The Peninsula Beverly Hills is consistently rated one of the best hotels on the west coast. They receive five diamonds from AAA and five stars from Mobil.

They are best knows for their attentive, yet discrete staff, who lavish personalized attention on guests, especially those celebrating special occasions.
