Hotel Hello

Loquacious Los Angeles hotelier Michael Rosenfeld sure knows how to throw a party!

More than 500 guests turned out at his new luxury 121-room hostelry, the Hotel Californian, for his Fellini-esque Alice in Wonderland fete to celebrate the opening of the multi-million dollar Moorish-style project designed by Martyn Lawrence Bullard.

Champagne flowed and eclectic comestibles abounded, but the undoubted highlight of the evening was the performance by 40-year-old, Grammy-winning singer John Mayer, former beau of local warbler Katy Perry, who has sold more than 20 million albums worldwide.

Among the tony throng were Oscar winner Michael Keaton, actress Bo Derek and longtime beau John Corbett, Doug and Marni Margerum, Merryl Brown, Bob Murphy, Andrew and Ivana Firestone, Helene Schneider, mayor Cathy Murillo, Barry and Matthew DeVorzon, Jeff Jacobs, Ursula Nesbitt, Arlene Montesano, Allen and Anne Sides, Bilo Zarif, Eric and Nina Phillips, David Sigman, Paul Orfalea, Bruce Heavin, Diana Starr Langley, Kim Hughes, Thomas Rollerson, and Karen Earp.
