Beverly hills
 

We are thinking of staying at the Beverly Hills hotel and the Regent Beverly Wilshire next month and would welcome any comments or advice regarding the hotels. <BR>

Grew up there. The BW is right on Wilshire & Rodeo. The BH is away from the triangle district where you will most likely sightsee. Both have good reputations; however, I would stay at the BW for touring because you can woalk everywhere and there's traditionally NO PLACE TO PARK.

I stayed at the BW last August and had a pleasant time there. Nice facility, good service, good room service food, nicely furnished and clean rooms, and, as Cherie points out, centrally located. <BR>Not the top of the line, but definitely a serious hotel.

About a year ago I stayed at Hotel Nikko in BH. It was quite elegant. Several "hot" music groups happened to be staying there at the time. My kids flipped out when I said I swam laps with the Beastie Boys!

Be nice to the staff at the Beverly Hills Hotel please! <BR>(my dad works there)

Don't forget to consider the Peninsula Hotel as well! It's much newer and more beautiful than the other two (centrally located as well)!!

I would try the Peninsula. It is wonderful! Great location too. If you prefer one of the other two, the Regent Beverly Wilshire has a better location to walk around Beverly Hills. Enjoy!

Personally thought the Beverly Prescott was the best in BH. Its just a short walk up the hill from Rodeo Drive. One of the most beautiful, definately THE cleanest, whimsical, charming and friendliest hotels I've every used. (I travel a lot.) However, it was purchased in 1998 by Rennaisance hotels. Who knows how they may have degraded the place. Might still be worth a look.
