The honest take
Book the Beverly Hills Hotel if the point of the trip is the hotel itself: at $1,348 a night you're paying for the pink stucco, the Polo Lounge, the spa and a piece of Hollywood history. Book the Avalon at $231 if you want a well-designed, well-rated (8.5/10, 344 reviews) place to sleep near Beverly Hills without paying for banana-leaf wallpaper and a century of myth. They sit 2.9km apart in different registers of the same city, so the choice is really about what kind of stay you want, not geography.
The look and the feel
The Beverly Hills Hotel
The Beverly Hills Hotel is the 1912 pink-and-green landmark on Sunset, its banana-leaf wallpaper by Don Loper still in the corridors, its Polo Lounge dark-booth and green-leather old-Hollywood theatre where deals have been done since the studio era. The bungalows out back are where stars historically disappeared; the main pool is cabana-striped and lined with palms, the kind of place photographed since the 1930s. Public rooms run to chintz, brass and thick carpet rather than minimalism, and the whole property has the settled, slightly theatrical calm of a place that has never needed to try.
Guests who want the actual Beverly Hills landmark, its spa, its history and are prepared to pay for it.
Avalon Hotel Beverly Hills
The Avalon, on Olympic rather than Sunset, is built around a boomerang-shaped pool and leans into a crisp mid-century idiom - clean lines, a restrained palette, rooms with minibars and iPod docks rather than history. Viviane restaurant does poolside dining with an indoor-outdoor feel that reads more design-hotel-2010s than golden-age Hollywood. It is smoke-free, tidy, and clearly renovated with an eye on a younger, design-conscious guest rather than legacy glamour.
Guests who want a well-reviewed, stylish, budget-conscious base near Beverly Hills without the legacy price tag.
At $231 the Avalon has no spa and doesn't include breakfast, both of which come with the Beverly Hills Hotel's rate, and it trades pedigree and scale for a smaller, more contemporary boutique setup.
The Beverly Hills Hotel is simply the more beautiful and characterful place to stand in, because it's the real thing an entire era of design was built to imitate, and the Avalon is one of those imitations done well.

“Five-Star Stay at the Avalon Beverly Hills”
I stayed at the Avalon Hotel Beverly Hills for a business trip and had a fantastic experience. My room was in the Beverly Building, directly across the street from the main hotel, and I actually loved being over there. It was incredibly quiet and almost felt like staying in your own private residence rather than a hotel. The room was spotless, the bed was very comfortable, and the shower and amenities were excellent

“Lovely boutique hotel in Beverly Hills”
I loved this little gem of a hotel. It's in a quiet part of Beverly Hills. I really enjoyed the smallness of the hotel. It made it feel more personal. It was not part of a large facility which was a plus for me. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. I didn't use the pool but it looked very inviting. I loved being able to sit out in the pool area and enjoy breakfast. My room was lovely. I had a suite

“10/10 would stay again”
Clean and safe stay in Los Angeles. Waking distance from rodeo drive and the lifts were cheap around the city.
