On the weekends this area becomes wildly popular among both hotel guests and locals who drop by to grab a long lunch at the casual poolside cafe, that is just as much about the social scene as it is the food (okay, if I’m honest, it is much less about the latter). The hotel is a private playground of sorts, with oodles of public spaces to enjoy but mostly centering around the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel pool.

My deluxe suite seemed to have it all: a plush king size bed with some of the coziest sheets I have ever had, a large bathroom with a bathtub to fit three people my size, and a huge flat screen with a range of channels to keep myself entertained in the evenings (there really is no end to American reality tv entertainment).Įach morning I would order breakfast from the In Room Dining menu, with my hardest choice for the day being whether to have the “Hollywood breakfast” or the banana-strawberry smoothie with protein (when in fact I would order both, every time). Known to many as the “Pink Palace”, this hotel is the kind of place you would check-in to for a staycation, as the idyllic surrounds make it hard to leave the property to venture elsewhere – with a fantastic outdoor pool area, plenty of gardens, and a selection of great eateries (my favourite is the low key Fountain Coffee Room). Its no secret this is a popular spot for celebrities, but I was so blissed out in my hotel suite that I rarely made it out to people watch at the pool area, which becomes especially popular on weekends and in particular for Sunday Brunch.

The hotel was built over a century ago and as such, the neighbourhood of Beverly Hills was formed and built around the property over the years. It is difficult to know where to begin when describing this hotel as it has become so affectionately loved by locals + visitors to Los Angeles over the last 100+ years of operation. I booked a room and checked myself in to the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles.

So on my recent visit to Los Angeles, I reasoned that a stay here would be worth the pretty pennies, as it is an experience in itself and one that I have been longing to enjoy for quite some time. For those who don’t know, the hotel is legendary for being one of the most iconic hotels in the world, known for its playfully pink exterior, banana leaf wallpaper and for being a major destination for film stars in Hollywood’s golden age. With its distinctive colours, large bright leaves, and waving banana palms, it remains internally and intrinsically connected to the hotel, and has developed a type of celebrity status amongst designers and guests alike.For a really long time I have wanted to check myself in to the Beverly Hills Hotel. The wallpaper is featured in The Fountain Coffee Room and in all of the hallways of the hotel, 5½ miles to be exact. This is the first time the hotel has installed this iconic wallpaper since the original installation in the 1940s. The pink is a new colourway, re-introduced from the company’s archives to complement the original green of the hotel’s interiors.

The most notable design feature in the cabanas is the pink Martinique banana leaf wallpaper made by CW Stockwell. Adorned in pink and white interior striped awnings, guests in the cabanas find themselves immersed in all the fun and exclusivity that Beverly Hills has to offer. Establishing an even deeper sense of place, the design studio had sourced beautiful peach pink tables from a local Los Angeles designer, Bend. The design team have created a distinct atmosphere that builds up from the details: basket weave on the chairs, terrazzo on the coffee tables, and bright candy pink throughout the space. Admiring the storied history of the hotel and pool area in particular, each space is imbued with a nostalgic sense of Hollywood glamour. The newly refreshed cabanas convey a welcoming residential feel while paying homage to the hotel’s iconic design elements.
