The Beverly Hills Hotel runs $1,434 a night against $1,008 at the Four Seasons, a $426 premium for the Sunset Boulevard address, the Polo Lounge and the banana-leaf wallpaper. The Beverly Hills Hotel scores marginally higher (9.4 vs 9.2) on fewer reviews, and it lists golf as a facility the Four Seasons doesn't have. If budget is the deciding factor, book the Four Seasons and use the savings on the spa treatments it offers that the Pink Palace's listing doesn't mention. If you want to actually be inside a piece of Hollywood history, pay the difference.
This is the hotel Don Loper decorated in 1948, the one with the banana-leaf wallpaper (Martinique pattern, still there) and the pink-and-green colour scheme that has never once tried to be tasteful in a modern sense. It sits low behind hedges and palms on Sunset, more resort than tower, with bungalows scattered through the grounds where studio executives used to cut deals and stars used to hide. The Polo Lounge is dark leather booths and old Hollywood ghosts; the Fountain Coffee Room is a 1950s soda-counter relic with a curved counter and stools. The pool has underwater speakers and cabanas that cost more than some hotel rooms. It draws people who want the myth, not just the mattress.
Right for people who want the actual Hollywood set piece, the Polo Lounge, the bungalows, and don't mind paying for the myth.
Set back on Doheny at the edge of Beverly Hills, this is a taller, glassier, more contemporary building than its rival - rooms open through French doors onto private balconies, which is unusual for a city hotel and gives even a business trip a bit of air and light. The interiors read as calm and current rather than storied: neutral tones, modern furnishings, nothing trying to evoke an era. The full-service spa and outdoor pool put the emphasis on comfort and service rather than legend. It's the choice for people who want five-star reliability without the theatre.
Right for travellers who want a dependable, contemporary five-star base with a spa and private balconies at a noticeably lower nightly rate.
The Four Seasons' listing doesn't mention golf, which the Beverly Hills Hotel offers as a facility; otherwise the gap is address, history and the specific theatre of the Polo Lounge rather than any missing amenity.
The Beverly Hills Hotel is the more beautiful and characterful place to be, because Don Loper's banana-leaf wallpaper and the bungalow grounds carry seventy years of specific atmosphere that a well-run contemporary tower simply can't manufacture.

Nothing on our list that The Beverly Hills Hotel lacks.
“I waited in the lobby for 20 minutes—twice—while my partner was inside, and the staff never once informed her that I was waiting.”
Four Seasons guests come away happier overall, as reviews consistently praise consistent staff care, the pool, and comfort, while Beverly Hills Hotel reviews more often mention inconsistent service and dated amenities despite its iconic status.
“Iconic hotel”
Iconic, gorgeous pool and rooms
Service was hit and miss, service with an attitude and when paying 2000 USD a night I would expect service to be outstanding, during breakfast often I was not greeted but said want coffee? and others were greeted etc, so do think service levels are equal to everyone
“Ticked off the list but don’t feel the draw to return”
Iconic building with unmatched history Staff were friendly
No coffee facility in the room!! Bath amenities are not plentiful or as high end as I would expect Bath water stopper didn’t work No signature scent to the hotel - surprising they haven’t considered that as a branding opportunity 45 minute delay to check in (past 3pm) with no goodwill offer other than a sorry…..
“Amazing 3 night stay!”
Had the most incredible 3 night stay!! Booked balcony deluxe room and had requested to face back of hotel/high floor since we are light sleepers. Sam in in-house reservations was amazing and our room on 15th floor was the most quiet room ever!! Everyone at hotel super friendly and everything very clean, beautiful decor. We especially loved The Penalty box to watch Cup games. Breakfast and room service also great. Co
“Four Seasons…always a good Choice”
The Four Seasons Hotel on Doheny Drive is a truly wonderful hotel from which to explore beautiful Beverly Hills. The hotel is very well-maintained, the reception staff was friendly, and our Hollywood Suite was spacious and cozy. Since we were staying on the ninth floor, we were able to make wonderful use of the two balconies. On the fourth floor is the pool area, which is spacious for an LA city hotel. A pretty poo
“Old timey Luxury, soon should get a little facelift.”
Long (10 day) business stay at the Four Seasons. Atmosphere: luxurious, yet understated. Harkens back to the early 2000 and one can easily understand why many celebrities opt to stay here, away from prying eyes. The lobby could use a bit of a refresher. Service: top notch, especially Tom the bellman and housekeeping. Check in desk was courteous but nothing extraordinary. Location: decent, but action is at least a 20
