Adventures in Hotel Advertisting: We swear the Luxe Hotel Rodeo Drive isn't that bad

One of our reporters returned home from Los Angeles with the above postcard, which he'd swiped from his room at the Luxe Hotel Beverly Hills Rodeo Drive.


Yes, it's edgy. Yes, it's supposed to make you wonder whether homegirl is about to jump.


But she's probably not. For one thing, she's got great shoes on -- and we can assure you that her experience at the hotel would not have caused her to go leaping off a roof into traffic. The Luxe's stellar location, cheap happy hour, fabulously plush bedding, and generous freebies (Wi-Fi, daily pass to a nearby gym) had us smiling. Not doing…this.
