The Beverly Hills Hotel, known affectionately as the "Pink Palace," is the most storied hotel in Los Angeles — a 1912 landmark wrapped in pink stucco and set among twelve acres of tropical gardens on Sunset Boulevard. For over a century it has hosted Hollywood royalty, with its private garden bungalows, the famous Polo Lounge restaurant, the palm-lined pool, and an air of discreet, old-school glamour. Part of the Dorchester Collection, it's the definitive choice for travelers who want classic Beverly Hills luxury and Hollywood history.
Opened in 1912 — predating the city of Beverly Hills itself — the Beverly Hills Hotel is the icon of Old Hollywood hospitality, its pink-and-green Mission Revival buildings and signature script sign among the most recognizable in Los Angeles. Set on twelve lushly landscaped acres along Sunset Boulevard, it has been a haunt of film stars, moguls, and celebrities for generations, woven deeply into Hollywood lore.
Its character lives in its details
The private garden bungalows tucked among the foliage (long favored by stars seeking discretion), the legendary Polo Lounge restaurant and the Fountain Coffee Room, the banana-leaf-wallpapered hallways, and the palm-fringed pool that has hosted decades of poolside glamour. Rooms and suites are classically elegant, and the service is polished and discreet. As a Dorchester Collection property, it sits firmly at the top of the luxury market, with rates to match.
The location is prime Beverly Hills — on Sunset Boulevard, a short drive from Rodeo Drive's shopping, the Westside, and Hollywood. The Beverly Hills Hotel suits travelers seeking a legendary, full-service luxury experience steeped in Hollywood history, who value timeless glamour and privacy over contemporary minimalism.
