At $1,434 versus $601 a night, The Beverly Hills Hotel costs more than double the West Hollywood EDITION, and the rating gap (9.4 versus 8.4 across a smaller review pool) tilts toward the older property too. The Beverly Hills Hotel is on Sunset in Beverly Hills proper, the EDITION about 2.5 km east on the West Hollywood stretch of the same boulevard, a difference in scene rather than distance. Book the EDITION for the sharper, more design-forward stay and the rooftop; book the Beverly Hills Hotel if the banana-leaf-and-bungalow mythology is the point of the trip.
The Pink Palace opened in 1912 and got its stucco-and-candy-stripe identity from later renovations, with the banana leaf wallpaper (Martinique pattern) in the lobby corridors that has become its signature. The Polo Lounge is green leather booths and old Hollywood clubbability; the Fountain Coffee Room is a 1950s counter with stools, unchanged in feeling if not in fact. Bungalows scattered through subtropical gardens are where the real money and privacy go, each one a small stucco house rather than a hotel room. It draws old money, industry veterans, and people paying for the set dressing of classic Hollywood as much as the bed.
People who want the Beverly Hills institution itself, the bungalows, and the old Hollywood ritual, and can pay for it.
The West Hollywood EDITION is Ian Schrager's project with John Pawson-inflected minimalism running through it: pale stone, restrained lines, a lobby that reads more gallery than hotel foyer. It leans on white-box calm rather than pattern or ornament, with a shared lounge, billiards room and terrace pulling guests into common spaces rather than tucking them away in bungalows. The rooftop is the social centre after dark, a scene that trades old Hollywood glamour for a younger, design-conscious, industry-adjacent crowd. It sits on the busier, more commercial run of Sunset, closer to the Strip's nightlife than to Beverly Hills quiet.
People who want sharp contemporary design, a rooftop scene, and West Hollywood's energy at under half the price.
The West Hollywood EDITION has no listed hot tub, the one thing the pricier hotel offers on top of its pool and bungalows; everything else is a difference of scale, garden grounds and celebrity mythology rather than a missing amenity.
The Beverly Hills Hotel is the more beautiful place to be, precisely because it commits to a period fantasy of banana leaves, pink stucco and bungalow gardens that the EDITION's clean minimalism, however well done, isn't trying to compete with.

“Service, cleanliness and standard of room was top notch.”
Guests at The Beverly Hills Hotel come away happier overall, as its praise for exceptional service and iconic charm outweighs occasional service lapses, whereas The West Hollywood EDITION's high scores are tempered by recurring complaints about noise and a rowdy atmosphere.
“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…..
“Service, cleanliness and standard of room was top notch.”
The noise, even though I was on the 7th floor, loud noise and sirens was very disturbing for 2 out of the 3 nights I stayed there.
