The intersection of Wilshire and Santa Monica Boulevards is graced by the Beverly Hilton Hotel, a luxurious four-star hotel built in the mid-20th century.
Painted in a familiar shade of Welton Becket‘s favorite color, marshmallow white, the building was dubbed the “Western White House” by President John F. Kennedy himself.
Its 570 rooms and vast International Ballroom have hosted numerous celebrities at film-related events like the Golden Globe Awards and the Academy Awards Nominees Luncheon.
While the private balconies were originally separated by brightly colored panels, the building’s exterior remains largely unchanged. In 2007, the historic Tiki Trader Vic’s bar was closed and reopened as a poolside lounge. The hotel boasts the largest heated pool in Beverly Hills, complete with a gym. The hotel is about ten kilometers from the city center and less than 1 km from Rodeo Drive.
Adding to its allure, the Beverly Hilton has recently undergone various renovations to enhance its classic charm while integrating modern amenities. The revamped lobby now features contemporary decor that complements its historical grandeur, making it a perfect blend of past and present elegance. This, along with its strategic location, makes the Beverly Hilton a sought-after destination for tourists and business travelers alike, seeking a taste of Beverly Hills’ luxurious lifestyle.
