In honor of the The Grove's 10-year anniversary, the famed shopping center recently unveiled the results of its multi-million dollar lobby upgrade. We stopped by earlier this week to check out the swank new features, which include a 1,000 square-foot stylehaüs showroom and a stunning Rockwell Group-designed lounge.

Our first stop was stylehaüs, which is situated between two escalators on the first floor. The styling boutique's founder and The Grove's newly-appointment executive style director Marina Monroe walked us through the members-only shopping haven, where we marveled over must-have pieces from designers like Timo Weiland, Victoria Beckham, Maxfowles, Superfine, as well as tons of high-end vintage.

Besides well-curated fashion for women, another key feature at stylehaüs is the bespoke suiting option for men, where the men's custom clothing specialist Chris Gimeno Chollet (formerly of Tom Ford's Paris design team!) can create one-of-a-kind suits under his Alexander 1922 label. All suits are designed and handmade in LA, and prices range from $1,000 to $5,000.

After a bit of shopping (okay, a lot), we wandered The Grove's lobby to get up close and personal with its many new design features. From a floor covered in 15,000 square feet of stone to four Arctic pear chandeliers to Italian leather ceiling and wall paneling at the Valet waiting area, Rockwell Group pulled out all the stops for The Grove's new vibe, which is expected from the masterminds behind hotels like The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.

The lobby's aesthetic isn't the only thing to look forward to. New services include a spacious family lounge with a toy-filled play room, super clean restrooms and even a classic shoe shine and shoe repair stand—a personal favorite of The Grove's creator, Rick Caruso. Check out the gallery for some eye candy and stop by the shopping center to experience it IRL.
