The honest take
Book the Maybourne Beverly Hills if you want the higher guest rating, a rooftop pool and the lower price at $1,050 a night. Book The Beverly Hills Hotel if you want the Sunset Boulevard address and the specific Hollywood history that comes with it, at $1,434 a night. Both are five-star and both score well with guests, so this is really a choice between a design landmark and a well-run newer property with better facilities on paper.
The look and the feel
The Beverly Hills Hotel
The Pink Palace is a 1912 Mission Revival building painted the colour it's named for, with the green-and-white banana-leaf wallpaper in the Polo Lounge that Don Loper designed in the 1940s and that has never been allowed to change. The lobby is dim and cool after the Sunset Boulevard glare, all dark wood and low light, built for people who don't want to be looked at. The pool has underwater speakers and the cabanas are the same ones photographed for seventy years; it trades on being unmistakably itself rather than on being current.
Right for people who want the specific mythology of Old Hollywood and don't mind paying a premium for it.
The Maybourne Beverly Hills
The Maybourne is the newer Beverly Hills project from the Maybourne Hotel Group (of Claridge's and The Connaught), on North Canon Drive facing Beverly Canon Gardens rather than Sunset. It reads as calmer and more contemporary than the Pink Palace: Frette linens, a rooftop pool and spa with sauna and hot tub, a bar built for cocktails rather than autograph-hunting. The address puts you in the middle of the shopping streets rather than on the boulevard, a different, quieter kind of Beverly Hills.
Right for people who want a quieter address, a rooftop pool and spa, and a lower price with a higher guest rating.
The Beverly Hills Hotel's listing doesn't mention a rooftop, so anyone choosing the Pink Palace over the Maybourne gives up that rooftop pool along with the spa and sauna facilities the Maybourne lists.
The Beverly Hills Hotel is the more beautiful and characterful place to be, simply because it is one of the few hotels anywhere that looks and feels exactly like the idea of itself.

What guests actually say
The Beverly Hills Hotel
exceptional welcome and attentions
iconic building with history
gorgeous pool and rooms
inconsistent service levels
lacking in-room amenities
“Iconic, gorgeous pool and rooms”
The Maybourne Beverly Hills
excellent room service
wonderful breakfast
fantastic location
unhelpful and rude staff
“The staff were not very good, unhelpful, uninterested and rude except for the door staff.”
Guests at The Beverly Hills Hotel come away happier overall, as reviews praise its exceptional welcome and iconic charm despite some service inconsistency, whereas Maybourne guests report staff being outright unhelpful and rude.
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
5/10
“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…..
