotel and sister property of the Avalon Hotel.
Once owned by Lillian Gish, the star of numerous silent films, the property has recently undergone a transformation and resembles a Parisian-style inn of the last century with Far East overtones.
Maison 140 offers 43 luxury guestrooms with powerful patterns.  Custom and vintage furnishings create a stunning, one-of-a-kind experience for both the leisure and business traveller – where guests can expect hospitality and VIP treatment.

Luxury Hotel Facilities

Guests at Maison 140 can enjoy pool privileges at the nearby Avalon Hotel, Maison 140’s sister hotel.  Guests can relax on cushioned lounge chairs, or in one of the covered cabanas around the vintage hourglass pool before dining in the intimate restaurant and bar.
The Aura Spa, adjacent to the hotel, provides in-room massages, body wraps, facials, hairstyling and other treatments to pamper and rejuvenate.

Bar Noir is a stylish, intimate venue for private parties and special events and can accommodate 70 guests. Catering and full audio-visual services can be arranged and the concierge team is on hand to assist with secretarial services.
Alternatively, the Avalon Hotel is located nearby and provides the perfect setting for your meetings.

Room Options

Each of the 43 guestrooms at Maison 140 are individually designed to offer guests a welcome sanctuary from the activities of the day and feature a powerful blend of texture and colour.  The grey rooms combine elegant French influences whilst the yellow wall-papered rooms offer glossy black and white furniture, all having a distinct character of their own.
Guests enjoy the luxury amenities including Frette linens and bathrobes, down comforters and pillows, and an indulgent array of optional in-room spa treatments.
Choose from the Mandarin king, with 300 square feet, a four-poster bed, the Parisian queen or the Parisian twin. All rooms include highspeed internet access, CD / stereo, DVD, cable / satellite TV, minibar and multi-line telephones with voice mail.

Dining at Maison 140

As a boutique Parisian Inn, the Maison 140 offers a truly gourmet continental breakfast.  The morning buffet is served in Bar Noir and is a daily extravaganza of fresh baked savouries, locally roasted coffee, seasonal fresh fruit and smoothies made to order.
Relax over the morning newspaper in the soothing ambience of Bar Noir or have room service serve these delights in the comfort of your room.
Join the general manager nightly for a complimentary wine reception and pre-dinner drinks at Bar Noir before embarking on your evening’s entertainment.
Should you wish to remain in the hotel for dinner, guests can take advantage of the in-room dining facilities, featuring gourmet cuisine from acclaimed local chefs.
Bar Noir is the hotel’s enticing and exotic hideaway, ideal for informal gatherings, intimate conversations and “the place” to round off your evening.  With richly designed interior, crystal chandeliers and Parisian antiques, the Bar Noir is the ideal setting for irresistible cocktails with seductive names, such as the signature drinks French Kiss and the Lady Godiva.
