The Peninsula Beverly Hills

The Peninsula Beverly Hills is a five-star luxury hotel at 9882 S Santa Monica Blvd in Beverly Hills, California. The address sits close to Rodeo Drive, Century City and the Beverly Hills business district, with Wilshire Boulevard's department stores and galleries a short distance away. Most visitors reach attractions by car, though the hotel's famous Rolls-Royce airport transfer service and a concierge team ease the logistics for guests arriving at Los Angeles International Airport. The hotel is built in a low-rise, Mediterranean-inspired style, with landscaped gardens, fountains and a classic, residential feel that contrasts with the glass towers of Downtown Los Angeles. Accommodation includes Deluxe Rooms, Premier Rooms and freestanding garden villas, which offer greater privacy and are among the property's most distinctive features. Rates generally run from about $900 to $1,800 per night plus taxes, placing it among the highest-priced hotels in Los Angeles. Dining is a major part of the experience, with restaurants, a lounge and afternoon service that attract both guests and Beverly Hills locals, and breakfast is considered a ritual for many visitors. The rooftop pool and its cabanas provide the main leisure setting, backed by a spa and fitness centre. Service is formal and attentive, with a large concierge and butler-style staff that arrange reservations, shopping appointments, private transport and entertainment access. The hotel suits honeymooners, celebrants, business travellers on high budgets and families who want the space of a villa, and it is generally well suited to guests who value privacy and consistent service. Visitors who simply want to see the hotel can usually do so by booking a table at one of the restaurants, but non-guest access to the pool and spa is restricted. Advance reservations are strongly advised for dining at weekends and during the awards season, when the surrounding area fills with industry visitors and rates rise sharply.
