The Peninsula Beverly Hills

Listen up — I’ve been around the block a few times. From Bayonne to Vegas, London to Cancun, I’ve stayed in some fancy places. But The Peninsula Beverly Hills? That joint just walked in and blew everything else outta the water. You pull up, and right away you know you’re dealin’ with a different league. The valet’s crisp, the lobby’s like a palace, and the scent in the air? Pure class. No cheap cologne here — this is the real deal. Rooms? Spacious like a penthouse, decked out with every comfort you didn’t even know you wanted. Bed so soft, you forget the world exists. The staff? Attentive without hoverin’—you feel respected, not stalked. And the rooftop pool? Forget about it. Views that make you wanna drop a hundred grand just to soak it all in. I brought Gionna, and even she was speechless — and that’s rare.

Everything was perfect from the moment we checked in until we checked out. The entire staff at the Peninsula went above and beyond to make sure our stay was a success. The employees at the reception desk were just as wonderful as the doormen and valet. It was almost too good to be true. Everyone was so genuinely attentive and very professional at the Peninsula. Our room was very clean. Many times as guests you have to accept that things aren't perfect, even in five star hotels but not at the Peninsula. Our room and all throughout the Peninsula, everything was super clean. They take luxury and five stars to another level. What stood out was that during our entire stay we've never seen a cleaning cart in the hallway, which never bothered us in other hotels but it added to the luxury feel at the Peninsula and the hallways are so much prettier without those carts standing around. In general the housekeeping is very detail oriented but barely noticeable. They offer turndown service which is common in luxury hotels but not always done in such a subtle way they do it at this hotel. The pool, the room, the restaurants, the facilities were all fabulous. The complimentary car service was awesome! Max is the best! We’re looking forward to our next stay!

High tea at the peninsula was exquisite again. With live harpist playing in the background, while we enjoy savory finger sandwich and sweet delectables, plus the scones are moist & perfectly crumbles in your mouth, accompanied with delicious homemade cream or lemon curd or jam. Generous pouring of champagne, as well as excellent choice of flavorful teas. Service from the moment you walk in, is absolutely excellent by each person/server. Also I’d like to say thank you to the chef/staff, as they really do listen to your request. As I’d requested for light on any cream in the sandwiches & one of my friends is gluten intolerance, yet she had nothing less than us on her tray of delectables. Excellent accommodating on all of us! Not forgetting the ambience and furniture, exquisite, elegant and immaculate. I felt like I was back in England having high tea either at the Ritz or Claridge’s again. A great place to treat oneself with friends or family.

Checked into the Peninsula Beverly Hills on a sunny afternoon, entering an experience defined by invisible excellence combined with California warmth. The location of the hotel, the proactive service philosophy and the attention to detail from leadership on down were all core elements of an excellent stay. On arrival, Rebecca greeted me with great cheer and displayed excellent advanced knowledge about the context of my stay and my preferences. Marcelo worked with her to show great attentiveness and ensured that all details were attended to. Finally, Logan showed me to the suite and ensured that I was familiar with the property. The suite was spacious, well equipped, and an excellent welcome amenity was laid out for my arrival. Little details were sorted out well, and my interactions with housekeeping showcased splendid professionalism. Every request was fulfilled with speed and thoroughness. In room and on premises dining were all top notch. From breakfast to midnight pork shumai, everything was tasty and satiating. The gym was well equipped and Dillon at the pool did a fantastic job making sure our party had all that we needed. Location, of course, is a key asset of this hotel - close to everything you need to get to in the zone, not too far from the beach club in Santa Monica and all the other places, people and things that one needs to access. California is a place firmly rooted in the now and the future - where the hallowed past is often so much set dressing, the now is a muddled work in progress and the future a continuously rewritten storyboard. Quoth Joan Didion, "California is a place in which a boom mentality and a sense of Chekhovian loss meet in uneasy suspension; in which the mind is troubled by some buried but ineradicable suspicion that things better work here, because here, beneath the immense bleached sky, is where we run out of continent." The Peninsula Beverly Hills is one of those places where things work, and do so exceedingly well. Rebecca’s team brought their A game and showed us an excellent time, demonstrating a level of hospitality that is uncommon in this country or elsewhere. If you want a stay that’s very in the city and yet far from hustle and bustle, this is your place.

The Peninsula Beverly Hills was totally fantastic. This hotel team has the best service and staff of any hotel around . The monogrammed pillow cases were a nice extravagant touch . I plan to stay at the Peninsula Tokyo when I go there as I liked it so much . Thank You Peninsula Beverly Hills for a memorable stay .
