Home Away From Home For Oscar Stars
During Oscar Week, The Peninsula Beverly Hills is booked solid with nominees and presenters, studio heads and A-list producers, its majestic tree-shaded porte cochere choc-o-block with Rolls, Bentleys and Mercedes. No wonder. An AAA Five Diamond rated hotel for 15 consecutive years, The Peninsula Beverly Hills provides the luminaries of the entertainment world with a luxurious home away from home.
Its 196 elegantly appointed guest rooms include 36 suites and 16 private villas. Its pool terrace offers private cabanas and a panoramic view that stretches from the ocean to the “Hollywood” sign. Surrounded by lush tropical gardens, The Peninsula Beverly Hills exudes the ambiance of a five-star resort that is tucked away in the heart of the city.
Since opening in 1991, The Peninsula Beverly Hills has set the standard for gracious hospitality in Southern California with innovative amenities such as 24-hour check-in, advanced in-room technology, unparalleled cuisine and service that anticipates a guest’s every need.
The Club Bar provides a handsome dark-wood-paneled refuge meeting place with a men’s club feel. The Living Room takes “hotel lobby” to a new level, where guests lounge on sofas before the two fireplaces and enjoy coffee, Afternoon Tea and cocktails.
The Roof Top Garden offers all-day dining al fresco, with drinks at sunset around the fire pit. And as for The Belvedere, the hotel’s award-winning restaurant, its comfortably elegant interior and sun-splashed patio are home to power breakfasts, ladies’ lunches and exquisite gourmet dinners. And then there is in-room dining; Peninsula Beverly Hills room service. In addition to featuring choices from homemade muesli and fresh steamed dim sum to comfort-food classics such as Mac ‘n Cheese with Truffles, Peninsula Room Service includes caring touches such as wine poured by the glass and bread that can be toasted in the room. Executive Chef James Overbaugh, who came to The Peninsula Beverly Hills from a Relais & Chateaux property in 2008, serves market-driven contemporary California Cuisine. And by “market driven” he means working with a professional “forager” who drives up and down the state to procure the best and most seasonal (and often the most exotic) produce available. Think water spinach from Mendecino in the Spring, golden raspberries from Santa Ynez in the Summer and blue pumpkins from Petaluma in the Fall.
Luxurious indulgence at The Peninsula extends to the hotel’s intimate spa. Here, guests unwind with treatments that range from anti-aging acupuncture facial rejuvenation to oxygen facials to body wraps, using Shiffa precious oil products, made in Dubai, their shimmering bottles each holding a sapphire, ruby or diamond.
