Nestled in an unassuming corner of Beverly Hills, in the palm-lined boulevard Burton, a certain property has managed to garner quite the star-studded guest list since it first opened its doors in 1975. The L’Ermitage Beverly Hills is a Hollywood favorite, as per guests Angelina Jolie, Margot Robbie, and Jennifer Aniston. Whether you are a celebrity seeking privacy or a traveler looking for a glamorous yet understated home away from home, this all-suite hotel emerges as an ideal option.
Located just a few steps away from the bustling Rodeo Drive, L’Ermitage Beverley Hills is the epitome of quiet luxury. Infused with a certain California charm, the once residential condo maintains its original ambiance and design despite passing through the hands of several owners since brothers Severyn and Arthur Ashkenazy first transformed it into a hotel. The property prides itself on being a tranquil oasis despite being located a stone’s throw from metropolitan chaos. It beckons guests with an aura of refined relaxation to experience the pinnacle of West Coast sophistication, drenched in sunlight.
For the gourmands there is L’ Restaurant. A sophisticated farm-to-table experience that showcases signature dishes crafted from locally sourced ingredients. The menu boasts a mix of classic and contemporary options, appealing to a variety of tastes. Succulent lamb rack, fresh oysters, flavorful beef tartare, and a diverse range of other culinary delights are complemented by a curated selection of beverages designed to enhance every bite. Adjacent to the restaurant, the lobby lounge houses L’Ermitage’s legendary Writer’s Bar where patrons can enjoy live jazz music while savoring their drinks.
The residential-style experience features suites boasting a sophisticated palette of calming neutral tones and all the comfort one might expect in the privacy of their home. With 116 suites the property offers several accommodation options to choose from. However, rest assured that regardless of the suite you find yourself in – options range from the Deluxe classic suite to the coveted L’Ermitage Suite – this is going to be a memorable stay. With luxurious walk-through dressing rooms, full-length triptych mirrors with warm adjustable lighting, and generous vanities, you will find yourself fully immersed in the glamour of old Hollywood. The alluring French balconies and amenities such as monogrammed Frette linen and Diptyque toiletries in the onyx marble clad bathroom add to an already indulgent sojourn.
Elsewhere, the Canopy provides panoramic views of both the Hollywood hills on one side and the dynamic cityscape of downtown on the other. This rooftop retreat invites guests to immerse themselves in a realm of tranquility as they stay cocooned away from the world in private cabanas, or lounge upon the many deck chairs lining the heated pool. For those seeking a more profound and holistic sense of renewal, Ricari Studios offers personalized wellness services including technologically advanced treatments.
It is no surprise that this famed Tinseltown institution was recently ranked among the best hotels in greater Los Angeles and the first in Beverly Hills. Since 2000, L’Ermitage has earned the prestigious Five-Star Hotel Award by Forbes Travel Guide and is proud to be the longest-tenured all-suite hotel with a Forbes five-star rating in the world and a AAA Five Diamond property.
