DPA Hosts Emmy Pre-Award Gift Suite at Luxe Hotel in Beverly Hills

DPA, the event company led by Nathalie Dubois, held its Emmy Pre-Award Gift Suite on Sept. 12–13 at the Luxe hotel in Beverly Hills, two days before the Emmy Awards on Sept. 14 in Los Angeles. The company said the suite was open to celebrities, nominees, presenters, media, and jury members.

Dubois described the suite as an effort to introduce brands to guests rather than only fill gift bags. "For us it is not just about putting a product into a gift bag. It is about creating an experience, introducing exceptional brands to exceptional people and creating connections long after the awards weekend," she said.

DPA listed past suite guests as including Queen Latifah, Charlize Theron, Richard Gere, Sharon Stone, Minnie Driver, Felicity Huffman, Adrien Brody, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, Susan Sarandon, and Viola Davis. This year's article did not independently confirm who attended the 2026 suite.

French perfume houses L'Entropiste, Betenoir, and Masqly exhibited. Japanese skincare brand Nursery also took part; its CEO was on site, and the company gave guests its unscented cleansing balm. Dubois said she wanted the suite to have a French "savoir-faire" emphasis.

Travel promotions included a stay at Relais & Châteaux's Le Taha'a by Pearl Resorts in French Polynesia and mention of The Bloody Mary, a Bora Bora property scheduled to open Oct. 1. Chefs identified as Julie and Mathias served a French buffet. Selected guests received a "Hollywood Dog Bag" with pet products from Stella & Chewy's, Charlie Bear, Natoo Petfood, Backyard Balcony, Jolly Pets, Loving Pets, 3 Dog Bakery, BetterBone, and PuppyFades by Homeboy.
