The Beverly Hills Hotel
The Beverly Hills Hotel is pure Hollywood mythology, combining its pink façade, legendary bungalows, palm-framed pool and Polo Lounge into Los Angeles’ most iconic hotel experience.
The Beverly Hills Hotel has occupied 12 acres on Sunset Boulevard since 1912, becoming so closely tied to Hollywood history that the property feels more like an institution than a conventional luxury hotel.
The main house is instantly recognizable for its pink façade and Martinique banana-leaf wallpaper, while 23 private bungalows are scattered through tropical gardens for guests who want a more secluded residential experience.
Rooms and suites lean glamorous rather than minimalist, but the most memorable accommodations are the historic bungalows, several of which have long associations with actors, musicians and film-industry figures.
The palm-framed pool remains one of Los Angeles’ defining hotel scenes, while the Polo Lounge continues to function as a serious power-dining room. The Fountain Coffee Room and Cabana Cafe give the property more casual options without losing its identity.
The Beverly Hills Hotel is best for travelers who want the mythology of Los Angeles as much as luxury itself, with history, privacy and people-watching all built into the stay.
