Why superb? Where do I start? I checked in around 8am (after a terrible night at The Biltmore (see review) and got a room (as requested) with excellent southern views and a huge balcony (with double glazing) over Santa Monica Blvd. The breakfast is over 30 dollars but very healthy and the hotel is 5min away from Rodeo Drive. Only complain, there is no bath, just shower that disperses the water all over and takes longer to wash. However all attractions are some 30 dollars fixed fare away (make sure you ask your driver and do not engage in further conversations with them - will simply drive you mad) and the airport 42 dollars. Do visit:
- west: Santa Monica pier and small aquarium underneath (part of goLosAngelesCard - check the site for deals to attractions), take a bike (goLAcard) to Venice beach (some 20min) and see the crazy things and gorgeous condos (check the wooden one). Walk through 3rd St promenade in Santa Monica (loved its shops and buzz - so real and European), the nearby mall with so cheap stuff and packed with Brits. Also check the Getty centre on top of a mini mountain (take their free luxurious tram) and see their FREE collections described by them as "the most ecclectic around the world", get free salty biscuits and sweet (if you like taking advantage of that). What I really liked were the great southern views and that amazing, healthy soup that makes me salivate even now.
- east: Hollywood Blvd with Kodak theatre, Gauman theatre and Guiness place (all part of goLAcard). Take the tours from Starline (again goLAcard) visiting Hollywood, Melrose, Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Rodeo and learn the more interesting stories about Mae West etc - the place will slowly grow on you and you will find a reason for the dumps like Viper Room to exist. Take the metro to Universal City (only 1.25 dollars one way) and get ahead of the queues (part of goLAcard), take a train to the sets of diff movies and be mesmerised by the special effects for King Kong, The fast and the furious, The Scorpion King (even a sceptic like me got amazed), then go to the 30min shows of The Terminator, Waterworld and The Animal show (worth the effort - trust me)
- I was not impressed with the shops on Melrose or The Grove, much better choices in Santa Monica (that is the place)

Tips:
- ask the taxi drivers for fixed fares (I found this to be cheaper than renting a car if you add the fee/insurances/SatNav/hotel parking/petrol), this applied even to black stretch limos
- if interesting in attractions, check go Los Angeles card site
- be prepared to pay unshamedly high prices even for an anemic sandwich (around 10 dollars) near the Kodak theatre
- e-mail the hotel with your request, they take good care of you (free English muffins with morning tea - if you are after that)
- get a seat in the plane on the right hand side (if you want to have a great view from near the airport to the Hollywood sign), the landing runs from east to west (although our pilot said otherwise)

I found the people to be extremely polite. respectful and polite. Surely I'll be back.

I stayed here for 7 nights with my wife and son (16yrs). The hotel was fantastic, the staff were freindly and helpful. The room was large, clean and very comfortable, it had a large HD TV on the wall.
The gym was good and provided water and fruit to the users. Bottled water was expensive in the mini bar ($8, it was sold for ($4 in the hotel shop) but apparently free to gym users so use the GYM.
PARKING. This was self park or valet parking. The self-parking was $25 a day (not too bad) There was a wide selection of movies to choose from inside the room all at $15 each.
BREAKFAST. This was by way of a voucher redeemable in the lobby bar and enitiled you to a tea or coffee (not a latte or other special coffee) and a muffin (small muffin)
FOOD & DRINKS. we ate in the restuarant on our arrival which was proabaly an error, the food was good but it was the priciest meal we had away. Wine was about $14 a glass and the cocktails similar so be prepared. Teas and coffees were between $2-4 dependant upon what you had.
This hotel had local events on every day / evening in its function. These caused us no inconvenience and even provided celeb spotting opportunities (Roger Moore, paris Hilton, Sharon Stone, Dolph Lungdren)
SUMMARY not the cheapest hotel but it was great and felt like value for money, also never having been to LA before I would recommend Beverly Hills as an area to stay.

I can only mirror the great comments about this hotel. We recently had a 3 night stay here, and left wishing we had booked for longer .
We were given a cabana room overlooking the pool. The pool area looks fantastic at night as Trader Vic's bar is located there and the lighting is fantastic.
Check-in took no time at all and every member of staff we encountered in the hotel, were extremely friendly.
Rodeo Drive is only a short walk away and other area attractions not far by car.
We have stayed in many good hotels over the years. The Hilton has to rate as one of our favourates. I would not be surprised if we go back here before too long.

As far as first impressions go this one is astronomical. I was really impressed with the polietness and speediness of the checking in process (After an 11 hour flight, you don't really want to be hanging around too long).

We were offered an upgrade for only £40 a night, which we thought was fantastic. We were given a room in the Wiltshire tower overlooking the hills with a large balcony. We could see the lower class rooms from ours and were glad of the upgrade. These didn't have a balcony, nor can we imagine they had a very good view.

The room was overall absolutely fantastic, the bathroom was brilliant with free Occtaine smellies and snuggly bathrobes. The shower and toilet combo was a good idea, but the TV above the sink counter was really cleaver.

The bed (as mentioned in previous posts) was very comfotable, if a little high. We used the turn down service on our last night and was left with a little box of chocolates and an exotic flower. Beware of the costs of room service, identical items can be purchased in the Hotels shop for 1/2 the price! (I'm sure this is quite normally but $8 is quite a lot for a bottle of water!)

We only brefily used the swimming pool, but was very impressed with the placial loungers and free Fuji Water.

Every morning we were presented with a newspaper, starbucks tea/coffee and muffin. This was very handly and saved us some money.

We only used the car twice, but as cabs are quite expensive and the whole city is quite diverse, this if a very handy service. We were very impressed with the concierge, who ordered us many a taxis and a table at House of Blues for the gospel brunch.

Overall an absolutely fantastic hotel and well worth the money.

We stayed at Beverly Hilton for three nights. It is located in a fantastic location. Just a short walk from Rodeo Drive and the beautiful houses of Beverly Hills.
The rooms are large, new and bright. The bed is very comfortabe.
The staff are very friendly and professional. We also found the concierge very approachable and helpful.
The bars in the lobby and next to the pool were great. Unfortunatley, the weather was not warm enough to use the pool.
This is an excellent hotel and I would definitely stay there again.
