Trousdale Estates residents have been beleaguered by ongoing power outages for the last year and a half, a hot-button issue that’s been discussed in heated city council meetings with Mayor Lili Bosse, councilmembers, and representatives from Southern California Edison. On the morning of Jan. 12, yet another power outage in the neighborhood reached a peak problem, with rain and cold weather making the situation untenable for many residents. By 4:24 p.m., Bosse, who had expressed her concern in the community’s WhatsApp group, offered a compelling solution: discounted, government rates at the city’s Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, for $150 a night, and The Beverly Hilton, for $125 a night.
The Courier also reached out to Beny Alagem, the owner of Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills and The Beverly Hilton.
