Beverly Center

Beverly Center at 8500 Beverly Blvd in the Beverly Grove area of Los Angeles, California, is an eight-level mall near the border with West Hollywood and Beverly Hills. Anchored by Macy's and Bloomingdale's, it combines department stores with a mix of mid-range and luxury brands, including fashion, beauty, footwear, jewelry and accessories, along with a cinema and a range of restaurants. The center is enclosed and is known for its rooftop terrace, which offers views of the city and the Hollywood Hills. All stores sell authentic first-party goods, so there is no tourist-trinket or counterfeit concern. Prices are fixed and bargaining is not customary; department stores offer seasonal sales, and all major cards and mobile payments are accepted. California sales tax is added at the register, and there is no general tax-refund scheme for visitors. Dining includes a food court, casual restaurants, cafes and a terrace dining area. The atmosphere is that of a conventional indoor mall in a glamorous neighborhood, with a mix of locals, hotel guests and tourists; weekends and evenings are busier, and weekday mornings are calm. Typical hours are Monday to Saturday from about 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM and Sunday from about 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Parking is in the on-site garage, which is multilevel and can be confusing to navigate, so visitors should note their level. Cedars-Sinai Medical Center is across the street, and The Grove and Melrose Avenue are a short drive away. The center is a practical choice on hot or rainy days when open-air malls are less comfortable.
