Inside The Travel Lounge Hosted by Peta Phipps

The Travel Lounge hosted by Peta Phipps brought together a select group of guests during Awards Weekend for a private, travel-focused experience at L’Ermitage Beverly Hills.

The private lounge brought together award-winning talent, tastemakers, and industry insiders for an immersive celebration of travel, style, and experiential luxury.

A Chic Escape in the Middle of Awards Weekend

While Awards Weekend is known for its whirlwind schedule, The Travel Lounge offered a relaxed environment where guests could unwind between events and explore bespoke travel experiences.

Curated by Phipps, the lounge reflected a growing trend among high-profile travelers seeking meaningful, destination-driven experiences rather than traditional luxury indulgences.

This year’s lounge featured a curated lineup of brand partners that blended travel, fashion, and lifestyle. Participating brands included Jayne’s Cottages, Casa de Campo, My Flight Advisors, EKOUEAR, COOFANDY, Lily Obrien Art, and SPOOGE, each contributing to the lounge’s immersive atmosphere with offerings ranging from private villa getaways and luxury aviation services to fashion pieces, art, and curated lifestyle essentials.

Hollywood’s Influential Crowd

“The Travel Lounge was created as a sanctuary—an intentional space where meaningful connections are made and where travel is reimagined as the ultimate luxury,” Phipps shared during the weekend’s gathering. “This year’s experience exceeded every expectation, bringing together an extraordinary community of talent and visionaries.”

Across the weekend, the lounge welcomed an impressive roster of celebrated guests, among them Emmy winner Sheryl Lee Ralph, multi-hyphenate entertainer Wayne Brady, Academy Award winner Regina King, and actors Sonja Sohn, David Denman, and Adina Porter.

They were joined by a mix of creatives, tastemakers, and industry insiders—from filmmakers and stylists to cultural commentators and rising talent.
