Beverly Hills Hotel in Beverly Hills, California
“Since my birthday is on Christmas, I generally get to pick where we go, especially since our nine-year-old twins no longer believe in Santa—and don’t have to be around our tree on Christmas morning. We usually get a bungalow or a third-floor suite that overlooks the grounds and Sunset Boulevard. I do absolutely nothing but read with my kids and wife around the pool, and we eat most of our meals in the Polo Lounge.”
Lawrence Otis Graham
Special Counsel
Cuddy & Feder LLP
White Plains

Rio de Janeiro
“When I can take time off during the winter break, I like to go to warm places like my hometown of Rio de Janeiro. My children get to spend time with all their cousins while I just relax on the beach until dinner.”

DoubleTree by Hilton Tarrytown

Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort & Casino
“My family and I love going to Aruba during winter break, as the weather for the most part is absolutely perfect. We stay at the Hyatt, because their service is great. Their food is also wonderful, and, as an owner of four restaurants myself, that’s critical to me.”
