Gregory Peck's Hotel Empire
On one of our junkets to review West Coast hotels this summer, we bedded down at The Crescent, a boutique standard hotel that has become a quiet Beverly Hills address for creative types since its launch five years ago.

Peck sat down with JC Report to talk about his cookie cutter-free hotel concepts, the meaning of downtown luxury and the rash of developments in the coming months.
