3 Best Hotels in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles

Nicknamed the "Pink Palace," this luxury spot with giant marble bathrooms continues to attract Hollywood's elite after more than 100 years. Celebrity guests favor the private bungalows; others come for the royal treatment by staff. Standard rooms house original artwork, custom-made linens and duvets, and walk-in closets. The hotel's swanky day spa specializes in de-aging treatments, while the Polo Lounge remains an iconic Hollywood meeting place and Bar Nineteen 12 serves swanky sips. The pool (complete with a lifeguard and swim lessons for kids) features cabanas and the Cabana Cafe, popular on warm L.A. afternoons. Canine guests are also pampered here; 24-hour dog-walking service is available.

Home to the Golden Globe Awards, the Beverly Hilton is glitzy and polished, offering spectacular views of Beverly Hills and sizeable balconies in many rooms. In-room bathrooms feel expansive thanks to an opaque glass wall that faces the room and sliding door. Furnishings include versatile leather-top work desks with chairs that swivel to the side. Flat-screen TVs are standard in every room. The iconic pool offers guests an array of bites and drinks while Circa 55 is the hotel's mid-century, modern-styled rooftop restaurant serving California cuisine.

Retreat to this quiet and artful oasis steps from UCLA, where you can find a cabana-lined pool and sleek lounge, two on-site restaurants with regional cuisine, and a spa that serves brownies and champagne post-massage. This all-suites hotel aims to bring the outdoors in, with mirrors depicting gown-wearing models submerged in the sea, photos of L.A. traffic, and fog-hued interiors. All suites are sizable, and bigger suites include offices and sitting areas. The fern and palm tree-hugged pool area is the place to be on Sunday in summer, when free pool parties lure the young and beautiful locals to line up for free yoga, followed by fruity cocktails.
