Walking distance to Rodeo Drive, the Beverly Hills Sign, the Farmers Market, BH Library, and more! This is the best location if you are casually visiting and don't have a car. Everything is pretty much within a mile or a short Uber ride to WeHo. The walls are not very sound insulated, so it's really easy to hear neighbors showering or cars outside. I like that you can enter your room via passcode. The hotel is also attached to NUA, which is nice. One of my pillowcases had a strange stain on it, but luckily there were 6 pillows to choose from... Overall, the room did the trick for a few days in town. Some nice touches were the Roku TV, comfy bed, and a mini-fridge. I loved the soap they provide in the shower too! read more

Pretty good for the cheapest room in Beverly. Rugs are threadbare, window A/C is janky, rooms need a refresh, woke up to some lady doing her exercise routine in the hallway, whatever. Again, great for one night and the cheapest room in the area. read more

Crescent hotel has a great location and that is their niche. Love the hallway artwork. Outside of that it is lacking many items that a typical guest would expect at their price range. The room are small due to old building which is acceptable but one can off set with quality in all other areas. The bed was hard as a rock no mattress topper to soften the bed. The shower was made of concrete ok fine but the shower had no adjustment capability so it blasts at my neck and forget about your hair staying dry. The shower is honestly the size of an rv shower. The toilet seat is plastic and screwed down so hard it creaks when trying to open and close it. The small pendants by the bed were broken and missing pieces. The only way to make your room dark is to pull the curtains in the close position but then it blocks the AC to allow air into the room. The tv is the size of a computer monitor yet there is plenty of room to impress guests with a much larger tv. A few recommendations would be to change the shower head to a hand held piece to adjust to all heights. Add a mattress pillow topper for softness and luxury. Fix the toilet seats. Remove and replace broken pendant lights. Add floating shelf's so guests have places to place their personal items. Towel hooks to place towels on. The drapes are beautiful but not practical if ac or heater are on at night drapes are closed and block air flow. Hazard? Not sure your options here as they are the nicest things in the room. Great location but I would not stay here again. Too many trade offs. read more

I think this place has closed. No working phone number. Booked through a third party. Called on checkin day and no working phone number.

Other than needing a 6foot charging cord and no evevator, this hotel is a hidden gem with a restaurant NUA equal to most in the area both in atmosphere and food quality. read more

Prepaid Stay, Double Charged After Checkout, Still No Refund I booked a two-night stay at The Crescent Sonder in Los Angeles through Expedia.com on June 12 and prepaid $467.34 for check-in on June 25. After my stay, Sonder incorrectly charged my credit card again on June 27 for $388.90. When I contacted them on July 27, they acknowledged the mistake and promised a refund within 7 to 10 business days. Instead of resolving the issue, they charged me again on July 29 for the same amount. After realizing the double error, they refunded the July 29 charge that same day. Now they claim that refund also covered the June 27 charge. It did not. I reviewed my bank records carefully -- the original $388.90 from June 27 was never returned. This pattern of duplicate charges, miscommunication, and failure to correct billing mistakes is unacceptable. I feel taken advantage of and unsupported by their customer service. Sonder, you must resolve this immediately and refund the $388.90 you owe. I am sharing this publicly to ensure others are aware. Travelers should not have to fight this hard to recover money from a hospitality company. read more

absolutely awful from check in to check out. no consideration at all for bonvoy members with status (we are titanium). check in is at 4. we arrived at 1:40 and our room was ready. great, right?! wrong. they would not let us check in without paying a fee. when we finally got to our room it was noisy and hot. pillowcases didn't fit the cheap pillows even though both were standard. Bathroom was tiny and shower got water everywhere because of set up. I don't know they made towels as thin as the ones at this property. No housekeeping. no elevator. Threadbare carpet. Window unit ACs. was more of a motel-not a hotel and certainly not worth the rate we paid. read more

Probably the best option for a hotel to stay for just sleeping. If you are traveling LA Beverly hills area and want a safe location but will be outside of hotel most of time, this is a hotel for you. It's over 100yrs old hotel though it looks gorgeous inside and out. It reminds me of an old building in NYC or Brooklyn. Anyway, it's affordable price range tho the size of room is really compact. The room is very clean with minimal stuffs, like tv and fridge and coffee maker. It doesn't have a microwave. One thing you should be mindful is, This place doesn't have an elevator. So if u must use an elevator, this isn't a hotel for u. But, I will def come back when I need to stay for few days in LA. The crew was nice too. Unlike some bad reviews said the front desk in this location was there 24/7. There are plenty restaurants in walking distance for the hotel. The location and affordable fee make it perfect combo for the traveler. Again it's rather not for a family. It's for maybe a couple who would use the hotel just for sleeping. But then, cuz of it, I didn't see any kids during the stay and the hotel was relatively quiet. read more

Stay away from this place and consider anywhere else. We were in town for a very big, televised event, and wanted to find somewhere quiet and cozy. We've stayed here before but this time it's under new management and was less than wonderful. For starters you have to pay them to change your bedding or refresh your room. It was loud and walls are so thin. Decorations were sloppy and sideways everywhere. The black and white wall treatment in the entry is old fabric that's falling down. I asked for a bandaid and they didn't have any. They showed us the linen closet where we could get our own sheets or towels and do it ourself. Our trashcan was full so they gave us trash bags to clean up our own trash. There was one gentleman who was working the front desk and was very pleasant. The females who worked here were rude and annoyed at any questions, other than one woman who was working at night and very kind. This place is terrible. Watch out for the rotting(?) flooring at the base of the one staircase. They have glued down a rug to cover it up. read more

I stayed here for business and it was perfect. Cute, comfortable, beautiful little Mediterranean cafe Nua on site that makes wonderfully fresh squeezed orange juice each morning. Patrick at the desk was very helpful as I navigated the area. And the valet parking attendant was friendly and kind. Definitely on my go-to list for business travel. Also, the art! Love love love the art that fills the walls. read more

Crescent Hotel Beverly Hills - The artwork at the Crescent is beautiful! - Hotels Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

I stayed here recently, about three weeks (according to a bartender) after it became a Sonder property. The hotel itself is nicely done, with great photography lining the walls and some other quirky art. The room was nice, carpet free and with that distressed concrete look on the bathroom floor. Given that it was about $200 while every place around was at least two or four times that, I didn't mind at all that the room was a bit small. The bathroom doors have opaque frosted glass so, if you are with a second guest, the light could affect them if they're sleeping and you need to make a midnight potty visit. Despite the room being near the busy corner, it was insulated well enough that noise was not intrusive to me. Not only is there no digital key but it a real brass key on a brass keychain! Note: There is no elevator/lift. There is a handicapped entrance but there are still some steps (up or down) to reach the floors with rooms. My only real problem with the place is that it still seems to be going through growing pains in its relationship with Sonder, a company that seems to thrive on minimizing staff by using technology, but forcing me to download an app for, worse, forcing the elderly (and handicapped) visitors in the lobby at the same time to call a Boston number to deal with a helper to help them download that app and set up an account isn't conducive to the older clientele more likely to visit this Beverly Hills establishment. read more

This isn't somewhere you want to stay if you want a conventional hotel. The rooms have old windows that allow you to feel like you're standing on the street with the traffic. Also, we were able to hear people, music, and cutlery in the restaurant. We requested to leave and a refund. After asking us to sit in our room for 1.5hrs while they attempted to contact a manager and offered no solutions, we instead called the head office number to get it sorted. The head office team were great, refund processed ASAP! Would avoid. read more

The worst, believe me, the worst experience I have had in a hotel, after the Marriot Renaissance in New York, has been at the  Sonder, @CrescentHotel, at Los Angeles, California It is not Airbnb, but it is not a hotel either and although, the reservation was made by @AmericanExpress Travel Services USA and they promise you a luxury hotel, Frankly they have no idea what they are selling First: the hotel has no reception. Everything you have to do it online and they give you a code to enter your room. Second: it has no parking. It does not have an elevator to the second floor Third: It does not have room service and normally, there is no one to take care of you It is an old building in the best area of ​​Beverly Hills, adapted to hotel  which look like roadside motels. The bathroom looks like those in a penitentiary at the movies, so small, with that you can't dry it, in the same bathroom after taking a shower The shower is so small that it could fit half a person Decorayion of the bathroom is gray cement wall and that's all To watch TV, you have to connect your phone or computer to Chrome cast. Download the app and give your card numbers in advance The corner where the hotel is located, is extremely noisy.  Beverly Hills has become  as a track for drag racing by Lamborghinis, Ferraris and other sports  noise cars. Just at this corner they turn around Returning to the hotel, the room is truly and embarrassingly ugly The worst disappointments, don't make cleaning or housekeeping service  They do it the day you leave and before the next guest arrives I am not sure about the sanitation measures they are using If you want them to housekeeping or room cleaning, they surprise you by charging an extra $ 30 USD per day or per service The receptionist, if you have one, is a person with zero knowledge of hotel services who simply answers 3 questions and if necessary, teaches you to open your room  with a code because there is no key to access. You get the code thru internet   I still don't understand if it is a hotel or what, because it has being reserved by American Express as a luxury hotel. Either is not an Airbnb, but it pretend to be like they pretend to be like, with out kitchen. My recommendation is that you do not be fooled, neither by the recommendation of American Express Travel Services, neither by the rating of "luxury hotel" on your own webpage, because it is not read more

DO NOT STAY HERE!! (this message is on behalf of my mom who does not know how to work yelp nor have any interest in learning, LOL) I came to this place and it was a horror show. The photos they showed on the sight made it look completely idyllic but when I arrived, the space was so small I could barely walk around the bed, no closet, just a small cupboard that maybe a toddler could fit a week's worth of clothes in but certainly no adult. The bathroom was gross, a cement prison shower- with a steel thing in the middle that I nearly cut my foot on! No overhead light and NO AIR CONDITIONING. These conditions are not only awful, but they're unsafe! I am a senior citizen and I'm honestly considering suing for elder abuse. The worst part about it, though, was the attitudes of the Sonder employees. They had ZERO empathy, refused to give us our money back... this is hands down the WORST travel experience of my life. One star is too generous! read more

Definitely will return. The rooms are super clean and very roomy. I loved all the outside sitting areas. My husband and I enjoyed having our meals outside. The employees at the front desk are not friendly, but that really did t matter. We were there to enjoy some downtime. We found a little treasure to stay at. read more

This is the worst customer service experience I've ever had in my 42 years on this planet. Not only were we not able to check in after a 3 hour drive, we got treated like we didn't have a reservation and that we had insufficient funds for incidentals from the manager Veronica, she was not only unhelpful but didn't even bother to care. We also received the worst customer service from Dexter, the technician who was raising his voice at us and talking over us. 6 different cards got declined, after we proved we had a valid reservation for two nights, while simultaneously also proving our cards from different banks were not locked up. The front desks computer system was not functioning properly and instead of resolving the issue by letting us into our room they had us spend over an hour going through a rabbit hole. Extremely disappointed in this hotel and would not recommend to my worst enemy. Buyer BEWARE!!! PS. We ended going around the corner to another hotel and they were able to put a $500 hold on my card to get us a room. We then went to dinner, now at 10:30pm, and used multiple cards just to make sure they worked and prove to us we were not in the wrong. read more

I do NOT recommend this hotel to anyone, ESPECIALLY FEMALES WHO ARE STAYING SOLO for safety reasons. I mean it. I basically forced my husband to come to LA with me and thank God he did. The front desk gives you codes to enter your room. I was given 3 different codes because the first two didn't work. I want to say- this in itself is very unsafe. Anyone can punch in numbers and get to your room. What happened to the old school cards? Secondly, the front desk individual is hardly there. Thirdly, there is NO NUMBER TO CONTACT FRONT DESK DIRECTLY IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY or to even ask questions. I googled for a number and the only way to get to front desk is through the main corporate/reservation number. The bottom line... a man tried breaking into my room at 10:15PM. Luckily I had the chain on the door for safety otherwise this older man would have gone inside the room and done God knows what. The question is how did this man know the code to my designated room??? Umm creepy and shady. He must have been looming around the hotel and overheard me say my code when I had difficulties entering my room. Had my husband not been with me, and had I not left the chain on the door, I probably wouldn't be writing this review right now. He could have been a rapist or thief. No staff to call. I was PETRIFIED. I'm still in shock. Imagine waking up with a stranger coming into your room at 10:15PM? This man couldn't have been a guest because he would have entered a different code to the room assigned. **LADIES, IF YOU ARE GOING TO STAY HERE, TAKE SOMEONE WITH YOU, DO NOT STAY ALONE HERE. read more

Pros: Amazing location. Walking distance to everything. Well decorated particularly outside and corridors. Valet parking though cost extra was convenient. Cons: lacking basic amenities. Heat did not work and we were freezing Had to pay for TV, coffee maker did not work, had to pay 45 dollars to have room cleaned. Strange sleeping accommodations left one of my kids sleeping on the floor on top of couch pillows and the other on the couch. Overall we had a decent stay due to the great location. read more

This bar is a charming and intimate space at the Crescent Hotel in Beverly Hills. The foyer walking into the hotel is small yet inviting. As you walk up a small set of stairs you begin to feel the vintage ambience which continues as you start walking down a short hallway to the bar. The bar has only a few seats and is surrounded by a handful of small tables. I felt like I walked into a cozy living room. The walls are lined with books and lovely decor. We took seats at the bar. Our bartender, Marcus, was absolutely charming. He made our evening night cap fun and interesting. We got to chat about an array of "Beverly Hills" places to dine and drink at. We had no clue last call is like at 9:00 pm and restaurants really shut down for the evening. I like to stay up a bit later when visiting other towns, so it was cool to find out which restaurants are open an hour or two later, which Marcus helped us our with. The signature cocktails are delicious and made with care. When we get back to California this week we'll definitely visit Marcus at the Crescent Hotel. read more

Amazing hospitality. Super nice staff, very accommodating. They helped me find places around to dine & had such welcoming personalities.

Always a great time at this hotel! I've been coming here for years. You don't have to deal with the stress of a lot of people or crazy prices. The photos are sooo cool & I just found out you can buy them! Every room is comfortable & you don't have to walk all day to get to your room. I'm always treated like a king here, so I'll def be back soon! The staff is super friendly - Jonathan /Michelle thanks again for everything. Only thing that kinda sucks is the $30 fee but you get breakfast with it. But overall, it's a 5 star experience everytime! Enjoy your stay! read more

Very disappointed. I had money stolen from inside my bag at the hotel. It was well kept away and not a easy find.

Cheap everything. It's more of an Airbnb or a hostel than a hotel. You will hear every conversation in the hallway and the restaurant staff cleaning the dishes. Honestly feels like a scam. We booked the most expensive room available and highly regret it. Do yourself a favor and book somewhere else. read more

I AM GIVING THIS HOTEL A 0 For taking advantage of small mom and pop businesses like our coffee business who has remained completely faithful each month with delivering coffee beans to provide fir their clientele, even at the last minute when they gave run out of beans for their guests. Their thanks is to stiff us with payment if nearly 2,000 dollars thanks to their owner Greg who makes no effort to pay his bills. He uses the excuse of Covid, but let's be honest eat here... to make a payment plan does not take much!! Highly recommend NOT stating here or giving your business to snakes like their hotel! I am sure their hospitality is no different with guests!!! read more

My husband and I had the most wonderful stay at the Crescent Hotel in Beverly Hills. It is the cutest boutique hotel. We were greeted in our room with a bottle of wine. Mega win. There was also a little gift. The bed was incredibly comfortable as were the pillows. We had a wonderful night sleep!The service was impeccable and we loved the breakfast. The breakfast may have been the best thing. The bagels were delicious and we loved the whole spread! We sat out on the patio and one of the employees turned on the heat lamp. The best! A woman in a parking structure recommended that we park at Whole Foods. Definitely beat valet parking. We loved the hotel so much that we made a reservation to go back in March for my birthday! Highly recommend! read more

PLEASE PLEASE do not stay here!! I took a little weekend vacation to LA with my boyfriend and we are beyond disappointed :( We arrived on a Thursday night after a day of driving and museum hopping to find out that our room was not ready and there was a mix up with our reservation. Initially, it was not a big deal but we ended up waiting in the lobby for an HOUR to only be put in a downgraded room for the night. We were told things were sorted out that night and that our room would be ready to be moved into the next morning. Friday comes and our room was STILL not ready. After some waiting we were given our check in information and STILL DID NOT GET PLACED IN THE ROOM WE PAID FOR. The bathrooms for both nights (although clean) were tiny and had the tiniest (and also cement?!) shower I had ever been in. This was extremely frustrating as we had already been downgraded the previous night and was not what we initially paid for. Friday's room was only slightly bigger than the previous night and was not what we paid for at all. Also, our room this night was on the second floor and they don't have elevators so we had to carry all of our luggage up the stairs. My boyfriend and I are usually very patient people when it comes to these matters but SONDER did not repair their mistakes and we will not be staying here again. I do appreciate how kind the front desk people were and I am aware it was not their fault, but SONDER corporately definitely has some things to work on. read more

Find another place to stay. I came here for a work trip on a Thursday. Upon checking in, my room hadn't been cleaned; there was hair in the shower and the sink. There was a large red stain on the bed sheet. I told the front desk, he was kind and offered a free bottle of wine and got housekeeping to clean the room. Upon returning, the room still had hair. Our room was right above the restaurant and had windows that were broken, they didn't close all the way. Later that night, there was private party that rented the restaurant. This was a loud party- there were speakers set up (right below our room at that) and music played till 12am ON A THURSDAY NIGHT. Told the front desk I came here for an interview, specifically booked this hotel because it said they enforce quiet hours after 9pm. The front desk person who works at night told me "I'm sorry but they'll be out by 12am." I asked him why they would advertise they enforced quiet hours when they had no intention of enforcing it to which I just got another "sorry." This front desk worker (different from the morning) didn't try to resolve the issue in anyway. This place left a lot to be desired for how much you pay. The only positive experiences I had was the AM front desk worker and the breakfast were amazing. Room cleanliness and noise and the general shabbiness of the room we got was a problem. Would recommend staying at SIXTY Beverly Hills as they both were similar in price/location when I booked. Especially don't stay here if you have a work trip, quiet hours are not enforced. read more

We chose to stay at The Crescent for the proximity to city hall (where we got married) and Nua (the hotels amazing restaurant where we had our reception lunch) and I'm so happy we did! Robbie at the front desk is an amazing human, who was so warm and welcoming when I was coming by to check out the place. In fact, everyone who works there is terrific. It's a very laid back vibe, you immediately feel comfortable. The room was adorable, all of our guests that saw it said the same thing "I'd live here!!" (I would too, honestly.) The location can't be beat, it's walking distance of everything Beverly Hills has to offer. Shopping, dining, drinks, groceries.... My room was very clean, very cute, and very comfortable, and right down the hall from the restaurant, which was so convenient! A very chill, eclectic, modern boutique hotel. I would 1000% stay here again!!! read more

I showed up to the hotel and they cancelled my reservation out of no where right before 4pm. Person at front desk was clueless, called their corporate number and no one was able to confirm why. Multiple people waiting to check-in at 4pm and rooms not ready. Total mess of a hotel. Strongly recommend avoiding. read more

To be clear. This is no longer The Crescent this is now owned by a company called Sondar, which is a joke of a hotel brand. There are no services here, literally nothing. Housekeeping is an extra charge which is the most ridiculous nonsense I've ever heard of in a hotel. The front desk told us this is not a normal hotel. It's more like an air bnb. For the price per night we would have paid a little more and stayed at Mr. C, a much nicer full service hotel. I stayed her several times when it was the crescent, it's sad to see how it's been let go since. The carpet in the halls was dirty, looks like it hasn't been vacuumed in days. Trash was accumulating in the halls, the bathroom looks like a prison cell, the window to our room overlooked a dumpster area which was so loud all night until midnight because of the restaurant below cleaning up. It looks so dirty, Can't believe people are being served food from this area. Overall would never stay here again. read more

Please be warned, this 'hotel' is a hostel at best and 'Sonder' is a total sham. I booked and paid for a premium, large room and was assigned a room so small I cannot even open my two suitcases at the same time. The first thing I noticed was earplugs next to the bed (only 1 set for 2 people), which was a red flag... we learned later that these are provided bc it's so noisy all the time. Noise is not mentioned anywhere on their website or App. I contacted Sonder and was bounced between 3 'customer service' reps via their chat to tell them about the tiny room and how disappointing the accommodation was and I was told that I was assigned the type of room I booked. My reservation (on the app) has photos of the room type I booked and paid for (much larger, two windows instead of 1 and with more furniture), yet my invoice doesn't have a room type written on it. At the time of booking I didn't think anything of the lack of description on the invoice bc I've never arrived at a hotel and been this shocked at the reality of the place. When I brought this up with CS, I was never provided with any evidence of the room type I booked... just the total cost -which was for the premium room. I was told the photos are generic on their site and do not represent the rooms... if I wanted to 'upgrade' I would have to pay the difference- which considering I paid the highest rate available at the time of booking, I'm not sure I understand how their could be a higher rate. I was not offered ANY compensation or even an apology. I will never stay at another Sonder in any city or country and will be making sure that my family and friends never make the same mistake I have by staying at Sonder either. Below 1 star quality across the board and dreadful customer service as well. Not once was I offered a solution, just told that what I know I booked and paid for... was not actually what I booked. A truly pathetic excuse for a company and customer service as well. This is a dreadful place to stay- do yourself a favor and book elsewhere. read more

Small boutique hotel. Informed front desk about the issues with the room. (You can hear everything from the room above!!! You will not be able to get a great night sleep. In addition the room was not clean at all! They did not really care much. "Sorry to hear that". They don't know much what customer service means. They consider themselves a hotel. But they are far from that. For the rate they charge you can easily find a hotel in the area at higher caliber and for better or same rate. Specially with the lack of customer service!! Response was "if you had a car valet with us, we would take care of it". So since I did not have one that means customer service and accommodation stops there. Good to know! read more

Literally the worst hotel I ever stayed at. Staff are SO rude, I was flabbergasted by the way I was treated by them. There are so many other fabulous boutique hotels in that area- definitely AVOID! Nobody should be treated the way I was and I will definitely be taking affirmative action. read more

The Crescent is a charming boutique hotel. From the outside it looks like someone's house. I was in BH for a wedding and pretty much the whole hotel was booked by guests of the wedding so I was able to see friends I haven't seen in a while. I liked that this was a couple blocks away from Rodeo. Rooms are minimalist and sleekly designed but are a bit small. I didn't mind since I don't take up much room anyway. I liked that they had a room iPod that played great chillout music. They also have fruit as a room welcome - granny smith apples that were stylishly displayed in a tall glass. The featherbed was super comfortable and warm on the chilly nights I stayed there. The lounge area was cozy and my favorite was the pebbled fireplace that served both outdoor and indoor lounge. I went down to the bar area for breakfast one morning and had an egg, tomato with balsamic sourdough sandwich. YUM! The hotel staff were friendly and acommodating - from the front desk to the bar, everyone was really nice and laid back. The only complaint was that since it was like being in someone's house you could hear everything. The walls are thin. To the right of me someone was coughing up a lung all night, to the left of me people were talking loud. Oh and in the morning I heard someone upstairs clomping around, washing his face and more....A LOT more. Minus 1 star for the thin walls. I am so glad I brought my earplugs. read more

I want to start off by saying that I never stayed here so I am only commenting on the indoor-outdoor bar/lounge area. This is a cute boutique hotel in beverly hills that has a nice lounge area that offers...get this...s'mores where you can roast them yourself! It's such a simple and awesome idea for dessert but this is like the only place that has it. I must say it is on the pricey side and they use hershey chocolate but its a really nice place to kick-back, have a few drinks, and enjoy such a fun dessert with good company. It has good ambiance and a really laid-back, home-like feel. Picture of the DIY s-mores: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rO-PaZQKLlYvh0-vU8UOLg#zPjw7iI8y3HbOwNcc_3PRQ read more

Crescent Hotel Beverly Hills - S'mores! - Hotels Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

On some nights, it's a bit of a scene in this quiet Beverly Hills neighborhood. Located in a boutique hotel, this bar / lounge is small, and modern. You can definitely relax and talk around the sofa area without people bothering you. There is a small fireplace, and the decor is mostly white with candles. Usually the lounge area is more quiet than the outside patio area. The patio is pretty nice on a warm night, sometimes a small crowd around the front area. The bar is very small, about 2 or 3 bar stools, the service is good. Martinis, $14. Always lucked out here with the street parking, right around the corner. Some nights, the music they play is pretty club like, with hard beats. I've also heard mellow, sexy house as well. The crowd is mid-twenties and up. This place is quaint, and has a low-key energy, more so than say my Hollywood favs like Falcon or Bar Marmount. The Crescent is more what you want to make of it. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth stopping by. Four stars for the elegant, cozy factor. read more

We're staying here at Crescent this weekend because the Beverly Hills hotel was a bit out of our budget! If you know going in that the rooms are small and there are few amenities, than you'll be fine. We actually lucked out and are staying in a more spacious room than most. Stay at Crescent for location and to have a place to hang your hat... it's clean and the staff is friendly enough but this is not a five star hotel by any means. read more

There is something about a little out of the way bar that does it for me, places exactly like the lounge inside the Crescent Hotel. The location is in the busy portion of Beverly Hills but it has an "off the beaten path" feel to it. I can't speak to the hotel rooms but as far as the bar goes, I'm a fan. It's chic, intimate, mellow, with a modernized swanky cocktail list. Great wine too. Perfect place for a little one on one time or a group looking for an upscale cocktail hour. Fireplace inside, comfortable chairs, another fireplace outside on the patio. Music at just the right volume; notable and complimentary to the ambiance, not overpowering. The bar staff was stellar, they mix a mean drink. I'm into it. Beverly Hills boasts a number of great drinkeries and I'd toss this bar in that conversation any time. As I said, it gives me a little vibe that it's under the radar compared to some of the other bars/lounges in the vicinity. I stopped by on a Thursday night so maybe it's a bit more lively on a Friday or Saturday, but personally I liked the low-key atmosphere. I know my booze and what the Crecent served up was pricey but worth it, you get what you pay for. I think their signature cocktails were around $15. I'm impressed, I have a feeling I'll be back soon. read more
