L'Ermitage Beverly Hills

This is my go to hotel when I'm in BH, it's centrally located and the staff is beyond helpful the only issue I had was I tried to get the house car to take me a mile away and also asked to be picked up but the car was never available otherwise I have zero issues with this hotel.

Beautiful hotel with spacious room, particularly a massive dressing room + bathroom. The staff is amazing and very attentive. A minor issue is my room wasn't ready when I got there, and I have to wait almost an hour for my room. However, I did get an hour late check out, so I guess it balanced out.

The rooms at this hotel are beautiful, roomy and calm. The staff is amazing particularly the valet, breakfast and doormen staff.

The hotel is boutique luxury, discrete and well appointed. Each staff member makes L'ermitage a "home away from home." They truly are a talented team with an abundancy of hospitality experience. You won't be disappointed!

This month I enjoyed 2 short but very sweet staycations at the L'Ermitage Beverly Hills. They were my first stays here, although the hotel has been on my radar for awhile. The hotel is situated on Burton Way, a wide (there's a landscaped centre road median) but residential road just east of City Hall and the main shopping district (ie, Rodeo Drive). The main reasons for my staycations was to dine at several buzzy restaurants--Funke, Monsieur Dior by Dominque Crenn, 88 Club and A.O.C. All are within walking distance of the hotel. The Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills is on the corner of Doheny Drive and Burton Way, a few blocks east of L'Ermitage and just beyond the Beverly Hills city border. The L'Ermitage has a disposition of quiet luxury. It began life as a residential building in 1975 before being converted into a luxury hotel. It looks very similar to the many residential buildings surrounding it, masking the hotel's understated elegance inside. I actually drove past it on my second visit. For both my visits a gentleman named Lucky assisted me at the front desk. Kudos to him. The rooms I was assigned were either Classic or Deluxe Classic Suites, the hotel's "smallest" rooms, although they really are Suites, starting at 650 square feet. The suites were similar but not identical. Both had spacious main rooms with a large sitting area, desk, fully stocked minibar and a balcony. The bathrooms were equally large with separate tub and shower. Between the bedroom and bathroom was an impressive dressing area with a vanity with adjustable lighting, a triptych (3-panel) mirror 2 large closets and a coffeemaker. The furnishings, decor and light switches were a little old-school, but still luxurious. Turndown service was classic old-school luxury. Both suites faced Burton Way, which can have some traffic noise. My second suite was in the same alcove as the guest elevators, which was not ideal, noise-wise. On the 8th (top floor) is a fairly large fitness centre and some spa treatment rooms. There's apparently a salon onsite as well. On the roof is a nice pool, a large terrace for private events, and a pool-adjacent restaurant, Poza, which apparently was recently redone. Note you must take stairs to reach the roof, but there may be an elevator that was not immediately visible. I visited both of the hotel's restaurants, Poza and the all-day ground floor Costa Covo Osteria, both were reviewed separately. I also used the hotel's car service to take me to 88 Club and A.O.C. restaurants, although I walked back from both. Fun note--one of the drivers is also one of the concierges. Overall I enjoyed wonderfully sumptuous stays at this "hidden gem" "tucked away" in Beverly Hills, close to but not in the line of fire of all the "action".
