The Beverly Wilshire, Beverly Hills

Formerly known as the Regent Beverly Wilshire, this legendary and iconic hotel, of ‘Pretty Woman’ fame, blends romance, tradition and grandeur with contemporary design and an unrivalled location in the heart of Beverly Hills, just steps from the renowned shops of Rodeo Drive.

Fresh from a recent refurbishment, the 395 contemporary guest rooms and suites are spacious and stylish, with luxurious Italian marble bathrooms, many with spectacular views of Rodeo Drive, the city skyline and the Hollywood Hills.

The hotel’s Spa is the perfect place to refresh your senses after a long-haul flight – choose from an array of indulgent massages and treatments using aromatherapy oils and marine and plant extracts.

Decadently comfortable Moroccan day beds adorn the poolside – a welcoming sight after a hard day’s shopping! For that little extra indulgence, you can even rent your own private poolside cabana – with flat-screen television, use of a personal iPod and a relaxing foot massage! There is also a fitness centre which overlooks the pool deck.

The place ‘to see and be seen’, ‘The Blvd’ offers sophisticated all day dining overlooking the fashionable intersection of Wilshire Boulevard and Rodeo Drive. The outdoor patio is ideal for people-watching! Come the evening, the hotel’s sleek restaurant ‘CUT’, a contemporary twist on the classic steakhouse, is one of Beverly Hill’s most fashionable eateries. There are also two stylish lounge and bar areas, where you can enjoy a relaxing cocktail or glass of wine at the end of the day – and a pool bar and café.
