The Pink Palace as it’s known for its striking pink interior and exterior is situated at the epicenter of Beverly Hills near three of the city’s most famous streets: Rodeo Drive, Sunset Boulevard and Beverly Drive. The world-famous pool area is effortlessly chic, surrounded by lush palm trees, crisp white umbrellas and private cabanas.”
Bungalow 22
The Palm Springs aesthetic, strong, fresh design and a octagonal ceiling make this 1,655-sq.ft. bungalow a favorite.. A mid-century playbook of style with custom-made furniture, an incredible terrace fireplace and, of course, the grand piano.

2. The Maybourne Beverly Hills
Conde Nast Traveler writes, “Opulence commingles with a breezy coastal vibe in the newly refurbished lobby. It’s not unusual to experience celebrity sightings on the Terrace, where agents from the nearby buildings mix with a well-heeled jet set crowd. Sipping on the perfect gin martini from The Connaught—the sister property from Across the Pond—while gazing out at the plaza’s oversize fountain, you’d swear that you were in Europe, but the pooches in Prada are a dead giveaway that you’re most definitely in Beverly Hills.”
Presidential Suite
The 2,085-sq.ft. Presidential Suite includes expansive living space with baby grand piano, fireplace, separate dining area, private study and butler’s pantry with a kitchen.

3. The Peninsula Beverly Hills
The Telegraph says, “Tucked away behind tall trees sheltering it from the busy street beyond, arriving at this Renaissance-style building is like entering a luxurious oasis of calm, with an ornate fountain surrounded by flowers and a fleet of parked supercars greeting you as you pull up. Step inside the lobby and it’s no less grand, with marble tiled floors, chandeliers and over-the-top floral arrangements. The hotel’s winding walkways are lined with palm and lemon trees, giving it the feel of an elegant European garden.”
The Peninsula Suite
The 2,250-sq.ft. suite features a dining room seating 10, a wood-carved fireplace, full kitchen and terrace.

4. Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills
Conde Nast Traveler says, “The Art Deco-inspired lobby was bustling with a full range of well-heeled out-of-towners and locals—young couples in artfully ripped jeans and Common Projects sneakers, hot shot agents in suits talking on cell phones, and meticulously maintained ladies in head-to-toe Chanel on their way to lunch. Of course there is a Bijan boutique in the lobby, which tells you everything you need to know about this instant Beverly Hills hotspot.”
Presidential Penthouse Suite
Floor-to-ceiling windows provide views of Beverly Hills the 3,215-sq.ft. Presidential Penthouse Suite. The terraces add 1,459-sq.ft. for outdoor enjoyment.

It’s roughly a 15-minute walk to Rodeo Drive. The country’s only hotel Upgrade Labs — Bulletproof Coffee founder Dave Asprey’s futuristic gym and longevity facility — offers high-tech treatments like cryotherapy, EEG Brain Training, IV nutrient infusions, state-of-the-art workout equipment and more.”

7. Four Seasons Hotel Beverly Hills
The Telegraph reports, “This luxury-drenched property is a Tinseltown favorite. Its ‘power lunch’ history and established residence for hosting movie junkets ensures celebrity sightings, if that’s a priority. The glam hotel seduces with sweeping LA views from high floors, an outdoor pool oasis and busy restaurant.”
Presidential Suite East

8. L’Ermitage Beverly Hills
Conde Nast Traveler writes, “Originally built in 1975 to be condos, this tucked-away Beverly Hills building eventually became the first all-suite hotel in the U.S.—a distinction that earned it near-instant patronage from the celeb set. For years, the five-star hotel drew the Hollywood crowd with its legendary attention to detail and privacy, until hard times hit in the 1990s. Following extensive renovations, the place was relaunched under various brands (including Raffles). Today, the hotel that hosted Rod Stewart’s wedding and Brooke Shield’s 18th birthday party still sits on a quiet, tree-lined street and has an understated, elegant vibe—along with the modern touches required by contemporary jetsetters.”
L’Ermitage Suite
The 3,700-sq.ft. suite includes a foyer with marble fireplace, a spacious lounge for groups, and a separate dining room for 12. The fully equipped kitchen includes Miele appliances and is perfect for group catering or a private chef.

9. SLS Hotel Beverly Hills
Forbes Travel Guide says, “Located at the crossroads of Beverly Hills and the La Cienega corridor, this luxury hotel is ideal for exploring some of the City of Angels’ most sizzling scenes. Between the car valet and the reception lobby is a fun outdoor space filled with whimsical furniture, massive vases, lamps made from antlers and a fireplace. Gather here for an informal conversation or a great photo backdrop. The 2,500-square-foot fitness center with brand-new Technogym equipment and a Peloton bike is open 24 hours, just in case you need to work off that indulgent night out.”

10. Hotel Bel-Air
Conde Nast Traveler says, “Tucked away from the city in the hills of Bel-Air amid a 12-acre garden, the hotel is the very definition of exclusivity. The hotel has almost just as many suites (45) as it does guest rooms (58)—the smallest of which is still a pretty sizable 450 square feet. Designed by Alexandra Champalimaud, who also oversaw a full overhaul of the lobby and spa in 2012, the rooms are airy, with a tasteful and somewhat muted palette (brown, white, beige, gold). Feminine yet unfussy, these are definitely rooms you want to linger in and return to at the end of the day.”
Presidential Suite
The expansive 2,265-sq.ft. Presidential Suite features your own private terrace, full size pool and plenty of indoor space, including full living room with grand piano and dining room that seats 10.

11. Fairmont Century Plaza
Conde Nast Traveler says, “After a $2.5 billion renovation, Los Angeles’ iconic Century Plaza has reopened as a Fairmont—and added to its star-studded history the amenities today’s L.A. crowd chases, from a rooftop pool and a spa that offers biohacking treatments, to a Parisian-esque patisserie for power-lunching entertainment industry types.”
Directors Suite
The 1,450-sq.ft. Directors Suite on the 11th floor offers an open floor plan living room, dining tab le for six and three balconies, enabling receptions for up to 20 guests.
