The free-flowing floor plan features high ceilings, walls of glass, and travertine marble floors that keep the interiors light and airy.
Guests can pour a martini at the original mirrored bar where Bob once entertained Hollywood legends, then relax in the spacious living areas designed for conversation, cocktails, and connection. With multiple lounge spaces, colorful décor, and plenty of photo-worthy details, the interiors are as Instagrammable as they are comfortable.
