 Los
Angeles, November 9, 2005- SBE Hotel Group (SBEHG), a division of Sam Nazarian�s
SBE Entertainment Group, is pleased to announce the purchase of the Le
Meridien Hotel Beverly Hills from Le Meridien Hotels & Resorts.
�The Le Meridien Beverly Hills is a spectacular property in a strategic location. It is a landmark destination in an elegant district of Los Angeles and is conveniently adjacent to major business centers, cultural attractions and LA�s nightlife,� said Arash Azarbarzin, President of SBE Hotel Group. �It is the perfect addition to SBEHG�s acquisition strategy that focuses on creating unique, lifestyle-driven properties in world-class cities.� The 270,000 square foot hotel features 297 bedrooms (including 55 luxurious suites), state-of-the-art conference facilities (including 10,000 square feet of meeting space), a deluxe spa, and a superior health club and exercise facility. The property also boasts two unique dining destinations, including Morton�s Steakhouse renowned for its star-studded Oscar bash. Centrally located at 465 S. La Cienga Blvd on LA�s restaurant row, the hotel is only minutes away from Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills, The Wilshire Business Corridor, The Grove, The Farmer�s Market, Santa Monica beach and many major Hollywood film studios. With entrepreneurial insight and panache for trend setting, SBE Hotel Group and its affiliated entities are quickly earning a reputation for demonstrating a distinctive style, innovative design and exceptional service. SBE Hotel Group will extend its proven hospitality formula to the successful repositioning of the Le Meridien Beverly Hills. Currently SBE�s hotel division is exploring several exciting options, including teaming with world-renown designer, Philippe Starck, to redesign the property. This marks the second recent acquisition for SBE Hotel Group. In a joint venture with Makar Properties, SBEHG purchased the historic Miami Ritz Plaza, South Beach, Miami. Philippe Starck has been commissioned for the complete renovation of this magnificent, ocean-front property.
