Surrounded by 12 acres of tropical gardens, The Beverly Hills Hotel has become one of the most famous places to stay in the world. Its beyond-A-list clientele has included Messrs Frank Sinatra, Charlie Chaplin, John Lennon and Henry Fonda, but that doesn’t mean you should overlook its current facilities: Bar Nineteen12’s cocktails are some of the best in the city; there’s live entertainment all day in The Polo Lounge; plus a 1,916 sq ft spa.
