A brand new hotel, opening tomorrow, the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills will prove to be a very successful hotel venture. Located right next door to its sister property, the Beverly Hilton, I had a site inspection of the hotel last week. I was extremely impressed by what I saw.

The front doors lead into an impressive lobby, perhaps three stories high. Typical of Waldorf Astoria design, the lobby had a huge hanging chandelier illuminating the room. You can catch a glimpse of the art deco touches in the interior design.


Guest rooms are very large, starting at 630 square feet, and are decorated with a soft palette of light blues and creme. The bathrooms had all the features you'd expect of a new build. Of special note are the hotel's rooftop which boasts a 360º panoramic view of Beverly Hills and Los Angeles. The guests-only swimming pool is located on the roof, and the bar is destined to become a very popular place for nightlife.

Virtuoso amenities are especially generous, an upgrade at booking (room to room and suite to suite), American breakfast daily either through in-room dining or in the restaurant, complimentary WiFi, guaranteed 12 noon check-in and 4 p.m. check-out, and complimentary airport transfers (one-way for rooms, round-trip for suites).

The June Opening Offer starts at $595 per night, including Virtuoso amenities.
