Hollywood & the Beverly Hills Hotel

Beverly hills lobbyAs a child and living in Vancouver; located on the beautiful west coast, we often would spend a summer heading down south to California to pop into San Francisco, Hollywood and Beverly Hills for business, sometimes throwing a little side trip of Las Vegas in there. Since my dad very much likes the Ocean and to experience the “pulse of the Earth” as he often says, we usually took the longer route along the coast in order to enjoy the breeze and scenery which is more important than getting there quickly because quite frankly, it was always about the trip and the experience rather than only about getting there.

We have our preferred hotels that we will stay in on these trips which has become a tradition and a visit to San Francisco is not complete without a night at the Fairmont and the same goes for Beverly Hills, where we always would stay at the Beverly Hills Hotel which, quite frankly, having first opened it’s doors on May 12th, 1912, is not only a part of Tinseltown history that must be experienced in order to truly appreciate the origins of the movie world that we enjoy today but in fact is what instigated the Beverly Hills we know and love today. In fact, the Beverly Hills Hotel was opened even long Beverly hills palmsbefore the town of Beverly Hills even existed.Beverly Hills Gardens

After the hotel was built in 1912 well known people began building homes in the surrounding area making it a prime real estate location by 1914. Few people know the actual history of the area, in fact the famous Hollywood sign high atop the local hills used to read Hollywoodland and was in fact erected by a development company which was selling land in Hollywood. Originally it was studded with some 4000 light bulbs which lit up in sequence beginning with “HOLLY” then “WOOD” and finally “LAND”, each word individually followed by the whole thing. A searchlight was also installed to attract more intention (imagine just how flashy this whole thing must have been). This display was originally intended to only last a year and a half but having gained its landmark status during the golden age of Hollywood was kept (similar to the Eiffel town, which was built and intended only for the duration of the “Exposition Universelle” of 1889).

The thing we always liked about the Beverly Hills Hotel was its bungalow layout, the fact that not all rooms are located in the main building but you are able to have a private little house, kind of like having your own little place located in a lovely property. That way you are not only able to enjoy the privacy but also make the most of the surrounding gardens by taking a stroll to and from the hotel and pool, which you will know from movies filmed on site, such as Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. The theme colours of pink and green and trademark style of indoor palm plants is present throughout the property. A hotel such as this which has been around longer than the place itself enjoys the landmark status and is a favourite meeting place for the local residents, celebrities, a place of status, a place of business.
