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, it also delivers of-the-moment details, such as the in-room technology centers that control the lighting and ambience or the luxe Oscar de la Renta bath products.
On the roof garden, poolside cabanas — surrounded by heated limestone flooring for year-round lounging — can be transformed into offices or massage treatment spaces.
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, over stuffed couches for evening cocktails.

Our Inspector's Highlights
