The Peninsula Beverly Hills
A timeless stay in the heart of L.A.
While the Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star Peninsula Beverly Hills is known for its old-school attention to service like monogrammed pillows on the bed, it also delivers of-the-moment details, such as the in-room technology centers that control the lighting.
It also delivers on amenities. On the roof garden, a 60-foot pool offers skyline vistas and cabanas — equipped with Apple TVs, charging stations, Wi-Fi and a seasonal fruit plate — can be transformed into offices or massage treatment spaces. A secluded spa provides seven treatment rooms and a host of services, ranging from Biologique Recherche facials to reflexology massages.
When you need a meal, try European brasserie The Belvedere. The hotel's Living Room, located just beyond the lobby and entrance, is a see-and-be-seen spot for Hollywood's power elite, who come for the superlative afternoon tea or to take over the comfortable, overstuffed couches for evening cocktails.
