The Beverly Hills Hotel

One of L.A.’s most enduring icons is this stately, pale-pink Five-Star hotel on Sunset Boulevard. The Beverly Hills Hotel has been attracting guests (famous and not) since 1912, and its star power is by no means fading. While celebrities love the hotel for its luscious private bungalows (away from the lens of the paparazzi), the rest of us love the tropical gardens (gorgeous) and the retro-style pool (so movie-star chic). Bathed in soft hues, guest rooms are kitted out in unique English furniture and marble baths. Once you’ve fully reveled in the extra-comfy beds, make your way to the famous Polo Lounge, which still buzzes with handshakes and business deals, or Bar Nineteen12, which has turned into a place to party with the beautiful and affluent.
