Kelly Bensimon, known for her time on "The Real Housewives of New York City," splits her time between New York and Los Angeles, where her real estate career is thriving. During a recent visit to LA, the 56-year-old gave us an exclusive look at how she spends a day in the City of Angels.
Starting her day at the iconic Sunset Marquis Hotel in West Hollywood, Bensimon reminisces about her modeling days in the '80s and '90s when the hotel was a hotspot for celebrities like Bono and Elton John. Over coffee in one of the lush outdoor spaces, she shares her love for the hotel's nostalgic yet chic ambiance.
Feeling like a "different person" in LA compared to New York City, Bensimon enjoys the friendly atmosphere and quality of life on the West Coast. She often catches up with friends like "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Sutton Stracke during her visits.
For Bensimon, a visit to Dr. Nathan Newman's Beverly Hills office for a stem cell facial is a must. The renowned plastic surgeon's innovative treatments hydrate the skin and reduce wrinkles, giving Bensimon a refreshed and glowing complexion. She swears by these facials for maintaining her youthful appearance.
After her facial, Bensimon makes a stop at Erewhon, the celebrity-favorite grocery store in Beverly Hills, for a nutritious smoothie packed with greens, greek yogurt, and cayenne pepper. She believes these smoothies are the perfect way to jumpstart metabolism as swimsuit season approaches.
The highlight of the day is a tour of Bensimon's $13.4 million listing in Malibu, a stunning 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom property designed by architect Harry Gesner. With breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and unique design elements inspired by "James Bond" films, the home is a true gem in the Malibu real estate market.
As a successful real estate broker with Douglas Elliman, Bensimon finds joy in connecting clients with their dream homes and appreciates the artistry and architecture behind each property. Her passion for real estate shines through as she showcases the beauty and elegance of the Malibu listing.
