The renowned Beverly Wilshire, a Four Seasons Hotel, is right in the heart of exclusive Beverly Hills, midway between downtown Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean beaches.

 

The Beverly Wilshire is located on the corner of Wilshire Boulevard and the famous Rodeo Drive, with its designer boutiques and fabulous jewelry stores, and is a great place to see and be seen!  Originally built in 1929 as the Italian Renaissance-style Beverly Wilshire Apartment Hotel, the hotel changed hands in the 1940's and huge renovations and remodelling project added the Grand Ballroom, the pool and a number of tennis courts.  In the 1970's, new owners added the modern Beverly Wing, and updated the accomodations, the ballroom, the pool and a new 800 space underground parking garage.  The Hotel was bought by Four Seasons in 1992, who again updated the rooms, suites and facilities to bring in line with Four Seasons luxurious standards.
