The Hotel That Vodka Built: The Stoli Hotel Hits Hollywood

The celebs were out in force to toast the new special visitor in town, as the best-selling Russian vodka in the United States, Stolichnaya Vodka, the elixir of choice for discriminating adults adds a new twist to the mix: the Stoli Hotel, a 10,000-square-foot cutting-edge entertainment space that premiered in the heart of Hollywood on May 2.

The Stoli Hotel in the center of Hollywood brings together the worlds of music, film, fashion, and publishing for a series of invitation-only events set against the musical choices of celebrity spinners, such as DJ AM, Samantha Ronson, Kid Millionaire, and That 70s Show’s Danny Masterson. 

Stolichnaya Vodka has always brought the party, but with the Stoli Hotel, the party comes to you. The iconic Hotel Moskva pictured on the Stoli label is the inspiration for the new hot spot, but inside, you’ll find a cutting-edge design and the full range of amenities that any four-star hotel would aspire to. The legacy of opulence and grandeur left by Russia’s czars will mingle with the influence of Constructivism, the artistic movement that began after the Russian Revolution, in the hotel’s design.

You won’t actually be able to stay overnight at the Stoli Hotel, but you can certainly spend many hours indulging at this refuge. Within the walls of the Stoli Hotel, celebs such as Paris Hilton, James Blunt, Debbie Matenopoulos, Bijou Phillips, Andy Dick, Bai Ling, Gavin Degraw,  Jamie King, Clement Von Franckenstein, and many more VIP guests were met by a full-service concierge, who directed them to the bar, or the guest rooms inspired by the various Stoli®’s full flavor portfolio.

VIPs made their way to the elit Suite, inspired by Stolichnaya elit, the brand’s ultra-luxury spirit. The integrated spa by GreenBliss Eco Spa (www.greenblissecospa.com) offered their services with free massages, facials, manicures and Reiki energy treatments. Gorgeous models served Stoli martini libations, delectable delights all night long. 

No party is complete without a gift suite, so Stoli partnered up with the reputable GBK Productions.  They relaxed on Robert Craymer’s eco furniture as they sipped Dare Devil Energy Drinks and ate the savory food from Sky’s Gourmet Tacos. And if the celebs couldn’t get enought, a "SKY’S UNLIMITED" card was given to them to enjoy this ultra-delicious cuisine anytime they want throughout the year and Dare Devil offered to deliver cases of their energy drinks to them on a monthly basis. Many of the celebs went crazy about Power Crunch bars being given away too.

Normally the suites have mostly women’s products, but this had a great mix for both sexes. Mood-Factory definitely set the "mood" with their amazing mood changing lamps. These lamps were a Huge Hit as they were also given out to all the celebs present. Many of them couldn’t wait to take to them home to change the mood of their significant other.The guests received their choice of a Surf Board, body board or skin board from renowned RebelBoards, 10 Hours of amazing Concierge Service from Dream Weaver Concierge. They added to their cool wardrobe with Hoodies & Outergear from Punkin & Sweetie, an extremely Hip T-Shirt from RAK, a cool Fluffy Joes Women’s Tee, a slick Beanie with built in head phones from Tooks International, Issac Mizrahi Women’s shoes and gorgeous jewelry from "Understated Designs." They also have to look good, so LaserAway gave them certificates to grab any of their many treatments they offer, Barbar gave them one of their highest end blow-dryers, Malibeauty helped them stay looking young and beautiful and "Sumbody" gifted high-end bath salts & soaps. Baby Rab had an assortment of very cool gear, including jackets and bibs. Rusty Bumper also provided the most adorable Onezee’s & and t-shirts for the toddlers they had a home.

All the celebrities that walked through this amazing suite also received a trip to one of 500 places in the world for up to 3 months. All expenses will be covered; however this was not your typical trip. I-to-I Meaningful Travel is providing the celebs an opportunity to have fun, see the world, and give back in the process. It is definitely a "feel-good" trip.
