The Peninsula Beverly Hills

Comfortable, quiet, and old-world elegant with a lovely garden in the courtyard. High tea was delightful. We were able to see fireworks from a cabana by the pool. The staff was kind in a way that felt genuine.

IPad in room didn’t work. No coffee in room but coffee until 8 am in the lobby.

The location is beautiful. But the staff was so incredibly disappointing. When I tried to book an afternoon tea reservation the hostess was so rude and dismissive. The restaurant was also very rude. It amazed me to be spending so much in such a high end hotel and have such rude and dismissive staff. It was repeatedly unfortunate and affected my stay.

Breakfast was wonderful and the staff thoughtfully provided a cake / pastry for our anniversary

I thought the room would be a bit more spacious but that’s not a big deal. I think I understand why cars must be parked and retrieved by valets, and yet when all the occasions for tipping are included and when one doesn’t always carry cash, that can be a bit stressful for one who wants to honor labor
