Picolo recommends · Hotel in Beverly Hills, California
The Beverly Hills Hotel
Pink walls behind the palms on Sunset Boulevard, bungalows in a quiet garden and the Polo Lounge, where Hollywood has done business for generations.
Turn off Sunset Boulevard and the traffic noise fades behind a wall of palms. The building is pink, the corridors are papered in green banana leaves, and paths wind through the garden to bungalows set among the trees.
At the Polo Lounge, film people have been closing deals over lunch for generations. Out by the pool, striped cabanas line the water, and the whole place feels like a set that never quite stopped filming.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose The Beverly Hills Hotel
If you want one night inside the Hollywood story, this is the address. The gardens give you real calm in the middle of Beverly Hills, and the hotel's place in film history is not marketing: it is the reason people come.
It is very expensive, and the tone is classic and a touch formal. The beach and the nightlife of West Hollywood are a drive away, so travellers who want either close at hand will be happier elsewhere.
