Fodor's Review:

This French Riveria-style palace is a favorite of Hollywood bold-face names, but all kinds of visitors consistently describe their stay as near perfect—though very expensive. Rooms overflow with antiques, artwork, and marble; high-tech room amenities and flat screen TV are controlled by a bedside panel. Service is exemplary and always discreet. Soak up the sun by the fifth-floor pool with its fully outfitted cabanas or sip afternoon tea in the living room under ornate chandeliers. Belvedere, the hotel's flower-filled restaurant, is a lunchtime favorite for film business types. A complimentary Rolls-Royce is available for short jaunts in Beverly Hills. Pros: central, walkable Beverly Hills location, stunning flowers, one of the best concierges in the city. Cons: serious bucks required to stay here, somewhat stuffy.

Went for a special one night birthday treat, stayed in a villa room with fireplace. The room was cozy and nice, but not spectacular, nor as immaculate as it should've been, though it was definitely the highest price I've ever paid for a hotel room... Nice, but not nearly as nice as the Beverly Hills Hotel, where the room was nicer and service was also so much friendlier ... I definitely felt the treatment was at the Peninsula was a bit condescending because I was a "nobody". (Have never gotten that feeling from other 5 star hotels.)
All in all, wished I would've stayed somewhere else. Not sure why it's supposedly one of the world's best...
