Rolls-Royce Beverly Hills partnered with Cabo’s luxurious One&Only Palmilla Resort to bring Baja California to Trousdale Estates in Beverly Hills.
Clients of Rolls-Royce Beverly Hills and past guests of One&Only resorts cruised up Doheny to 406 Robert Lane, an $80 million property from longtime O’Gara partner, The Agency.
The whole 2019 line of Rolls-Royce automobiles including the Wraith, Phantom, Ghost, Dawn and brand-new SUV, the Cullinan were utilized in this multi-brand activation in transporting guests to and from the luxury property.
Upon arrival at the mega-home, guests enjoyed a cocktail hour with fresh libations made possible by Phillippe Zaigue, the in-residence mixologist and bar manager of One&Only Palmilla.
Zaigue’s specialty is using uber-local ingredients only found in Mexico, not limited to holy leaf, xoconostle, guava, guanabana, lemon balm and chiles, all a reflection of traditional Mexican influences.
Zaigue has had many accolades in the mixology community including The Grey Goose 10 Mexico in 2013, Havana Club Gran Prix Mexico in 2014 and was a finalist of the Beefeater MixLdn in 2014. He concocted a special Tequila cocktail for the Rolls-Royce event.
