The location and service were absolutely outstanding! I know prices have skyrocketed over the past few years, but considering the exceptional quality of the hotel, it still feels like a fantastic value. The entire experience was so memorable that I’d definitely return. Being just steps away from everything in LA made exploring the city a breeze—this place truly elevates your stay.
Staying at the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills was an absolute highlight. I could tell it was a busy time—Oscars season, perhaps?—as many rooms were booked, but that didn’t take away from the luxury experience. The small balcony was a real plus, offering a quiet spot to enjoy the view and some fresh air. While the price is definitely on the higher end, the service, comfort, and overall ambiance make it worth every penny. Location-wise, it’s tucked into a residential neighborhood, so you won’t find bustling shopping or nightlife nearby—but that’s part of its charm. It’s peaceful, quiet, and feels like a private retreat. If you’re looking for convenience and city energy, this might not be the best fit. But if you want a serene, high-end stay with exceptional service, this hotel delivers. Definitely recommend for those seeking a refined escape.
Staying at the Kimpton Hotel Palomar Los Angeles Beverly Hills was an absolute delight. The location is fantastic—just a short walk from Rodeo Drive and perfect for exploring nearby areas like UCLA. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, making every interaction feel personal and genuine. The amenities are top-notch: clean, stylish rooms with thoughtful touches throughout. While there's a daily guest amenity fee of $35, it’s well worth it. Of that, $15 can be used at the on-site restaurant, which offers a diverse menu—especially impressive was the seafood stew featuring half a lobster, fresh shrimp, and scallops. Breakfast included free coffee and milk, a nice start to the day. I also loved being able to borrow bikes for a ride around the neighborhood, and the complimentary 3-mile Uber ride per day made getting to places like Rodeo Drive effortless. Plus, the evening wine hour from 5 to 6 PM was the perfect way to unwind after a long day. Overall, this hotel delivers exceptional value and a truly memorable experience.
