Arrival/Check-In: From the moment your car pulls up, staff are attentive and ready to assist. Doors open for you, a server at the hotel’s bistro, Avec Nous, notices if a guest feels chilled and offers a shawl, and the team anticipates needs before they are asked for. At Viceroy L’Ermitage Beverly Hills, service is thoughtful, discreet and consistent.
Set on a quiet, tree-lined street just a short walk from Rodeo Drive and other Beverly Hills attractions, the hotel provides a calm retreat amid the city’s bustle. Its discreet location and refined atmosphere make it a favorite for visitors seeking privacy as well as those hoping to be near the area’s premier shopping and dining.
Guest Quarters: The guest rooms and suites are designed with comfort, convenience and thoughtful technology in mind. Multifunction control panels allow guests to adjust lighting, set the temperature, lock doors and request service. Suites include generous marble dressing areas with full mirrors and adjustable lighting for makeup, curated artwork, and televisions subtly integrated into mirrors opposite deep soaking tubs. Bathrooms feature separate marble finishes and rain showers, while nightstands incorporate charging ports and USB outlets for easy device use.
The studio suite I experienced made efficient use of about 650 square feet, with a custom couch and seating area, a functional work alcove with the necessary connections and French doors that open onto a balcony. The property originally housed private residences and now offers 116 newly renovated suites, each reflecting a blend of luxury and practical design. The expansive rooftop deck and pool present sweeping views of Beverly Hills and the Hollywood sign, and guests enjoy extras such as turn-down service, a welcome tray of sweets and bottled water, plus attentive desk and concierge staff.
Services and Amenities: The spa and wellness center are reserved for hotel guests and provide a curated selection of treatments, massages and rejuvenation services. The fitness center is well equipped and was scheduled for further updates, including new, state-of-the-art equipment to enhance the workout experience.
Dining at Avec Nous is a highlight. The restaurant offers a contemporary interpretation of a French bistro with inventive Italian and Spanish influences. Even shortly after opening, the kitchen presented an inventive menu thoughtfully prepared and paired with a growing wine list. Service is polished and unobtrusive, complementing the relaxed yet refined dining atmosphere.
The Experience: With honors such as Forbes Five-Star and AAA Five Diamond, Viceroy L’Ermitage Beverly Hills delivers an experience that is both sophisticated and welcoming. Designed to pamper discerning travelers, the hotel balances understated glamour with attentive service, making it a memorable stay in an iconic city.
