The casual environment is the host of breakfast, lunch and dinner and includes a pool and features iconic furniture of the time, such as modern-era chairs and settees by Carlo de Carli and brass and wood dining chairs by [mid-century designer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wave-house-1) Dan Johnson. The restoration led by designer Kelly Wearstler, the [Beverly Hills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beverly-hills-hotel) restaurant appears like something out of a Mad Men episode where Don Draper escapes to California. Much of the exterior of the eatery is covered in color-blocked geometric frescoes and a variety of seating options offer different levels of relaxation, with the most covetable seeming to be the series of cabanas. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Hip Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/hiphotels) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Mid-century Aesthetic:** Opportunity to incorporate mid-century design elements into various industries, such as hospitality, interior design, and fashion. - **Retro-inspired Dining:** Potential for restaurants, cafes, and food establishments to adopt retro-inspired themes and ambiance to attract nostalgic consumers. - **Nostalgia Tourism:** Growing trend of tourists seeking out destinations and experiences that evoke a sense of nostalgia, opening opportunities for travel and hospitality industries. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Hospitality:** Incorporating mid-century design elements and creating retro-themed restaurants or hotels can provide a unique experience for customers. - **Interior Design:** Demand for mid-century furniture and decor creates opportunities for interior designers and manufacturers to cater to the retro aesthetic. - **Travel and Tourism:** Creating nostalgic experiences and destinations can attract tourists who are seeking to relive the past and explore vintage-inspired locations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vintage Luxury Dining](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limousine-restaurant.md) - [Mid-Century Modern Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balboa-surf-club.md) - [Vintage Californian Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-june-malibu.md) - [Mid-Century Nostalgic Hotel Redesigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-riomar.md) - [Artfully Designed Cali Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muse-restaurant.md) - [Old School Glamorous Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carlotta.md) - [Pink-Tonal Outdoor Patios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/great-white-melrose.md) - [Earthy Warm Ambiant Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muse-1.md) - [Cinematically Designed Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daphne-restaurant.md)
