There are hotels out there that are newer, more luxurious and offer higher-end amenities, but they still will not match the level of elegance, sophistication and rich history that this hotel has to offer. Time spent here is not a stay, it's an experience. Management and staff know it and try to cater to it and that sets them apart from any other resort. There's always something going on at the Beverly Hilton: a gala, a fundraiser or a function of somekind that bring out the one percent in droves. So much has gone on here over the years that if walls could talk, they would tell a story that could easily trump the best of what Hollywood screen writers have to offer. The food is very well made and the service is terrific but that's almost a side note to the main event: a history lesson with a healthy dose of (rich) people-watching.
