Peninsula Hotel Empties Its Coin Purse for Oscar Guests

Peninsula Hotel Empties Its Coin Purse for Oscar Guests
The best perk of staying at the luxe Peninsula Hotel during the Oscars (aside from Tiffany cufflinks on demand and complimentary Gold Standard wine)? They'll clear the road for you. The Beverly Hills hotel, where suites can cost up to $3,500 a night, buys up all 48 metered parking spaces surrounding the hotel – at Wilshire and Santa Monica boulevards – to help make way for traffic on Academy Awards night and ensuring prompt red carpet arrivals. And if you're having a car crisis and your Rolls Royce (or Prius) won't start, the concierge keeps just the right vehicle on hand for guests: a Bentley.

Don't forget! After the Oscars visit People.com for photos of the best dressed, the biggest parties and all the backstage action you couldn't see on TV!
