What you're near — and what you're not
- Beverly Hills shopping and Rodeo Drive
- Sunset Boulevard
- Quiet residential setting
- Beaches and the Westside coast
- Downtown LA and the Arts District
- Reliant on driving for most outings
What you're paying for
A mix of rooms, suites and the famous garden bungalows. Bungalows are the signature splurge and the most private option; standard rooms are still firmly in the luxury tier. Expect a resort-grade fee structure and very high rates year-round.
Plan it well
- Cost
- Very high; top luxury tier
