We stayed at the Beverly Hilton when the Academy Awards were in town, and had a fabulous stay! The hotel is very very upscale feeling, yet very affordable. GREAT location!!! Very convenient. The self parking is close, efficient, and very handy. The room was beautiful. We stayed in one with the luxury bathroom and terrace and it was well worth it. The bathroom feels like you're in a spa. The linens on the beds are of a very fine quality. We slept better at the Beverly Hilton then anywhere, including home! We decided to stay an extra night, just to watch more TV on the HUGE plasma TV.
We can't wait to go back. This was our first trip to LA and we were a little nervous about driving and navigating the city, but it was great! Apart from a little back-up on the freeway, the city was very easy to navigate and there was plenty of parking everywhere we went.
Check out North Beverly Drive in Beverly Hills, it's parallel to Rodeo Drive. There are many great restaurants along North Beverly. We ate at Jack 'n Jill’s 3 times because it was so good. Also check out nearby West Hollywood, a very chic urban area that we loved exploring. The Beverly Hilton is also a short drive to Santa Monica; just head straight down Santa Monica Blvd. and you'll be at the pier in no time.
Lastly, don't forget a day at the farmer's market. I think it's along Fairfax. There's great shopping nearby the farmers market too! All in all, we had a wonderful time in LA and we can't to go back. We will not consider staying anywhere else!
