The Peninsula Beverly Hills is almost impossibly opulent, even by Hollywood standards, a dressed-up Renaissance mansion in a deeply casual town. This hotel is a favorite of industry bigwigs, offering Hong Kong–style amenities that almost seem custom-designed for high-powered and impatient executives, like mobile phones in addition to room phones, and a complimentary car service featuring nothing less than a Rolls Royce.
If the smell of Hollywood power means anything to you, then you’ll have fun eavesdropping at the rooftop pool deck—and if not, the hotel itself is impressive enough, irrespective of its clientele. The Frette-sheeted beds are almost too comfortable to consider crawling out of, and why bother when the entire room is controlled by a bedside panel, from the climate control to the ‘do not disturb’ sign. Perhaps it could be voice-activated, but that’s probably going too far. And the business center is likely better than your office, not least for its proximity to The Belvedere, one of LA’s classic power lunch destinations.
The rooftop spa and pool deck, with their sprawling views of Century City, occupy the real estate usually devoted to penthouse suites. What’s a VIP to do? Thankfully, nestled amidst the lush gardens of the hotel grounds are a number of private villas, complete with fireplaces—and for the CEO in your life there’s always the sprawling two-bedroom Peninsula Villa.
One more luxury makes the Peninsula worth the price, this one quite sensible indeed: the 24-hour check-out policy. Check in, say, at 11pm, perhaps after a late flight; stay until 11pm the next night. Why is this not the norm in all hotels?
