L'Ermitage Beverly Hills, 9291 Burton Way, Beverly Hills, USA
It
was a fourteen-hour flight from Brisbane to Los Angeles, although the
flight with Qantas was quite pleasant with minimal turbulence on
board and plenty of snacks to stop my stomach from making freakish
noises. When we arrived however, we were tired and slightly
jet-lagged.
We
made a reservation at the L'ermitage in Beverly Hills well in
advance. I was eager to stay at this establishment as I had read that
many well known celebrities have either held parties or stayed here.
Now a part of the Viceroy Hotel Group, this five-star hotel is
discretely located on the wide, palm-tree lined Burton Way in the
prestige residential section of Beverly Hills, yet still a short way
away from the glamourous and touristy Rodeo Drive.
Check-in
was effortless and we were offered an early check-in at 10am.
Our
room was spacious and simple, no sleek modern designs or over-the-top
gold gilded beds, but it was very comfortable, serene and well
equipped with all the latest gadgets. The bathroom was particularly
spacious with a large shower, comfortable two person bath tub and his
and hers sinks and closet space.
I
quite liked the private balcony despite there being no real view
whatsoever as I thought it was pretty cute overlooking the lush
hedges.
L'ermitage
is also equipped with a S500 Mercedes as their hotel car that can
take you to any place within a three mile radius of the hotel. We
found the car quite handy and used the service a few times during our
stay with minimal fuss.
The
hotel also has a beautiful roof-top swimming pool that provides a
360-degree view of the city as well as private cabanas. I should've
taken a photo of it when I had a chance, but we never ended up having
a sun-baking day as we had originally planned given there was too
much else to do.
The
service was very personal and we found the concierge to be rather
helpful as they managed to get bookings for us at a number of popular
restaurants.
We
really enjoyed our stay at the L'ermitage in Beverly Hills, the
experience was intimate and the service was very efficient and
effortless.
