Not many venues celebrate 101 years, the centenary being somewhat more popular. But for a property based on Highway 101 turning 101 is quite the excuse for a party and Hollywood hideaway Belmond El Encanto is all on board for this celebration.

With themed experiences paying paying homage to silver screen glamour and the nostalgia of the golden age of cinema, Madame micebook has packed her silk scarves and largest pair of sunnies to experience the thrill of driving a vintage car along the iconic Highway 101 to the American Riviera.

All she needs to do is decide between the Porsche Speedster or 1965 Ford Mustang and choose what to have in her bespoke picnic hamper, prepared by the hotel chef.  Back at the hotel, a series of movie nights under the stars showcasing the best Californian classics have been scheduled across the summer with The Graduate, LA Confidential andWho Framed Roger Rabbit? all set to run.

The trip can be rounded off with a summer’s evening on the lawn playing croquet and gazing out across Santa Barbara and the Pacific Ocean, while making the most of the vintage cocktail cart which will serve tipples including the 101 Spritz or the tempting American Riviera.
