quote:

The pedigree of the Beverly Hills Hotel is impossible to match: It is literally the centerpiece around which the entire city of Beverly Hills was built. From its opening in 1912 to the present day, few hotels have attracted more celebrities and foreign dignitaries (or more delicious scandals). Sunset Boulevard wouldn’t be the same without these Mission-style pink towers, gracefully lined with palms. Accommodations at the Pink Palace (as it is known) range from individual guest rooms and suites to private bungalows on the hotel grounds. The décor is understated and sophisticated, with shades of beige and accents of grey and subtle reds. Gilded mirrors, plush ottomans and perfectly draped bed curtains complete the picture of effortless chic. Many of the larger suites and bungalows include working fireplaces, individual private pools and Jacuzzis. Don’t miss cocktail hour at the Polo Lounge. Deals are made and dashed as power brokers nosh on Polo’s signature chips and guacamole, while live piano music or jazz sets the mood. John Travolta and Paul McCartney are among the long list of A-listers who have wheeled and dealed here.
