Beverly Hills Homestays

WOW! My wife and I stay at every level of hotels from Best Western To The Roosevelt to Waldorf Astorias...This one impressed. First of all, the Valet was absolutely their for every guest. Non-judgemental about having a motorcycle delivered to their location, they were even curious about the BMW r1800! Travis (I believe his name was, he is the boss) has an incredible crew, as he himself was very pro-active. Friendliest and most responsive valet service I have ever seen! The Front Desk.. Attentive and welcoming. Very knowledgeable and expeditious in their service. As you walk through the beautiful lobby, the front desk is right to your right, along with the concierge (Dave ROCKS!)...no lines (On Memorial Day), and forthrite information. The Food... So delicious, The rooftop dining had a more casual atmosphere, with beautiful view of the Bev Hills Mountains. The menu is delicious, and (relatively) cheap. About $200.00 will get you a ice dinner, dessert and wine. All with great service. They have a new wine manager, at the time this review was written, who is full of knowledge and energy. The first floor restaurant, Espelette, has a new Executive Chef, Stephen..French...Lively personality and loves greeting his guests. My recommendations? Try the Bronzini, both restaurants are superb. The rooftop makes it over potato, with asparagus, while Espelette allows the fish to shine utilizing sides to compliment. The fish in Espelette is dried for 72+ hours, and is full of flavor..The true winner, though is the eggs benedict...OMG the creamiest Hollandaise I have ever had the joy of tasting bar none! The eggs Benedict is served with either ham or salmon, try both! And the service is incredible! The Room... Beautifully appointed with a touch of class..A mattress on the bed worthy of this level hotel..And maid service multiple times a day, and on call. So you never come back to a messy room! 24 hour in room dining... The Bad.. The only issues we ran into were considered minimal..and IMO, no fault of this property. The reservation people claimed they were at the hotel...they were not..the gave us misinformation, which is par for the course with hilton reservations...a never ending battle. And the house car did not show for the pick-up..the concierge said that the driver had called wondering where we were, and we called wondering where he was! I still give this property 5/5.

The whole is OK, and there is no way to compare with the domestic, it is also the domestic standard.

Booked a three night stay here. Two couples. Check in was great. Given a welcome drink on arrival. Rooms were ready. Going up in the elevator it got stuck but we didn't mind cause mum got a fit of the giggles and nearly wet herself. Anyway.. Rooms were modern and smallish in size but had everything we needed. Great shower and coffee making facilities. Had drinks at the bar with other guests which was fun Rodeo drive doesn't bother me. I'm not into wasting tons of money so we went to the Queen Mary in Longbeach instead. Ate once in the restaurant. Food was great. Met many of the staff and they were all friendly and helpful. Met the manager too. He sat with us for a while talking about the hotel etc etc. He was a fun guy. Only thing we didn't like was the noise from the floor above but that was all. Just someone walking back and forward in high heels all night on wooden floor. Hardly the owners fault. Maybe one day he will put thick rugs down. But I wish him well. Hotel is named after his brother so I wish him every success.

My wife and I stayed here for a few nights on a baby moon before heading to Palm Springs. Really enjoyed this hotel. The bed was comfortable, we were in a nice Jr. suite with a sitting area, huge marble bathroom, and a great palm tree view. Breakfast was really good - espcially with our status which made it basically free and the location (definitely need a car - it's LA, afterall) felt safe and nice. Downside was that there were 2 events the night we arrived - seemingly schmancy - which made the hotel a bit busier that one might like. That said, no noise made it up to our room, thankfully. Overall, would definitely stay again.

The style of the old hotel is excellent. The location is average, go to the shopping street for ten minutes. The breakfast room, garden, and lobby are small, but the service is really good, waiting for free drinks, snacks. The rooms are comfortable and beautiful, especially the bathrooms on the peninsula are always so comfortable

Upscale with a soul to it. Really liked the stay at Avalon. Wasn't chocked by all the design features though but indeed a very good hotel. Feels friendlier and less stiff than similar options in the city to my opinion.

We recently visited The Mosaic for a two-night stay. The location of the hotel was excellent, on a quiet street just off Wilshire and a stone's throw from The Peninsula where we had business. Our room itself was fine, and quite reasonably priced by Beverly Hill standards. However, the room was right next to the elevator and directly across from the housekeeping station, which disappointed us considering that the hotel did not seem to be hosting very many guests during our stay. Couldn't we have been assigned a different room? Accordingly, it was noisy outside our room, particularly in the AM with the housekeeping staff doing their thing and the trash pickup outside on Monday morning. Speaking of housekeeping, we did not receive any housekeeping during our stay, and we were never informed that we would not be nor were we asked if we might like to have housekeeping during our stay. In addition, we booked a room rate as part of which we were to receive breakfast, but I don't think the restaurant/bar was even open during most of our visit, a fact that nobody mentioned to us when we checked in. And, we were charged a mandatory ”urban bundle fee” of $30 plus tax per day which was said to include a complimentary welcome drink (which we did not receive) and ”other valued added amenities” to which I have no idea what they are referring to because as far as I can tell we got nothing. And finally, we were charged $50 daily for parking which was neither valet nor was it even secured parking. So, all in all, not a bad place to stay location wise, but I do not like it when a hotel makes promises that they can't keep and doesn't even have the courtesy to tell you about it or apologize for their shortcomings.

Especially special, especially special, very special, especially special, especially special, especially special, especially special, especially special, especially special, especially special, especially special, especially special, especially special, very special, especially special.
