Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons Hotel, Los Angeles
More photosThe Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel, is a legendary landmark that has anchored the corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Rodeo Drive since 1928. Originally built by developer Walter G. McCarty on the site of a former auto racetrack, the hotel has spent nearly a century hosting Hollywood’s elite, politicians, and travelers alike. Its storied past is perhaps most famous for serving as the primary filming location for the 1990 classic Pretty Woman.
The property is a masterclass in architectural evolution, blending Italian Renaissance style with French neo-classical influences. A standout feature is the grand arrival experience: guests enter via El Camino Real, a cobblestone driveway lined with antique gaslight lanterns imported directly from a castle in Edinburgh. Inside, the hotel balances its historic charm with modern luxury, including a Mediterranean-style pool modeled after one at Sophia Loren’s Italian villa.
Dining is a major draw, headlined by CUT by Wolfgang Puck, a Michelin-starred steakhouse. The restaurant is as much an art gallery as it is a dining destination, featuring an impressive collection of contemporary works. Guests also love the convenience of the hotel’s “honesty bar” and the serene spa, which offers unique treatments like aromatherapy crystal steam rooms.
Beyond the lobby, you are in the heart of Beverly Hills luxury. Iconic Rodeo Drive shopping is right outside the door, while cultural landmarks like the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures and the lush Greystone Mansion are just a short drive away. It remains the ultimate home base for experiencing classic Hollywood glamour.
Expert reviews
“The Beverly Wilshire is as close to a European grand dame as you’ll find in L.A.—with impeccable service to match. It was good enough for Elvis and the British Royal Family, and exists in triumphant opposition to the informal, minimal lobbies sprouting up across the city.”

On the whole it was an enjoyable stay
Bfast was good
Location couldnt be better
Staff very friendly
I had my laundry done unfortunately the service did not reach my expectations. My items came back rather wrinkled and the folding was so bad that I had iron them.
We ordered a charcuterie board, the arrandement of the items were not very inviting especially the meats - the colour was off

Best experience over all 💯 on 100
Over all experience was very good , staff was humble & also suggested few routes to travel at my end destination in order to avoid traffic and also they upgraded my room as I was travelling alone for work
With the cost I paid bf was not available that was the only drawback

Love it, I'll be back
Excellent location, superb room, clean and nice turndown service
The concierge could have been friendlier, seemingly a little uppity to me 2 of 3 times though I was very polite in my requests.

Amazing! Would definitely recommend and stay again!
Very friendly staff, nice restaurants, spacious and nicely decorated rooms
It would have been nice if the pool was open later or if these was a hot tub to use

Beautiful stay in a gorgeous and historic hotel
Everything about the hotel is immaculate. The room was enormous with an incredible view, the staff were incredibly kind and thoughtful, and our stay was wonderful from start to finish. Impeccable cleanliness, delicious food. There is nothing I wouldn't recommend about the Beverly Wilshire.
Nothing at all.

Room feels like home, best location, and best staff
Great location, extraordinary staff, very comfortable, clean, and spacious room.
Overnight parking is overpriced for hotel guests. And it should be considered in the room fees for such prestigious hotel and not paid separately. And the swimming pool was very dirty with leaves and dirt, and there were dining menus and papers and towels at the bottom of the pool.

Enjoyed my stay, superb customer service, a few areas for improvement.
The location was good, while the staff and cleanliness were among the best I have experienced.
It was disappointing that breakfast was only available as a la carte service from the restaurant, and that it was not included with the booking, unlike other five star hotel brands at a similar price point around the world.
In addition the spa did not have a sauna, only a steam room. This was unlike other 5 star hotels.

A place to create wonderful memories
Staff were fabulous, especially Alex (part of the reception team) and Leo (concierge team) they were so helpful and kind. Food was really lovely, portion sizes huge though! great choice of restaurants with outdoor seating too either on the Boulevard or by the pool. Room was very spacious and clean with all amenities you would expect of this class of hotel. Would highly recommend
There was nothing really to dislike, everyone was so friendly, kind and helpful. My only observation would be the portion sizes of the food, don't like waste so advise to order appetisers or to share or be very hungry when you order!

Hotel Indigo Downtown, Los Angeles
The Hotel Indigo Los Angeles Downtown is a striking urban retreat designed by the architecture firm Gensler. Located within the modern Metropolis development, it serves as a creative anchor that pays homage to the city’s past. Its design concept is deeply rooted in the "pre-Hollywood" entertainment era of the late 1800s and early 1900s, blending stories of underground speakeasies, the local La Fiesta de las Flores parade, and the birth of the movie industry into its aesthetic.
Lonely Planet“This freshly minted, 350-room property celebrates Downtown’s colorful backstory: wagon-shaped lobby lights pay tribute to the Fiesta de Las Flores, blown-up paparazzi shots around the elevators nod to vaudeville and early movie days.”
Mama Shelter Hotel, Los Angeles
Mama Shelter Los Angeles, located in the heart of Hollywood, brought the brand’s signature "urban refuge" concept to the United States for the first time. Founded by the Trigano family—the same duo behind the iconic Club Med—the hotel is designed to be a playful, inclusive sanctuary. The interiors, overseen by the Mama Design Studio, are famous for their quirky, eclectic style, featuring everything from graffiti-laden ceilings and chalkboard art to oversized, comfortable sofas that encourage socializing.
New York Times + 3 more“For a nontraditional Los Angeles hotel, you really can’t go wrong with Mama Shelter. The friendly staff was a huge plus, as its infectious enthusiasm set a welcoming tone throughout the property.”
