Fountain Coffee Room

"The Beverly Hills Hotel is a shining beacon of pastel pink luring tourists and their cameras, but while we recommend you stay far away from The Polo Lounge (the restaurant with the lowest rating in Infatuation history), the downstairs Fountain Coffee Room is another story. This 19-stool counter feels like someone dropped an old-school diner in the middle of a fancy Beverly Hills hotel. The crowd is a mix of whichever TV star is in-house on a press tour, European tourists celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary, and local rich ladies popping in for their regular breakfast of half a grapefruit and the silver dollar pancakes. Sure, the food isn’t anything particularly special (and comes at Beverly Hills prices), but for a fun breakfast in the area, this place can’t be beat." - brant cox

"The Polo Lounge might be the worst restaurant in all of Los Angeles, but if you find yourself hungry near the Beverly Hills Hotel, all is not lost. You can go to the hotel’s other famous restaurant, the more casual Fountain Room. It’s a small cafe with that leafy wallpaper you’ve seen on social media, and it has decent coffee, good pancakes, and a relaxed atmosphere that you’ll feel comfortable hanging out in for a while." - amy clark

"This place serves classic American breakfast fare, an informal lunch, and early dinners, but we usually come to this old-fashioned soda fountain for the floats, malts, and shakes. Grab a bar stool let the décor—with its signature banana-leaf wallpaper—transport you to a simpler time."
