Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel
Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel, has played host to everyone from Elvis Presley to Warren Beatty since it opened its doors in 1928. The property has 395 guest rooms (including 137 suites) spread out over two buildings—the 10-story Wilshire Wing and the 14-story Beverly Wing—in the heart of Beverly Hills, just steps from Rodeo Drive. Beverly Wilshire is home to Wolfgang Puck’s award-winning, Richard Meier–designed American steakhouse Cut, as well as The Blvd for all-day dining and people-watching on its Wilshire Boulevard–facing terrace. The rooftop pool area boasts a café and bar and several cabanas and lounge chairs scattered around a perfectly heated pool. This summer, the property will unveil a top-down renovation project designed by David Collins Studio. The refurbished guest rooms and suites will offer hints of drama and old Hollywood glamour with an inspired contemporary twist. Dressed in soft pastels and grays, the rooms represent Rodeo Drive luxury and provide guests with a sanctuary of comfort. “The vision created by David Collins Studio and Four Seasons brings the guest suites in line with the brand, the location and the level of luxury expected from the hotel’s guests,” says studio creative director Simon Rawlings.
The Beverly Hills Hotel
The historic Beverly Hills Hotel tapped world-renowned interior design studio Champalimaud Design to reimagine the hotel’s luxurious poolside area. The 11 newly redesigned private cabanas invite guests into an Instagram-worthy world of Old Hollywood glamour with pink-and-white-striped awnings, charming terrazzo coffee tables and, most notably, the hotel’s signature pink Martinique banana leaf wallpaper. The Pink Palace has been a staple in Hollywood for decades and this redesign marks the first time the hotel has reintroduced the iconic wallpaper since the 1940s. The new pink colorway was pulled from the company’s archives to complement the original green of the hotel’s signature interiors. The chic hideaways perfectly reflect the distinct design aesthetic of the Dorchester Collection’s Beverly Hills Hotel while offering a beautiful new outdoor experience for guests to bask in.
The Maybourne Beverly Hills
The new Cigar and Whiskey Bar at The Maybourne Beverly Hills offers an array of whiskies from the Suntory distillery in Japan to the famed Macallan distillery in Speyside, Scotland. Accompanying this exceptional whiskey list is a custom humidor containing 1,000 cigars from the Caribbean and Central America. The intimate bar showcases dark wood-paneled walls, cozy leather armchairs and banquettes illuminated by Lalique wall sconces and light fixtures.
