Best Places to Visit in April

Head to Beverly Hills in April to experience the new Gucci Osteria, the sibling restaurant to Gucci CEO Marco Bizzarri and chef Massimo Bottura’s joint enterprise in Florence. Bottura has already earned one Michelin star for the Italy location, so we're expecting big things at his first U.S. venture, which will also be joined by a brand new Gucci men’s boutique on Rodeo Drive.

That’s not all this month: The nearby Wallis Center for Performing Arts will stage its first ever full-scale dance production, The Minghella Project (a long-planned collaboration between the late writer-director Anthony Minghella and choreographer Jonathan Lynn), while the Beverly Hills Film Festival celebrates its 20th anniversary. Two of the city’s most iconic hotels have also undergone major refits. The four-year project to upgrade the historic bungalows at the Beverly Hills Hotel just wrapped up, including a Charlie Chaplin–inspired renovation of Bungalow 9, and the Beverly Hilton, long-time home of the Golden Globes, is set to complete $35 million refresh of its rooms and common areas.
