The Peninsula Beverly Hills is eight floors of quintessential elegance--a sparkling diamond even in the world of Beverly Hills luxury. Everything, from its flawless service to immaculate design, whispers perfection. While there, I had the pleasure of meeting the manager--who, despite her grand responsibilities, paused to handle my ridiculously tiny, piddly request--something so trivial it's far beneath a GM's duties. That moment spoke volumes. The garden bar was just one glimmering facet of this gem. If you're in Beverly Hills, indulge in the splendor--because at The Peninsula, it's not just a stay; it's pure, refined magic. read more

Our party of four enjoyed an afternoon tea in The Living Room this past weekend. A gorgeous venue indeed! Overall, the service was graceful and anticipatory. Our teacups were refilled before we realized they needed to be. Our food allergies were met with ease and grace. It was the first time dining out that we did not feel extra attention given to the table for our food allergies. Daniel simply named our allergen free replacements without over explanation or extra attention, just as he presented the other tiered trays to our table. How lovely to feel as though our allergens were just taken "par for the course" and we weren't made to feel as though are needs were subject to commentary. We did have a frustrating element of our experience. 3/4 of our party had leftovers, which the service team packaged out of sight. Each of us received leftovers and the individual Peninsula cake in a bag. My adult daughter didn't have leftovers, so she didn't receive a bag, so she didn't receive her cake. We noticed after we had retreated beyond the lobby. At that time my daughter didn't want to go back and make a fuss with one of the employees and quite frankly I didn't blame her. It felt like a faux pas to go ask someone for a cake that should have been given to her already. Especially when we spent $700 for the experience. At that price - at any price - we should receive every element included in the tea service. There's no excuse to omit one of the featured elements of the tea. I'm quite frustrated by this Less Than 5-Star Service and there's no recourse for us. It's not like we can just zip on down to collect a cake that should have already been given to us. We live over 2 hours away! This once-in-a-lifetime event, as delightful as it was, has been marred by the lack of service demonstrated by the fact that every member of our party did not receive the cake we paid for, were promised, and were very much looking forward to. read more

By far the most beautiful hotel i've stayed in! I went for just a weekend and wow the staff couldn't have been more friendly/polite. The rooms are absolutely beautiful and not a spec of dust anywhere, maids cleaned (without us asking) even if we just left for a few hours. They do afternoon tea, and have so many facilities spa, fitness etc. Also the room service was excellent they serve delicious food and great portions. We visited during the holidays it was all set up for Christmas and Hanukkah. It was so cute, also smelled so amazing throughout the lobby like fresh pine! I wish I had more time there, cannot wait to go back. They also had Dyson hair dryers, as a hairstylist myself I could not thank them enough lol! read more

IStayed here more times than I can count. Drinks 1-3 times a week. Christmas Eve with the staff. The doorman, the piano player, the waiters who actually knew your name. That Peninsula was worth every dollar. Now I have the Waldorf!!! That Peninsula is gone. What's left is chronically understaffed, overpriced, and seemingly indifferent to the difference. Management has turned over three times. The people who made it special have left. And then there's Joy -- name is a joke, we call her Storm Cloud Joy -- the coldest server in Los Angeles. She's seen us over 20 times and gets ruder each visit. She's still there. The good ones aren't. I left a 1-star review. Nick Shultz, the F&B Director, replied publicly -- thanked me for my feedback, asked me to reach out, left his email. I did. Silence. That public reply was pure optics. No follow-through, no accountability, no interest in actually fixing anything. And that right there is why nothing changes. If you want to see what Peninsula-level hospitality actually looks like in 2025, go to Baldi at the Waldorf. Insane rooftop, incredible bar, staff that makes you feel like a guest. Or the Four Seasons. Both are operating at a level The Peninsula used to own. Some brands lose their shine and die on the vine. This one's well on its way. read more

Lovely rooftop brunch. Great food made me something special that was not on the menu. Valet parked the car so my handicap mother did not have to walk very clean bathroom.

DO NOT hang up on guests, period. We had a problem in the room and it was 80 degrees. I understand it takes time to resolve but communication is critical when the room fee is $1500/night. Skyler hung up the phone during the conversation and I find that wholly unacceptable. Do better. read more

This time we stayed at the Peninsula Hotel located in the heart of Beverly Hills. It has a very advantageous location and is within walking distance of high-end shopping areas and major popular landmarks. It is very convenient for traveling and shopping. The entire hotel is decorated in a low-key luxury that combines Chinese and Western styles, integrating retro elements, which is both exquisite and artistic. The hotel is also very friendly to pets. Service dogs can stay for free (no additional pet fees), but the hotel does not provide pet supplies and needs to bring their own. Room experience Although the room is not large, it is very well maintained and every detail is very particular. The bedding is soft and comfortable, and the pillowcases are specially embroidered with the guest's initials, which is very personalized. Each guest is equipped with a dedicated butler. Whether it is check-in or daily dining, it is served one-on-one by the butler, and the experience is very noble. I especially recommend their Peninsula Time service: you can apply for check-in at 6 am and check-out at 10 pm, which is equivalent to an extra day, which is super considerate! Dining experience Breakfast offers a variety of options, especially the Chinese breakfast, which is a pleasant surprise. You can order Chinese food and breakfast in Los Angeles in the middle of the night, which is very suitable for people like us who are prone to hunger in the middle of the night. After breakfast, take a walk in the hotel. You can see European-style buildings with Chinese garden style everywhere. The winding paths are quiet and comfortable, which is very suitable for relaxation. Summary recommendation The Peninsula Hotel not only has a superior location, meticulous service, but also satisfactory dining. It is especially suitable for travelers who pay attention to quality and privacy. If you come to Los Angeles for a trip or want to find a quiet and luxurious space to relax, this hotel is highly recommended. read more

Came here with my mom to celebrate my acceptance to grad school, and we had the most amazing experience. The hotel itself is gorgeous, and we sat at a table with a view of a lovely fountain. There was a harpist too! The staff were extremely thoughtful and welcoming. The service was outstanding! We got the classic tea, which came with plenty of food, a glass of champagne, and a large pot of tea for each of us. Our server recommended me a creamy earl grey tea, and it was one of the best teas I've had! The sandwiches and desserts were so carefully put together and were presented beautifully. We loved the salmon and caprese sandwiches, the scones and their spreads, and the lemon tart. Since we told them we were celebrating, they actually brought out an adorable free cake! This was an unforgettable experience in such a beautiful room, I would definitely recommend and hope to come back! read more

This hotel is the very best in the Beverlly Hills area, surpassing other competition (and very good hotels). The reason the Peninsula is the best is that from the moment you are greeted by the traditionally dressed bellman, the uniforms and tradition go back to the original hotel in Hong Kong. The rooms are spacious and fully equipped with luxurious robes, slippers, Moulton Brown amenities, and, most importantly, custom embroidered pillow covers featuring your initials. The staff, concierges, food, and spa are fantastic, and the best part of the BH Peninsula are the house cars to drive you around the BH village, from shopping, or to lunch and dinner! When it comes to food, they always have authentic Chinese dumplings available at the bar at any hour - amazing! I must say that the Kadoorie family, which owns the Peninsula Hotels out of Hong Kong, is the best hotelier family and company in the world, including the Quail Lodge up in the Monterey area. Thank you! read more

Ordered the churros for dessert at the bar after a meal, and turns out chef had changed the menu. They used to have the churro strips that were so good. They gave you 4 and they were about 8 inches big, with a side of caramel sauce that were so unbelievably good. Well now it's a different story, it's a thin churro like cookie (doesn't even look like a churro), that's sprinkled with chili and something else. I felt a burning sensation in my throat when I was eating it. IT TASTES AWFUL! It would be nice if they went back to the other version. read more

*As Event Venue The Peninsula Beverly Hills is 100% elegance and class. Such a joy to come here during the holiday season. The hotel is decorated beautifully. It's a wonderful upscale choice to have an event both large and small. Customer service here is always excellent. There are so many great dining choices here and each one is a first class experience. Great for a special occasion or celebration. They have a lovely tea room with fire places and a harpist. It's so warm and cozy. There is also quite a crowd at the dark wood paneled Club Bar which serves both food and drinks. It was named one of the Best Hotel Bars in 2019 by Forbes. Lastly, there's the lovely fine dining experience at the Belvedere a white table cloth establishment which serves European fare. The hotel offers valet parking.

All of the vegetarian tea sandwiches were incredible. Carlos did a great job of even telling us which order to eat our food in for the best experience. All staff working today at the 11am seating were absolutely wonderful. If you like high tea and are celebrating something special, I recommend this space! read more

The club bar located at The Peninsula Beverly Hills is an iconic venue. Great cocktail off of S Santa Monica Blvd with a small menu of finger foods and desserts. The atmosphere is casual but far from boring. Reminds me of a gentleman lounge and cigar bar crossover with the dark wood paneling and velvet lined couch seating. It is the ideal spot for a quick lunch while walking around Beverly Hills or a late night night-cap rendezvous. Service was delightful as always. read more

I was excited to go for High tea at the Peninsula BH, and I had a disappointing experience. We were called 45 minutes prior to our reservation, and told no seatings are available. They booked us for the following weekend. We arrived and were seated by the warmest servers Carlos and Eric. The tier of sandwiches and desserts were stales, and scabbed over from sitting for out for quite sometime(the cream cheese turned into a block. I wish I were exaggerating; however, I am be very forthcoming and honest so nobody spends money on this unfortunate tea. Go to Descanso Gardens for tea, and you will not be disappointed read more

My friend took me here for afternoon tea for my birthday. What an experience! Fancy fancy and bery yummy. You enter thru gates to the hotel for valet parking. We paid $29 for valet. You keep walking towards the backnof the hotel and that is the Living Room for afternoon tea. We were directed to a stool below our table where we could put our purses....fancy! Haha even ourbpurses got spoiled. Afternoon tea comes with cider or champagne and I must say the yummiest champagne I've had and I usually don't like brut. They also start you off with some fresh strawberries and cream. Each person gets to select tea and the 3 tier comes with scones, sandwhiches and small desserts. For my birthday they also gave a beautifully decorated mini cake. They celebrate all the birthdays together where candle-lit cakes are brought out and the staff sing. Then later on they bring everyone else cake as well. The food was delicious. I loved every sandwich and the bread was so moist. Fantastic! The staff was so friendly. They also have a harpistvplaying music. They check on you and refill your tea. They happily take your photos. The whole experience was just perfect. read more

Was here for their afternoon tea 5/5 for service! We were well taken care of. They brought out a surprise birthday cake for us and then had a mini cake for everyone in the table so everyone could enjoy. 3/5 for the food. Looks so cute but honestly I've had better foods elsewhere. Too much cream added to every sandwich, I was scraping cream off after the second sandwich. Scones weren't amazingly warm. I prefer whipped cream with scones but they had lemon cream and jam. The caviar on the salmon ... tasted too much like salmon! Notably, the roasted vegetable sandwich was great. The cucumber sandwich had cucumbers sliced thinly so it was easy to eat. Truly a once in a lifetime experience. read more

We enjoyed afternoon tea here last Saturday, and it was quite an experience, which I do recommend trying out. The ambiance was very nice, I loved the harpist, all the flowers, and basically the feel of being in a living room (as we were on a couch). The sandwiches and desserts were tasty, but I think where they really shone was the ambiance and the atmosphere. The service was excellent, our tea cups were never empty, and every one was really friendly. My husband and I did have plenty of leftovers, which we enjoyed the next day. I especially liked the chicken and egg sandwiches. They gave each of us our own Peninsula Cap Cake, which was great with coffee (ate it at home the next day). I would give maybe 3 stars for the food, 5 stars for the ambiance and service. The place was picture perfect. It was also the weekend before Valentine's Day so the theme was Valentine's (see pics). Also, we did find street parking close by, so we did not need to do valet parking. read more

I loved living near the Peninsula Hotel; it was an easy place to slip into to meet clients or friends. Small but cozy, the bar is open to all. Even more exciting is going there to have high tea, which I did with family, clients and surprisingly celebrities that I didn't even know who wanted to join in. (I won't reveal names here!) The high tea is truly an EVENT, as you get served a variety of teas and a display of itty bitty sandwiches and dessert treats that are a feast for the eye and palette. There are shops that have wares that will make you wreck your wallet. The restaurant on the 3rd floor (I think that's right) adjacent to the pool is outstanding food and if you actually care about seeing celebrities, then go for that I guess. The spa is on the same floor and I thoroughly enjoyed the foot therapy sesh which is just as luxurious as anything you can imagine. The pool has gorgeous individual tents to both shield you from onlookers or have you look celeb fab as you sit at the edge. If you go to the end of the pool, you can look out over Beverly Hills neighbors and feel above them all. read more

I came here for drinks since I ate beforehand. When I sat down, the server asked if I wanted sparkling or tap water. I didn't care for water since I was planning to drink but since they offered, I went with tap water. Anyways, I ordered a Green Juice and the Botanist Fairy. Green (5/5) $15 - a detox juice made from apple, cucumber, spinach , celery , parsley , ginger , kale , lemon. According to the server, it's made in-house Botanist Fairy (5/5) $24 - cocktail made from gin, pineapple and basil. Super refreshing The drinks were super good. When I asked for the bill, they charged us $10 for water. I was shocked because if I knew I was being charged for tap water, I would've skipped it since I didn't care for it to begin with. I wish they told us from the start that the water wasn't complimentary like most restaurants. Such a disappointment because I was having a great time until I found out I had to pay $10 for water lol read more

Had an amazing dining experience. Came here on a Saturday the weekend before Christmas, dinner with a reservation at 7 and we were seated promptly and it was very lively. We had Sergio our wonderful server. He was excellent, very thorough & attentive, and took time in explaining the vegan tasting menu. Every entree and dish he brought out he would explain and if he didn't know he would go in the kitchen, ask and come back with a grand story. Sergio has an amazing singing voice! If you ever have him, i hope he sings you a song I was very mesmerized. The server assistants and everyone seemed to enjoy their job. Had such a wonderful experience will be back.

"I have much to say, but I will keep it brief and to the point. If you are Black and not a celebrity, this is one of the worst places to spend your money. As a real estate agent who lives just two minutes away, I attend many events in the area and often stopped by this hotel's bar for drinks or dinner after work. Unfortunately, my experience was overshadowed by the behavior of a specific female manager at the bar downstairs close to the check in area. From the very first time I encountered her, she was rude and unwelcoming. While I initially tried to ignore her demeanor, it eventually became impossible to overlook. On one occasion, her behavior crossed the line, and I began to notice a consistent pattern of different treatment toward people of color. This establishment was once one of my favorite places, but it quickly became one I can no longer support because of this individual's actions. As the bar manager, she is present frequently, making it difficult to avoid this issue. I have since chosen to take my business--and my clients--to other venues like the Waldorf Astoria, where we feel respected and appreciated. I have a photo of the manager in question and will share it to raise awareness about this unacceptable behavior." read more

Came here on a Thursday for their high/afternoon tea. They have a small hidden entrance compared to Hong Kong's location. You can either find parking on the streets or opt for valet. The fancy cars gets parked out in front while other cars are moved to their private lot. We had a party of 12 and we were seated at the big table by the windows facing the entrance. While making the reservation we made a note to have vegetarian items served only. Our whole party was not vegetarian but it made it simpler and more fair for everyone. We had the menus on our table but because ours were vegetarian, the savory items were different so I don't know what we got exactly :') But it was all very delicious! My favorite was the one with a zucchini slice. It tasted like pizza for some reason. The sweets were definitely sweet. As this was my first time here I tried to EAT, not sample, all of them but I couldn't finish 2 at the end. Majority of the sweets was very good. I used some of the "extra" veggies off the savory sandwiches to put on my scones. Because honestly, I prefer to drink sweet stuff instead of eating so I had to improvise a bit. I didn't order champagne (not a fan) so I got sparkling cider instead. For tea, I ordered the dragon crisp gen mai cha. The cider was good, wished I got a refill. The tea was just ok. It wasn't bad but not special either. I'd definitely get something else next time. We had to ask for some to-go boxes at the end and we got the Peninsula cap cake to go. I feel like their boxes and bags could be better or at least offer 2 sizes. Afternoon tea is something you come for the experience and ambiance with good company, not for the food. Overall, I had a great time. The reason why I deducted a star is because I had an issue with the cushions on the sofa. They weren't fluffed up anymore so I kept sinking down into them. I had to keep readjusting my position as my back was aching so it was a bit distracting :( read more
