Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills

Beverly Hills, Los Angeles

Virgin rating

The hotel

Living the high life in more ways than one, Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills is every bit the VIP pad – especially when you’re up on the exclusive rooftop pool deck, soaking in the 360 degree views as you slink from your private cabana into the glimmering pool for a dip. With its balcony and floor-to-ceiling windows, your guestroom delivers its own jaw-dropping views of the Boulevard, hills, or LA skyline. And the views inside are just as dazzling, whether you’re eying up the sparkling cocktails at its French-inspired Lobby Lounge; the glamour of La Prairie Spa; the fine dining masterpieces of its French-American restaurant (under the helm of celebrated chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten); or the beautiful coastal Californian interiors by creative genius Pierre-Yves Rochon – who’s used muted greens and golds and delicate woods and whites to create an art deco garden vibe.

I’ve stayed at the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills before and the service was much better last time. I still enjoyed the location, the room, and the food but the service was lacking other than at the rooftop restaurant. The server was wonderful. Here were a couple problems I encountered as a Hilton Diamond member. 1. Check-in- We arrived around 12:30 pm and told we would get a text once the room was ready and that the luggage would be sent to our room. We also requested a room facing the mountain and neighborhood. We asked for an upgrade and nothing was offered other than getting a King size bed instead of a Queen size bed. At 3:00 pm we went to the front desk since we never got a text and when we went to our room the view was not in the direction we requested and our luggage was not in the room. We asked to switch rooms and we were told there was nothing available. I spoke with one of the managers, Mars, and she was able to help a little with some compensation. She was the only person I encountered at the hotel who seemed to care and tried to make things right. 2. At the pool, we were not offered towels nor water. I had to ask the server 3 times for water. At this price point, I will look for a different hotel next vacation. Read less

The Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills is a newer property, but feels like it has always belonged as an elegant welcome to the city. A short turn off Wilshire opened up into a circular driveway occupied by two Lamborghini's, a McLaren, and a lesser trio of >$80K SUVs. Several well-dressed women gathered out front, taking photos and no doubt waiting to start a day of high end shopping, or dining. The five seconds it took the valet to come around felt like ages. Any moment now, a collective gaze could turn towards us, in our ten-year-old car with its fresh sunburst of LA bird poo on the spoiler. Oh the judgment. Hurry man before the nightmare begins. He asked, "Dining or checking in?". Snap back to reality. Checking in. We belonged here, thanks to Hilton FNC. They moved with practiced ease, valet whisked our car away, another took our luggage, a third held the door and another lead us through reception. Our personal concierge, Richard Trejo, had already reached out four days prior to our stay, and prepared us for a special birthday occasion. We got reservations for Rooftop by JG, the house car to take us to Rodeo Drive, early check in, and the front desk even upgraded our room. On a side table was an issue of "Arrived", appropriately enough. This is fancy living. A boxed sleeve of Waldorf Astoria branded macarons greeted us, automatic curtains responded to voice commands, and an extensive minibar was available to all who dared. Travel and art books throughout offered tales of Tuscany and Provence. Top class toiletries, hair dryer, and towels. The room is spacious, richly appointed without feeling stuffy or lifeless. Wi-Fi was a strong measured 143 Mbps download and 115 Mbps upload. The Rolls Royce Phantom is a time machine. It whisked us to Rodeo without noise, without turbulence, with nary a hint that we were traveling. Our driver's encyclopedic knowledge of Beverly Hills filled the silence with helpful suggestions on how to fully enjoy our day out. Dinner was great, room service breakfast awesome, and the turn down chocolates looked almost too cool to eat. Check out was smooth, our F&B credits were applied automatically, and they even knew how to apply Hilton GCs. Every person at the property made us feel like long time residents, and welcomed.

Restaurant review only. The views are breathtaking, just unbelievable. Every member of the staff that we encountered was top-notch. Very professional, friendly, and helpful. The atmosphere is wonderful and even on sunny days, there is enough shade without taking away from the view. Linguini with shrimp is a must-try. The noodles appeared to… Read more

The atmosphere is wonderful and even on sunny days, there is enough shade without taking away from the view. Linguini with shrimp is a must-try. The noodles appeared to be handmade, with great flavor and good-sized shrimp. The place also has a good wine list. Read less

I stayed here Wednesday June 12-Thursday June 13. I had an excellent stay. They are very proud of their Forbes 5* status (all employees wear the Forbes 5* pin) and work hard to maintain it. There were a few kinks that might be improved. 1. The property & entrance is stunning and more impressive than the photographs. 2. Standing check-in with a line. Most Forbes 5* properties that I've visited have a seated check-in and do not have a line. Victoria was very helpful at check-in. 3. Parking was $70/night. That is insanely expensive. But since this is a high-end property, I guess it's expected. I wish the cost of parking was clearly labeled at booking. 4. Aesop toiletries in the hotel rooms cost $50/bottle to take home. I wish the hotel clearly labeled this in the bathroom. I can see many customers wrongly assuming they're free to take home, as in many other hotels. 5. My room was excellent and spacious. Great view from Balcony. Dyson hair dryer in the bathroom. 6. Bijan store downstairs (where you don't need appointment) was kind of cool. 7. Dinner at Espelette had disappointing food (7/10), but excellent service. They should really rebrand the restaurant! 8. Breakfast at Espelette was good (8/10), but it's usually better at Forbes 5* hotels. 9. Rooftop pool area had cold plunge and sauna. Only problem was the sauna reaches a max temp of 167 degrees, not hot enough!!! 10. Excellent La Prairie spa (Forbes 5* spa) where guests can use the steam room, shower experience, and relaxation areas. 11. Two house cars, Rolls Royce Phantom and Escalade. Excellent hotel & service. You feel like a celebrity. Very expensive (don't come here to save money). Some kinks mentioned above. Read less

Beautiful place and great roof top bar and restaurant. Clearly it’s very expensive as where it is . The room was fantastic we did have a couple of issues but where resolved very quickly and to me satisfaction. The breakfast was absolutely outstanding
