Since it was built in 1929, The Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel has attracted rich and famous guests from around the world. To the general public the hotel is most famous for being used in the 1990 movie Pretty Woman. They have disappointed thousands of people by turning down requests from around the world who would like to stay in the same suite that Julia Roberts and Richard Gere had in the movie because it does not exist, it was filmed at the Walt Disney studio.

Julia Robert’s character in the film was not the only pretty woman who stayed there. In the 60’s the hotel became a swinging hangout for Warren Beatty and Jack Nicholson, with parades of women going in and out of their rooms. A little old lady who stayed beneath Beatty constantly banged her ceiling with her broom, to try and get him and his lady friends to stop making so much noise.

Not everyone was having fun in the hotel. Michael Caine spent his honeymoon there with his beautiful wife Shakira. Caine was and is a favorite of the staff. In honor of Shakira they decided to give them the authentic Indian honeymoon suite. In India, the honeymoon beds hang from the ceiling with bells hanging from the bottom. The neighbors like to hear the bells go off for the happy couple, but in this case Shakira was already pregnant and Caine was jetlagged. All they wanted was to get some sleep but they couldn’t do it because of the blankety blank bells! The English actor ended up ordering four hamburgers from room service and stuffed the buns into the bells so that they could get through the night!

If you are planning a ski trip look no further than Winter Park
Resort in Colorado. Sure there all lot famous resorts here
in Colorado that are household names across the United
States, but these well-known resorts are plagued with
crowded ski slopes and lift lines. Which is why Winter Park
Resort is known as “Colorado’s Favorite”. Coloradoans
frequent this ski resort more than any other in the state, due
to the fact that it is one of the biggest resorts, with the most
snow and fewest tourists. It also helps that it is only 67
miles from Denver.

Winter Park Resort is also the home of the legendary Mary
Jane. Mary Jane was named as one of the top 5 resorts in
North America for bump skiing according to Snow Country
Magazine. It is not for the faint of heart, as there are no
green runs anywhere on the “Jane”.

Parsons Bowl takes you above the clouds and the tree
line. The bowl offers intermediate to advanced ski runs, and
happens to be a favorite of the locals. Once you get to the
top you will be looking for your camera, and a warming hut.

Ski Magazine ranks the terrain parks & pipes of Winter Park
Resort in the top 10 of the nation. The Railyard is one of the
longest terrain parks in Colorado, and covers 15 acres over
a 3,650 foot stretch of rail-grinding madness. For beginners
there is the Jack Kendrick, which has extra wide rails and
non-threatening jumps to help advance to the next level.

There are plenty of great restaurants and bars on the
mountain, and like the lift lines, the crowds never seem to
be a problem. You can also head to the actual town of
Winter Park after the lifts close. It is a quaint little strip of
restaurants, bars and shops. There is actually a very good
sushi bar in town that often surprises people with its great
food and reasonable prices.

Round off the day with a trip to the lighted tubing hill in
Fraser. They provide a lift, warming hut and the tubes. And
if you would like a day away from the slopes, you can enjoy a
snowmobile tour up to the top of the Continental Divide, or
get down right old fashioned and jump on a dog sled.
