The honest take

Book the Peninsula if you want the higher-rated, more classically luxurious stay and don't mind paying nearly double at $1,111 a night against the EDITION's $601. The Peninsula scores 9.6 against 8.4 and has fewer reviews, suggesting a smaller, more consistent operation. The EDITION counters with a rooftop and golf access the Peninsula's listing doesn't mention, plus a lower price that buys real savings across a multi-night stay. Both sit on the Sunset Strip corridor in Beverly Hills/West Hollywood, 3.4km apart, so location convenience is a wash.

The look and the feel

The Peninsula Beverly Hills

The Peninsula Beverly Hills is a low white palazzo set back from Santa Monica Boulevard behind manicured hedges and a circular drive, built in the early 1990s in a style that borrows from grand European resort hotels rather than LA modernism. Rooms are done in cream and soft neutrals, the kind of palette meant to read as timeless rather than trendy, with marble bathrooms and the fussy comforts of turndown service and fresh fruit. The Belvedere restaurant leans into a European brasserie mood, brass fittings and white tablecloths, with a terrace for dining under the palms. The rooftop pool and spa give it the feel of an old-money retreat, and the crowd tends toward industry executives, discreet money, and people who want a hotel that behaves like a private club.

Guests who want a quieter, service-heavy stay with classic hotel formality and don't mind paying for it.

The West Hollywood EDITION

The West Hollywood EDITION, designed with Ian Schrager's contemporary hand, sits on Sunset Boulevard with a lighter, more playful architectural language, glass, pale stone, and a lobby built for people to be seen in rather than hide from. It has the shared-lounge energy Schrager hotels are known for: a mix of hotel guests and locals drifting between the restaurant, the billiards room, and the rooftop bar as the evening goes on. The terrace and free bikes suggest a hotel angled toward guests who want to move through the neighbourhood rather than stay cloistered, and the overall feel is younger, louder, and more design-forward than old-guard luxury.

Guests who want a design-led, social hotel with rooftop and golf perks at a noticeably lower price.

At $601 versus $1,111, the EDITION doesn't lack facilities on paper, but it trades the Peninsula's marginally higher guest rating and more restrained, service-forward reputation for a livelier, more public atmosphere.

The Peninsula is the more classically beautiful building to walk into, all restrained cream and marble hush, while the EDITION is the more interesting one to be in after dark, and which wins depends on whether you want a retreat or a stage.

We were in town to see the Phantom of the Opera for my girlfriends birthday. I had always wanted to stay at the Peninsula Beverly Hills and our experience surpassed all expectations. The entire staff was extremely welcoming and made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. The Living Room Tea was a terrific experience which I would recommend to anyone. The property was beautifully maintained and our room w

“Superb Service Makes the Difference”

We last stayed at the PBH about 12 years ago. I remembered it as being a very good hotel. But this stay was truly superb. The hotel was much as we remembered--no major renovation that was apparent. So you might think the facilities are getting a little shabby. Nothing could be further from the truth. The hotel gleamed--immaculately clean, extremely well maintained, and classic without seeming dated. The rooms a
