Riviera 31 at the Sofitel Hotel in Los Angeles is known for its stunning and thought-provoking decor by L.A.-based firm Kayat Designs, which takes visitors on a visual journey through the evocative history of the French Riviera. The vision behind the transformation was to make the room reflect a more jovial, debonair era of the French Riviera lifestyle from the 1950s and 1960s with black and white photography from the archives of Edward Quinn.  Portraits of icons, such as Sophia Loren and Brigitte Bardot, adorn the walls.

There is a cherry on the top of all of these wonderful features. In true California and Angeleno fashion, there is a beautiful patio that boasts more than 2700 square feet of private enchantment. Guests can enjoy the afternoon sun and laid back atmosphere outside, while sipping and snacking to their hearts content. At night guests enjoy the patio, which is equipped with plenty of heaters and seating, while socializing away from the confines of the lounge and under the stars.
