Editorial Review for The Beverly Hills Hotel – by Ginny Chien
The Scene
Before there was a city of Beverly Hills, there was the Beverly Hills Hotel. Since opening in 1912, it has changed hands more than a dozen times (once owned by the Sultan of Brunei) and shut down twice (first during the Depression, then in 1992 for a three-year renovation). Silent-film stars like Rudolph Valentino socialized here. Ludicrously wealthy magnates like Howard Hughes signed away billion-dollar companies like TWA by the pool. Elizabeth Taylor honeymooned with six of her eight husbands in the famously private bungalows, and poolside cabanas provided Katharine Hepburn with shade and privacy.
The Details
Shamelessly decadent and glamorous, the sprawling Mission Revival-style property oozes old money--think robe-wearing cement monkeys flanking the front doors, flowing crystal chandeliers and banana palm-printed wallpaper. Some of the luxuries include outdoor swimming pool with 21 private cabanas, two outdoor tennis courts, beauty salon, men's shop and limo service.

Out of all the luxurious hotels I've stayed in, this is by far the best. The hotel staff are gracious, accommodating & not at ALL snobby. The rooms are impeccable, & while dining at the Polo Lounge I rubbed elbows with Jennifer Aniston & Vince Vaughan, back before the breakup, while they were still only a rumoured couple. I have also seen Danny Devito & Dan Akroyd having lunch together but of course would never approach them. Asking for an autograph, or sticking a camera in someone's face while they are trying to eat is beyond rude and thankfully the hotel would never tolerate that sort of behavior anyway. One thing I must mention is that during one of my stays at the BHH, I fell ill & had to go to the E.R., but my 4 year old was sleeping (it was midnight). Since the nanny service was closed, the manager sent her head of security to stay with him, at no extra cost, so that my little prince didn't have to be disturbed while I went to the E.R. I should say that I am extremely discriminating with whom I allow to babysit my child, but I have first hand knowledge of how well this hotel screens their employees, especially security. When I returned at 4 a.m. my child was still sleeping soundly & the television was turned off, the remote where I left it. The guard didn't turn on the t.v., or even a light, so as not to disturb him. I tried to tip him & the Manager but they both refused, saying that was not their way at he BHH to take advantage of a guests misfortune. Both were very kind & I certainly would never be extended this sort of kindness at a Holiday Inn or similar. I highly recommend this grand hotel to anyone hoping to experience old Hollywood style. The service is unparalleled, the decor stunning, & the food is . There isn't an amenity you can think of that they don't offer. Be sure not to miss the pool. Classical music plays softly when you dive under the water. Its not trendy (thank God) & reeks of old money. I prefer classy to trendy anyday.
Pros: Stunning Ambience, Amazing Service, Celeb-sightings for the star-struck, Limo and delivery service
Cons: Hard on the wallet

I dropped in for one night in LA and while staying at the hotel the staff wasn't very welcoming and they were a bit on the snobby side. The next morning I was planning on dining in the Polo Lounge with my husband and they recommended us NOT to go in there because we were wearing jeans, when after our breakfast downstairs in the coffee cafe we had seen 2 couples walking out of there dressed casual and in jeans. I wouldn't recommend you to stay while it's raining, the staff seems a bit more moody then than they usually do. : / well good luck with your choice, i recommend Four Seasons Beverly Hills (amazing & friendly concierge) and the new Raffles L'Ermitage Hotel.
