Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel

Most would know that the Beverly Wilshire is famous as the location of the 'Pretty Woman' movie, but that's a very small part of what this hotel is about. On the back of your room key is printed 'Welcome Home', and that is the real essence of what the Beverly Wilshire is. They have a culture that exists throughout all the staff to sincerely welcome all their guests for their stay, and to ensure that every guest feels not only that the hotel is sophisticated and professional, but also warm and welcoming - their home away from home. A central part of the hotel is THE Blvd restaurant, which consists of an inside area as you'd expect, but also an outside area that faces onto Wilshire Boulevard, the latter being especially popular for breakfast. Every part of THE Blvd blends with the overall charm and atmosphere of the hotel, and the available food ranges from casual style snacks through to sophisticated crafted meals. There are several other restaurants and bars in the hotel as well, each with their own characteristics and their own appeal. The location of the hotel is also a focal point, on Wilshire Boulevard at the bottom of Rodeo Drive, so designer shopping is right on the doorstep. For a stay in Beverly Hills, for us there is no choice other than the Beverly Wilshire. Highly recommended.

I enjoyed my stay at the Beverly Wilshire. I was very impressed by everyone on the Concierge team as they curated all of my excursions, lunches and dinners. They also helped me secure a beautiful arrangement of flowers and caviar for one of my best clients. I will stay at this hotel every time I am in LA because of the excellence staff.

Excellent Four Seasons service. Enjoyed the location. Slightly touristy and maybe a bit on the tourist prices side, but can’t beat four seasons consistency and small touches. We enjoyed the newly renovated Beverly Suite in the second tower of the hotel.

Both check in and check out where the only parts of this hotel that went smoothly and as planned. On checking in to our room we were placed in an incredibly noisy small room next to an elevator and over looking the skip area of the hotel. The room was cold, uninviting and much to my disbelief, without a Mini Bar/Fridge. When asking where the fridge is a maintenance person then arrived with a huge 6 foot fridge which leaked coolant onto the carpet. Considering it was late at night, I couldn’t be bothered to argue this issue until the morning where we then decided to change rooms due to the horrendous disturbance of the noisy elevator. Breakfast was extremely expensive, multiple waiters serving our table and the orders were not correct. For a standard two person breakfast, 2 orange juice and 2 coffees - Beware you’ll not see any change out of $200! Pool area is over crowded, untidy and the gym area is tired, lacking facilities and just not up to Four Seasons standards. It’s clear that the hotel is past its prime - you are paying for the history rather than anything else and this is possibly why come December 25, this hotel is no longer owned by Four Seasons. We even spent most of our time at The Maybourne round the corner which we wished we had stayed at. Don’t waste your time and money here.

We stayed at this wonderful hotel 20 - 28 March in Suite 1177. The suite was situated in sunny position allowing us to enjoy the large balcony on returns from days out. The bed was extremely comfortable and it was great to have a chaise longue in the bedroom and a sofa in the sitting room so that we could both stretch out and read. We ate several times at the Blvd Restaurant and Cut both situated in the hotel. The staff in this hotel were outstanding and went out of their way to make our stay truly memorable. A special thanks to the GM Reed Kandalaft and his team, Victoria, Summer, Abbie, Gio and Seth who in, particular, sorted out restaurant bookings, 6 hour limo excursions and all sorts of things which made our stay seamless. Thank you everyone from the Charts.
