In addition to boozy beauty lounges to prep stars for the 85th Annual Academy Awards, tons of fancy hotels are also hosting suites showcasing luxe, red carpet-worthy baubles. One of our favorites from last year, Montblanc set up shop at the Beverly Wilshire Beverly Hills for a unique art show and collection preview.

Alongside men's timepieces and writing instruments, an array of paintings were on display that featured imaginative interpretations of Montblanc's iconic star symbol by a handful of international artists. Favorites included Singapore-based Justin Lee's "Double Happiness" (pictured above), Denmark-based Jan Christensen's "Superimposed Stars" and Japan-based Shinpei Naito's "The River Side."
