I stayed at four Hiltons in the Los Angeles area during a one-month period, and the Beverly Hilton provided by far the best combination of comfort, convenience, and ambience.

That this hotel is so centrally located came as a pleasant surprise. I had not known that in sprawling multifocal Los Angeles, it's just about as easy to get to most business destinations from Beverly Hills as from downtown. And the Beverly Hilton is a short walk from a diverse array of appealing shops and restaurants.

The hotel itself is everything a traveler would expect: large rooms, comfortable beds, good amenities, everything clean and in good working order. And I got a better rate here than I had gotten a few weeks before at the dreadful Hilton Checkers.

My only regret is that I did not get a chance to eat at The in-house Trader Vic's. Maybe next time.

The last review I left I was ready to drop Hilton after 7 years of 100% loyalty. The hotel has really taken a stand to make things right. I can now say I am very happy staying here. If I have a problem in my room, they work to fix it. The management is working hard to earn my confidence in Hilton again and I appreciate their dedication. Thank tou.

The Beverly Hills Hilton is a spacious, upscale hotel and I had a pleasant stay there. It is a tad frayed at the edges, for instance the bathroom was a corner tub with seating for two that evoked the '60s, but it was large, spotlessly clean, and had a luxurious bed with linens that couldn't have been better. Also, the building just had a solid, substantial feeling and the soundproofing between rooms was quite good. I took the advice of a fellow TripAdvisor and had the offered turn-down service. It was such a treat to return to my room at night and have it all straightened up with a crisply made bed ready to climb in to.

I didn't have time for the gym or swimming but the pool looked OK. However, the hotel restaurant, Trader Vics, really missed the mark. I'm into retro as much as the next person, but some of the culinary hallmarks of the Trader Vics era would be better left in the past. Everything I had for two dinners was mediocre at best. The Tom Yum Gum soup was spicey hot to the point of being inedible, while at the same time it tasted like Campbells vegatable soup broth, while the chicken curry was tasteless and overwhelmed with too thick coconut broth. If you take a reasonable walk downtown there are so many great restaurants to choose from, my advice is to skip the Vics.

Staff at this Hilton were professional, helpful, and courteous. I think they must be used to serving the rich and famous, which may be what gives them that air of confidence without being snooty.

I would stay at the Beverly Hills Hilton again.

seems like no matter what hilton you eat at its disappointing. Besides that the hotel is beautiful. The rooms are updated, comfortable and pleasing. The service inside the hotel is very attentive, if you are at the valet make sure you have money in hand or service will lack. The balconies are spacious, but smoke will travel from the balcony next door. I left our sliding door open and room started to smell like smoke from neighbor. was upgraded quickly with status.
