Beverly Hills Hotels
• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide for Beverly Hills, California.
Surrounded entirely by the urban sprawl of Greater Los Angeles, Beverly Hills is a posh, refined city within a city that is known for its palm tree-lined streets, famous residents and luxury shopping—particularly on the world-famous Rodeo Drive. Gaining notoriety from TV shows like the Beverly Hillbillies and Beverly Hills 90210, the city has been a popular tourist spot since the 1950s when visitors started flocking here in in the hopes of catching even just a glimpse of how the rich and famous live.
Located in between the seaside city of Santa Monica and both Hollywood and central Los Angeles, Beverly Hills is a convenient—albeit pricey— place for LA tourists to stay. It is bisected by two famous streets—Sunset Boulevard and Santa Monica Boulevard—making it an easy location transportation-wise. There is also plenty to do in this busy area, with shopping centers, restaurants and bars aplenty occupying the streets of downtown Beverly Hills. Those planning on staying a night or two will find a range of accommodation options here.
ICONIC BEVERLY HILLS
If there is one location that sums up the essence of Beverly Hills perfectly, it’s the Beverly Hills Hotel, located away from the hustle and bustle of the shopping district off of Sunset Boulevard near the Will Rogers Memorial Park. This grand and iconic landmark stands out in the Los Angeles landscape not just because of its pink exterior but because it’s been an important meeting place for movie execs, Hollywood stars and other notable people since its inception in 1912. The hotel offers over 200 lushly-appointed guest rooms, plus dozens of private bungalows. Tropical gardens and a retro pool complete the experience, while the restaurants and bars are always buzzing with a certain energy that’s hard to find anywhere else. Of course, all this comes at a price, which ranges from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars per night.
THE CENTRAL CORE
While the Beverly Hills Hotel is a little removed from the bustle of this area, most hotels are situated in the heart of things, near the shops and restaurants of Wiltshire and Santa Monica Boulevards. The Montage Beverly Hills on North Canon Drive offers similar luxury—and a similar price—to the Beverly Hills Hotel while boasting a luxurious Spanish Colonial atmosphere with a deluxe on-site spa. The nearby Luxe Rodeo Drive provides a fantastic location right on the famed shopping street itself and a slightly (but only very slightly) more affordable price tag.
Other great options? Maison 140, near the intersection of Sunset and Santa Monica Boulevards, is a plush boutique hotel that combine influences from Europe and the Far East to create a unique experience and the nearby Mosaic Hotel is an elegant alternative that is more affordable than most other Beverly Hills hotels. In the east part of Beverly Hills stands L'Ermitage, a luxury hotel on a quiet, private residential street.
On a budget? Finding an economically priced place to stay in Beverly Hills can be tough but there are some less-expensive options. The Avalon Hotel, situated south of the famed “Golden Triangle” is a boutique hotel with prices that won’t take guests' breath away, while hotel chains like Crowne Plaza and other recognized names have reasonably priced accommodations in this wealthy part of town.
