Beverly Hills : Millet to Lead Advisory Panel

Winston Millet, founding president of the Beverly Hills Historical Society, has been chosen as the city’s representative in the Beverly Hills Hotel historic preservation consulting group.

The group of preservation and architectural experts will advise hotel owners on preserving the hotel’s Mission Revival heritage during the two years of renovation. Work on the 80-year-old hotel on Sunset Boulevard begins in January.

The group is separate from an independent consulting firm hired by the city at the hotel’s expense to monitor the hotel’s compliance with preservation measures set by the city.
