Fodor's Expert Review Beverly Hills Hotel

9641 Sunset Blvd., Beverly Hills, California, 90210, USA

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.
