through a hidden back way wearing disguises.
Neil Simon filmed his hit “California Suite” on the premises. The hotel changed hands a mul-
titude of times—from Ben Silberstein to the Boeskys to Denver oilman Marvin Davis to the Sultan
of Brunei.
The Pink Palace—with its 22 bungalows tucked away under the swaying palms, gardenias,
and perfectly landscaped grounds—has been the choice for Clark Gable, Carole Lombard, Spencer
Tracy, and Katherine Hepburn to enjoy themselves in this historic and one-of-a-kind setting.
In the 1990s, the Sultan of Brunei spent more than $100 million to remodel the hotel. Grateful
guests are still languishing at the Polo Lounge, pool, and bungalows, enjoying the scene and unique
lifestyle.
