The Hostess With The Mostest
The hotelier behind the celebrity-approved Palm Heights builds buzz like no one else.
Or frequent visitors like Chloe Sevigny or Emily Ratajkowski, lounging under the hotels signature yellow umbrellas.

But much like Khalils properties, theres more to her than meets the eye.
Gabby is really good at being warm, but keeping a level of privacy.
It’s actually masterful, says Scott.
I was like, Wait a second, that’sGabby?
As Khalil well knows, its best to have layers.
