Insider favorites that are worth the splurge.
When it comes to luxury travel, Beverly Hills is in a league of its own. From palm tree-lined streets and iconic shopping on Rodeo Drive to discreet five-star service and world-renowned dining, this legendary neighborhood is more than just a famous zip code, it's a lifestyle. Whether you're visiting from out of town or treating yourself to a local staycation, choosing the right hotel makes all the difference. If you're wondering where to stay for a true luxury experience, you've come to the right place. Here are my insider recommendations for the best 5-star hotels in Beverly Hills that consistently deliver impeccable service, stunning ambiance, and an unforgettable stay.

🌸 The Beverly Hills Hotel
Old Hollywood glamour with timeless charm and my favorite, hands down.
When considering the best 5-star hotels in Beverly Hills, there’s simply nothing like the Beverly Hills Hotel. Known as the "Pink Palace," this legendary property has been a hideaway for celebrities, creatives, and power players since 1912. It's also the most iconic hotel in Beverly Hills, with its signature pink façade and banana-leaf wallpaper becoming Instagram landmarks in their own right.

As a local, I come here often. For breakfast at the Fountain Coffee Room (Ruth, Denise, and Jerry make every visit special), dinners at the Polo Lounge under twinkle lights, massages with Brooke at the spa, or a complete reset during a staycation. The pool is serene and lush, and the service is truly world-class, encapsulating exactly what you'd expect from the best 5-star hotels in Beverly Hills. Simply walking the grounds makes you feel like you're experiencing a dream version of LA.

It’s also family- and pet-friendly in the most elevated way. My toddler is always treated like a VIP, and my Frenchie receives custom treats with his name on them.

Is it the most expensive hotel in Beverly Hills? Yes. Summer rates typically start at $1,700+ per night, compared to other hotels on this list where beautiful rooms start around $800. But for the true luxury experience, it’s worth every penny. The ambiance, heritage, and exceptional attention to detail are unmatched and if you want the full Beverly Hills fantasy, this is it.

☕️ The Peninsula Beverly Hills
Discrete luxury and next-level attention to detail.
For travelers seeking where to stay for a true luxury experience, The Peninsula is a gem that still feels like an exclusive secret. It's quiet, intimate, and rooted in genuine hospitality. From the moment you arrive, the seamless experience confirms its spot among the best 5-star hotels in Beverly Hills: bell staff who remember your name, personalized details like monogrammed pillowcases, and thoughtful touches elevate the entire stay.

Breakfast on the garden terrace is lovely (I'm still dreaming about the bacon, eggs, and crispy potatoes), the rooftop pool captures perfect sunlight, and the bar downstairs is beloved by locals for its cocktails and delicious dim sum. It’s luxurious without being loud, sophisticated yet understated, and delivers flawless service.

🌴 Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills
A garden escape with a focus on wellness and classic Four Seasons service.
Another outstanding choice among the best 5-star hotels in Beverly Hills is the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles. This location perfectly balances classic elegance and relaxed California luxury. Situated on Doheny Drive, the property is surrounded by lush greenery, creating a retreat-like atmosphere while remaining minutes from all the Beverly Hills attractions.

The rooftop pool is a beautiful spot to unwind, and the hotel gym stands out as one of the best in LA. Open-air, fully equipped, and wellness-focused, located conveniently next to the pool. And naturally, the service exemplifies the high standards of the Four Seasons brand—refined, attentive, and consistently excellent.

💎 The Maybourne Beverly Hills
European elegance meets unbeatable walkability.
For guests prioritizing location, The Maybourne Beverly Hills ranks highly among the best 5-star hotels in Beverly Hills. Located directly on Canon Drive, it's in the center of everything. Rodeo Drive, designer boutiques, fine dining, and my favorite local coffee shop, Maru, right next door.

The atmosphere is contemporary and stylish. The rooftop pool offers incredible views, the spa is chic and highly rated, and the gym is surprisingly comprehensive. Perfect for travelers who value wellness alongside luxury. For the location and amenities, it's one of the best values in the five-star category.

Final Thoughts
There's a reason Beverly Hills is synonymous with luxury. However, not all hotels here deliver the full five-star experience. These four properties consistently provide the exceptional level of service and sophistication expected from the best 5-star hotels in Beverly Hills, beautifully blending warmth with world-class refinement.

Yes, The Beverly Hills Hotel is the priciest but it's also the most iconic. The others offer outstanding value and distinct personalities, whether you're seeking quiet elegance, wellness-focused amenities, or glamorous convenience.

Whichever you choose, you're guaranteed a stay that showcases the very best of what Beverly Hills has to offer.
