Where to stay
L’Ermitage Beverly Hills
One of LA’s top luxury hotels; L'Ermitage Beverly Hills is peacefully situated on a tree-lined residential street, just a short stroll from Rodeo Drive. This boutique hotel is renowned for its legendary elegance and unquestioned privacy — making it a top draw for celebrity guests.
For the past nine years, L’Ermitage Beverly Hills is one of the few hotels in the US to achieve a Forbes 5 Star and AAA Five Diamonds awards. The rooftop pool area offers incredible views over Beverly Hills and has been the setting for many a glamorous occasion [Lady Gaga played a private post-Bafta-party here]. Wi-fi is provided free of charge.

Avalon Hotel Beverly Hills
Sister hotel to the L’Ermitage, the Avalon Hotel offers a more price conscious option. Set around a dramatic pool terrace with private cabanas and the recently launched Oliverio restaurant, the hotel is on the doorstep of top Beverly Hills boutiques, galleries and restaurants.
Originally built in 1949 as the Beverly Carlton, all the guestrooms were renovated in 2011. The design of the hotel echoes the relaxed “patio lifestyle” of mid-20th Century Southern California and offers guests a 'home away from home.' The property certainly has a star-studded past.
It was featured in the Oscar-winning film, Dreamgirls, and before it became a hotel, it was an apartment building with Marilyn Monroe its most famous tenant.

No expense has been spared in creating this latest addition to Newport's hospitality scene. The opulent resort, inspired by an Italian hillside village offers up every luxury you can possibly think of.
Designed to be a relaxing refuge, the two, three and four bedroom villas are huge and ideal for large families, and beautifully furnished to resemble a real Tuscan retreat.

Butlers on call for you 24/7, ‘personalised grocery programmes' and customised menus for every guest are all just part of the service here.
