    I lived in L.A. for a short period of time and on my last night in town, we went out to the strip for a few drinks. I was a little drunk and sad that I was leaving-and lamenting the fact that I had never seen the inside of the BHH. So on the way home, I asked my Cali friend if he could stop there-I was going in. I marched into the lobby, after midnight I might add-and explained my dilemma. And the staff couldn’t have been any nicer…they showed me around the lobby area, gave me some matchbooks, postcards, pens and stationary. It was very sweet of them and a cool memory. And some day I shall stay there!

    As a former employee of the BHH this was a nice walk down memory lane. I loved seeing all the familiar places, and they have not changed much, it's a classic. One of the things we were known for was our customer service, but i didn't see you interacting with much of the staff, and i don't know if that's post covid or things have just changed there. For example any time we had a new guest checking in we would walk them to the room to and tell them about the hotel then point out how to operate features in the room. It was a nice one on one experience that most hotels didn't offer. We would have let you know about the coffee situation and if you wanted, have housekeeping send up a coffee maker. I know it seems weird, but that was the level of one on one customer service we were going for, a real guest interaction instead of just a nameless faceless anywhere hotel that was not memorable. We had so many guests that said they felt like we were family, we knew them by name, and they knew their favorite staff by name. Ahhh, the good old days. Like i said, maybe post covid has changed that type of interaction :(

    ​@@irenedavo3768$1200 is literally the LOW END for a Luxury Boutique Hotel like Beverly Hills Hotel. You'd prob have a heart attack if you found out the prices of the higher-end suites there. The vast majority of people who stay there, money is not an object for them; $1200/night is chump change for them. And if you're working there, the tips are AMAZING. Rich clientele tend to be VERY generous with the tips. I also like that they pay their employees a reasonable wage, well above minimum in addition to the tips. You could actually live off your pay here.

You have to go to the restaurant and buy. I only ever got tea/coffee making in a Holiday Inn. Take a mini boiler with you.

    I had the dough to stay in one of the bungalows there around 2002. The old inheritance thing. So I looked on line at all the pics of them. Oh my... I like the vibe at the hotel. You CAN just go to the pool and get drinks without staying there. (I didn't stay there) But the separate bungalows are supremely swankarooney. One or two have their own pools, a grand piano in one, and the 40's lux furnishings are really grand. Plus the old vegetation around the place makes it that much more cozy. So, DO look up the five or six bungalows there and see the pics. People stay in these for weeks...to write or escape. Very rich people...

    I stayed at a resort in Missouri and there was multiple gift baskets and a fridge filled with drinks and their where notes stating "no extra cost, so enjoy at your leisure". You could even request a bus to help get to specific part of the resort and related attractions, no extra cost. Plus the website also shows the after tax prices straight up and no hidden fees. (The taxes where 8%, so not any different than sales tax here). I grew up in California, so I was use to resorts trying to nickle and dime you, so even though the place was not cheap, it actual felt like you got what you paid for.

We loved the old Hollywood ‘Rat Pack’ atmosphere that the place still has with all the stars of yesteryear staying there and partying. We thoroughly enjoyed our time spent poolside. I didn’t swim, but my husband and son did and told me that whilst swimming under the water there was piped Frank Sinatra music that could be heard whilst under the water, how amazing was that?

I found service in UK to be less than expected because tipping is included in many services whether it's good of mediocre.

    I've been lucky enough to stay at the BHH several times. Almost like its own little world, it was tough to leave for meetings, shopping or even sightseeing. The staff were always amazing, the Polo Lounge and Fountain Cafe embodied old Hollywood. Loved the pool, and had quite a bit of late night fun in the Polo bar. The prices were always exorbitant, now more than ever it seems. Would I return? Most definitely!

    It actually has NOTHING to do with BHH not affording health care. It literally has to do with a tax they are required to charge by the STATE. I'm not even sure what the complaint is here, btw. Even in other countries where they off "free" healthcare, it isn't actually free because you still pay into it with taxes. Nothing in this world is truly "free".

    Also want to mention that Beverly Hills Hotel is probably one of the better hotels that actually pay their employees VERY well compared to the bigger franchises who barely pay their workers pennies. You can actually live off your pay working at BHH; the base hourly rates are far more generous AND the tips are amazing because of the higher-end clientele with money blowing out of their nostrils. It's weird to make such wild assumptions about a place just because you'll never be able to afford to stay there. Comes off as more envious than anything.

    The tax and various add-ons are something that America seems to love! And, of course, can add astronomically to the bill.

It is, without doubt, an experience to stay there but very much at a cost. Appreciate you doing so for us and providing an, as always, enjoyable video. (You were correct to tip the porter.)
