The Peninsula Beverly Hills is $396 cheaper a night, rated higher by guests (9.6 vs 9.4), and has more reviews behind that score. The Beverly Hills Hotel has a hot tub and golf that the Peninsula doesn't list, but at this price point those are marginal draws against a full spa, rooftop pool and gym the Peninsula does offer. Unless you specifically want the Pink Palace's mythology and bungalow culture, the Peninsula is the better booking on the numbers alone.
The Beverly Hills Hotel is pure old Hollywood theatre: pink stucco and green banana-leaf wallpaper by Don Loper, a lobby that still smells faintly of the 1950s even after every renovation. The Polo Lounge banquettes have hosted deal-making since the studio era, and the Fountain Coffee Room's curved counter is a genuine period piece, not a pastiche. Bungalows scattered through tropical gardens give it a private, secretive quality that low-slung LA hotels rarely manage, and the pool with underwater music is more a set piece than a place to actually swim. It draws people who want to feel inside a film about old Hollywood, not just near one.
Right for people who want to stay inside Hollywood folklore and don't mind paying a premium for atmosphere over amenity breadth.
The Peninsula trades mythology for polish: cream-toned rooms, a European-brasserie energy at Belvedere, and a rooftop pool that functions as an actual amenity rather than a photo backdrop. The building reads as considered rather than storied, Beverly Hills luxury hotel design of the modern international school, all clean lines and quiet good taste rather than pink-palace kitsch. It's a short walk from Rodeo Drive rather than sitting on Sunset, which puts it closer to shopping and further from the canyon-adjacent hush the other hotel trades on. It suits people who want five-star comfort and service without the theatre.
Right for people who want top-tier comfort, spa and gym facilities, and a slightly better guest record, without paying for legend.
Choosing the Peninsula over the Beverly Hills Hotel means giving up a hot tub and golf access, both minor against the wellness facilities the Peninsula already has.
The Beverly Hills Hotel is the more beautiful and characterful place to simply be in, because its pink-and-green theatricality and bungalow gardens are unrepeatable design history, while the Peninsula, for all its polish, is a very good version of a style found in luxury hotels everywhere.

“Iconic building with unmatched history”
“The Peninsula Beverly Hills is the epitome of luxury!”
Peninsula guests come away happier, as reviews consistently praise flawless, personalised service with no complaints, while Beverly Hills Hotel guests note inconsistent service and amenity shortfalls despite the iconic setting.
“Iconic hotel”
Iconic, gorgeous pool and rooms
Service was hit and miss, service with an attitude and when paying 2000 USD a night I would expect service to be outstanding, during breakfast often I was not greeted but said want coffee? and others were greeted etc, so do think service levels are equal to everyone
“Ticked off the list but don’t feel the draw to return”
Iconic building with unmatched history Staff were friendly
No coffee facility in the room!! Bath amenities are not plentiful or as high end as I would expect Bath water stopper didn’t work No signature scent to the hotel - surprising they haven’t considered that as a branding opportunity 45 minute delay to check in (past 3pm) with no goodwill offer other than a sorry…..

“Home Away From Home!”
We were in town to see the Phantom of the Opera for my girlfriends birthday. I had always wanted to stay at the Peninsula Beverly Hills and our experience surpassed all expectations. The entire staff was extremely welcoming and made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. The Living Room Tea was a terrific experience which I would recommend to anyone. The property was beautifully maintained and our room w
“Superb Service Makes the Difference”
We last stayed at the PBH about 12 years ago. I remembered it as being a very good hotel. But this stay was truly superb. The hotel was much as we remembered--no major renovation that was apparent. So you might think the facilities are getting a little shabby. Nothing could be further from the truth. The hotel gleamed--immaculately clean, extremely well maintained, and classic without seeming dated. The rooms a
