A Favorite Hollywood Star Escape: Beverly Hills Hotel
Lily Pond Approved
The iconic red carpet entrance to the hotel.
Live like Hollywood royalty at what has been the favorite spot of Hollywood’s biggest stars for over a century – The Beverly Hills Hotel. This iconic property combines vintage glamour with modern luxury in a way that evokes the history of the location with all the fine details necessary for the modern guest to enjoy their stay.
The Hotel
Guests of the hotel are surrounded by 12 acres of lush, tropical gardens filled with banana trees and exotic flowers. The hotel border is lined with iconic LA palm trees standing proud against the bright blue sky. All this is in the center of the hustle and bustle of the city. Fondly referred to as the “Pink Palace”, the city of Beverly Hills was built around the pink hotel that existed long before the city did.
Rooms
The timeless luxury of the hotel accompanied by the rich Hollywood history is what keeps drawing guests back to experience a glimpse of celebrity life – from the likes of Marylin Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor to Beyoncé. Guests will find themselves reminiscing over Hollywood’s Golden Age in rooms with décor inspired by the era. While accommodations in the main house draw inspiration from LA’s sparkling elegance, the bungalows draw in the lush landscape. There are many different suites, rooms, and bungalows to choose from with unique décor and amenities.
The Pool
An icon in and of itself, the pool is open from 7 am to 10 pm daily and guests are always in good company. When it first opened in 1938, it was complete with sand to make it feel like a true beach club. Money movies have been filmed here over the years, The Beatles had a private pool party here, and Leonard Bernstein thought up West Side Story in cabana 3. The 11 poolside cabanas offer privacy and bright pink accented décor and are fresh from a top-to-bottom update from the team that recently updated the hotel’s signature bungalows. Fun fact: the cabanas use the same “Martinique” banana leaf wallpaper as the hotel, done in a special pink colorway (the hotel uses green) – the first time the hotel has installed this iconic wallpaper since it was originally added to the hotel in the 1940s.
Dine
From the Polo Lounge to the Cabana Café and Fountain Coffee Room, there’s an option for every occasion. The Polo Lounge, once described as “Hollywood’s commissary”, has a candy-striped ceiling and has been a favorite of Hollywood stars for generations. The Polo Patio is gorgeous. The Fountain Coffee Room is an iconic diner that has been serving since 1949. Guns N’ Roses were signed at this counter, and you never know who you may be dining next to. The famous silver dollar pancakes are served fresh off the griddle, and orange juice (or a made-to-order choice) is squeezed freshly right in front of you. The Cabana Café is a casual, fresh dining experience in a picture-perfect setting overlooking the pool.
