ºÚÁÏÍø Fashion Square’s busiest and most active entry point – the south entrance near Nordstrom – has been fully reimagined, creating an iconic new arrival experience that echoes the luxury wing entrance. The new entry is the finishing touch of a recent large-scale renovation that expanded the center’s luxury experience beyond the original luxury wing.
Highlights of this enhanced arrival point include a dedicated, multi-lane luxury valet and a dramatic new “meeting point” – a tall, backlit stone column featuring a laser-cut image of an agave, set next to a new, refreshing low wall of continuously moving water, along with lush new native plantings that echo the landscaping at the luxury wing entrance.
Surrounding the dramatic new porte cochere and main valet is a restaurant rotunda with space for up to five new culinary destinations with spill-out café seating, including Elephante, which opens in September. The restaurant’s approachable menu channels the spirit and cuisine of coastal southern Italy with the refreshing flavor of refined simplicity.
