Nestled in lush gardens, the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel, or "Pink Palace," offers luxurious accommodations and a taste of Hollywood history.
"The Beverly Hills Hotel is the most famous hotel in Los Angeles. In fact, it even existed before Beverly Hills did: it was built by a wealthy widow Margaret Anderson and her son in 1912—two years before the neighborhood was officially incorporated, and just as the Golden Age of Hollywood began. Fred Astaire read the Hollywood Reporter by the pool, and Gloria Swanson rented a bungalow during her divorce. Elizabeth Taylor, meanwhile, spent six of her honeymoons there. Today, the Beverly Hills hotel retains much of its old-school magic: their iconic banana leaf wallpaper still lines the wall and pink-striped cabanas still sit at the pool. Well-dressed patrons still sit outside at the Polo Lounge and order their famous McCarthy chopped salad. Yet their guest rooms are all very much up-to-date with the latest technology, featuring modern art and sleek interiors." - Elise Taylor

"The Beverly Hills Hotel - Three Keys Beverly Hills The Pink Palace has, in true Hollywood fashion, had some work done; nothing shocking, just a hundred-million-dollar renovation in an effort to stay competitive with a new generation. It’s a success—this place could have slid gently into self-parody, but it’s every bit as fine as when Marilyn Monroe and Yves Montand stayed here (ostensibly separately) in 1960." - The MICHELIN Guide
