With the various lounge and suite options available to us (and there were a surprising number of them in light of the circumstances), we selected to check out the Secret Room Events Pre-Red Carpet Style Lounge for the 2021 Emmys as it would most likely deliver the most balanced, flavourful and interestingly presented boost of […]

Prior to the much-anticipated September 22 Emmy Awards’ broadcast to millions of global viewers, nominees, talent, and selected media gathered for a little pre-show getaway at the Inter-continental Park Hotel in Los Angeles, for the Secret Room Red Carpet Retreat gifting lounge. The indoor–outdoor venue allowed the VIP guests to revel in the California […]
Road-tested: the Secret Room’s Emmy gift suite
After years of planning pre-awards lounges, Amy Boatwright has a keen sense for not only what her celebrity guests want but also what they actually need. The Secret Room Emmys’ Gift Suite for 2018 clearly had a focus on health and self-care, integrating a few essentials that should be in everybody’s carry-on bag. These included […]
Not all Emmy gifting suites are flash and sizzle. The whitewashed décor of West Hollywood dining hot spot Fig & Olive provided a dash of Provençal flair to Doris Bergman’s ninth Annual Style Lounge and Party Celebrating Television’s Biggest Night.

The Secret to longevity: the Emmy lounge season begins
Elyse Glickman Although the Secret Room’s 2017 Emmy lounge was built on an intimate scale, Amy Boatwright, one half of the dynamic duo behind the Secret Room pre-award show lounges, was not going to allow any sad event—natural or otherwise—rain on her parade in bringing additional joy into the Emmy season. ‘After doing these […]

The two Camelots: the Petries’ living room was the hippest fictional place to be in the early 1960s, with Dick van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore as Rob and Laura Petrie in The Dick Van Dyke Show. Ed Asner with Moore in the pilot episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show—not the first take. The […]
