The Peninsula Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, United States
The Peninsula Beverly Hills 5 Stars
"The Peninsula is a fine old grand dame in Beverly Hills that attracts a glamorous crowd, not least for its renowned restaurant, The Belvedere."
Hotel Overview
Review of The Peninsula Beverly Hills, by Daniel Scott
It is wall-to-wall celebrities at this Peninsula sibling, even if its French renaissance style frontage marks it out as a very different kind of property from other hotels in this area. The Peninsula Beverly Hills nearly lives up to the standards of the chain’s Hong Kong flagship.
True, the grandness of this Peninsula on Santa Monica Boulevard does make it feel a little remote, and the feverish Hollywood deal-making going on throughout its public areas is irritating. But the hotel positives weigh heavier, from notable touches like pillow cases monogrammed with guests’ initials to the hotel’s exceptionally helpful concierge.
The rooms are pretty too, dominated by king-sized beds draped in luxurious linen and chock-full of useful technology. If you want to feel you have arrived LA-style then take a dip in the open-air rooftop pool with the Hollywood Hills looming in the background.
