Opened in 1993, The Peninsula Beverly Hills has become a favourite for families and followers of the Hong Kong-based hotel company. The Pen has 195 guestrooms with 38 suites and 17 villas. The Peninsula experience begins at LAX where your airport limousine could be a Peninsula-green Rolls-Royce. You are swept to through to Santa Monica Boulevard (15 minutes from Rodeo Drive) where white capped uniformed bellmen usher you through the Lobby to your guestroom. The exterior of the hotel is Renaissance in design but the interior is quite contemporary – and you can expect Oscar de la Renta toiletries, state of the art technology and in suites – monogrammed pillowcases – which you are encouraged to take home with you! Lovely.

The Belvedere is The Peninsula Beverly Hills' main restaurant – serving stunning cuisine in a delightful surround. The Bar is one of those to “see and be seen”. The Roof Garden is the ideal breakfast location. The outdoor pool – complete with cabanas - overlooks the city and by night is an excellent vantage point. There is – of course – glitz and glamour at The Peninsula Beverly Hills. Every room has access to a film library that includes every Oscar winning film since 1929! So, you can watch the excellent Life of Emile Zola (1937) before you go to bed!
