I stayed here about 5 years ago and the hotel is as good as i recall. I was upgraded to a suite through Amex Platinum and I recommend rooms here with good light; the bungalows are in the garden area and are dark, which is where I stayed last time. The gym is as good as it needs to be, pool is very good (and was heated well enough that I swam there each night even though it was in the 50's and raining; and the jacuzzi next to it is really super on nights like that!). The suite was very nice and functional, and the hotel is easy to get in and out of. I never waited for an elevator which is an advantage of a hotel that has only several levels of rooms. Dinner at the Belvedere was excellent and the pastry chef is top notch; this has always been strong at this hotel. Breakfast was also excellent although I was perturbed at the lack of pastries aside from muffins and croissants; i was hoping for a nice danish or cake. You can get print newspapers delivered to your room, something that has become a special thing to mention. There are a few things here that I don't particularly like that made me walk across the street to check out the Waldorf Astoria as an alternative. They could use a bathing suit dryer in the spa area near the pool. You have to walk around the hotel with a wet bathing suit after using the pool or jacuzzi and get it to dry in your room. I wound up leaving my bathing suit in my room because there was no way to get it dry for the trip home. There is no steam room in the spa; I don't like dry saunas and the one they have there is not really hot anyway. I was told that they used to have a steam room but had piping problems. I guess they just chose not to fix or relocate it but after several years it would be good to figure it out and fix this. The Waldorf has a steam room by the way. Their gym and pool area are comparable with killer views from the roof which has a good bistro up there. Room faucets spray water but not like a normal faucet; in the spa they are fine, so I guess they just want to save money in guest rooms. It's annoying when you want to brush your teeth and things like that. I also don't like the bathroom amenities with these caps you have to open with a sharp point and the metal packaging makes them heavy and hard to squeeze. The Peninsula chain has a history of being a top-level luxury hotel and at least the bathing suit spinner ought to be there. Top hotels have those and they shouldn't cut corners like these. The location here is convenient for Ubers and you are in the heart of Beverly Hills. The hotel compares well against the top hotels such as the Beverly Hills Hotel, the Montage and Bel-Air, but it has some rough edges lacking certain amenities that I really want when I travel, and it's not a slam-dunk favorite. I'd probably want to check out the Four Seasons Wilshire on my next visit.
