THE BEVERLY HILLS HOTEL
LOS ANGELES
Legend has it that The Eagles ’ “ Hotel
California ” took its inspiration from The Beverly Hills Hotel , which lead singer Don Henley had once referred to as being “ the locus of all that LA had come to mean for us .” Few would argue . Since it opened in 1912 , the hotel has been synonymous with glitz and glamor and attracting the glitterati of old and new Hollywood , alike . Maybe it is its covert position , hidden behind palm trees and banana leaves , offering a sense of seclusion that can be hard to find in the famously celebrity-driven city . The “ Pink Palace ” is that , and maybe no better symbol is the Polo Lounge , known as Hollywood ’ s commissary and the epicenter of power dining in LA . When it ’ s time to retire , it ’ s the hotel ’ s bungalows that add another layer of luxury protection . There are 23 altogether , part of a total of 210 rooms and suites at the hotel , which , since 1996 , has been part of the Dorchester Collection . Five bungalows are inspired by the famous guests who have called them home , including Howard Hughes , Marilyn Monroe and Marlene Dietrich . They , like those before and after , can check-out any time they like , but they can never leave .
