A Fusion of Art and Luxury

The Beverly Hills Hotel The Beverly Hills Hotel will continue to host its annual series of prestigious events in 2025, including special events celebrating awards season and summer poolside movie screenings. The Fountain Coffee Room will offer a new dining experience in the evenings and showcase custom products in collaboration with Los Angeles' most famous brands. The Beverly Hills Hotel and Hotel Bel-Air will jointly launch a year-long art exhibition project in collaboration with Ackerman Studios and CURA Art. This collaboration will showcase the rich diversity of the Los Angeles art scene, with on-site art installations featuring works by emerging and established artists. Standing at the end of Rodeo Drive, this pink palace has defined the luxury of Hollywood's Golden Age in the Neo-Renaissance style since 1912. Behind the wrought iron gates, an Italian marble spiral staircase winds its way up to a mirrored hall filled with Venetian crystal chandeliers. The film reels held by angels in the dome frescoes allude to the legend of this "back garden of the Oscars." The iconic Fountain Coffee Room features emerald green mosaic-encrusted arches, while in the palm courtyard, the leaves of century-old olive trees caress specially-made bronze sculptures by artists. At night, the lights shine through the Tiffany stained glass windows, turning the garden into a flowing Monet canvas. The Beverly Hills Hotel - Veranda Suite Through a private entrance crafted from wrought iron and marble, the 70-square-meter suite is inspired by the aesthetics of Hollywood's Golden Age, with maple parquet floors and gilded mirror frames bearing the texture of time. The private terrace overlooks the fashionable pulse of Rodeo Drive and the starry sky of the Hollywood Hills. Bespoke Guerlain fragrances are displayed next to the deep soaking onyx bathtub, and the smart control system is hidden in vintage brass switches, which can be touched to activate the fireplace and surround sound system. In the new art season, neon installations from Ackerman Studios will be rotated in the suite, and the original paintings at the head of the bed can be scanned to listen to the artist's audio interpretation. Hotel Bel-Air Hotel Bel-Air continues to drive its culinary innovation with the launch of the new "Living Room" and "French Pastry Shop," complementing the remodeled restaurant and bar & lounge. The four unique venues offer guests a diverse dining experience, from casual snacks to exquisite cuisine. The hotel will also continue to host annual events, including movie screenings under the stars and summer barbecue parties. In addition, the hotel will launch new experiential programs such as caviar and champagne tastings, an exclusive dinner in conjunction with Swan Lake, and a signature afternoon tea. With its exceptional health and wellness services, Hotel Bel-Air will also launch a new spa treatment program. Hidden in a 12-acre secret garden in Bel-Air, this 1950s estate has a Spanish colonial-style architecture as its framework. Under the vine-covered arcades, three swans ripple through the water lily pond. The La Prairie Spa is nestled in a eucalyptus forest, and the glass-domed pool reflects the silhouette of the Hollywood Hills. The century-old wisteria waterfall in the winter garden intertwines with the aroma of the open-air restaurant run by Wolfgang Puck, as if you were in a manor in the South of France. Hotel Bel-Air - Swan Lake Suite The 70-square-meter suite is decorated in Marilyn Monroe's favorite white color, with a subtle contrast between the lily of the valley embroidery on the Hermès silk wallpaper and the Dior Grey matte walls. French windows lead to a private courtyard, where you can watch swans frolic in the open-air jacuzzi in the morning, and immerse yourself in the Frederick Malle scented candlelight by the fireplace at night. The bathroom is equipped with a spa bathtub with a built-in TV, and the marble countertop is decorated with a limited-edition care set co-branded with the art exhibition, with miniature reliefs commissioned by CURA Art engraved on the bottle. Every Friday night in the summer, the emerald pool at The Beverly Hills Hotel transforms into an open-air theater. LED screens floating on the water play classic films such as The Great Gatsby, and guests can lie on Fendi Casa custom floating loungers while waiters serve truffle popcorn and freeze-dried strawberry champagne in Baccarat crystal glasses. The "Light and Shadow Art Corner" is specially set up by the pool, where Ackerman Studios' laser installations change and project with the movie plot.
