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!

Since 2021, Rates at the Beverly Hills Hotel have gone up over 60%, a deluxe room in 2019-2020 was $675 a night, now it's $1,600 per night. Crazy prices, even for Beverly Hills.

Does paying an Employee Health Benefit tax means that the hotel has somehow legally found a way to avoid paying their share of the employee's health insurance plan and they have instead passed that charge on to the public?!

This country is doomed. You pay $1900.00 a night for a room, but they cant afford to pay their employees health insurance. I would not stay there even if I could ever afford it. What a rip off.

[@nancyjeanisnj]

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 :(

I grew up seeing The Beverly Hills Hotel from the outside. A thousand thanks for the opportunity to see it on the inside.

[@sclogse1]

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...

[@joope11]

The one thing I hated about the Beverly Hills Hotel was when the celebrities were staying there, or the stars came for dinner or brunch or for anything, you automatically become a second-class citizen; it's like your money is not essential, you can't go there because their VIPs I will never go to that hotel ever again.

Also the added taxes are on everything even in shops you look at the price but when have to pay there is added tax! That plus figuring out what to tip it gets stressful!

Before you itemised the bill, I was reckoning at about $850. My jaw dropped when you gave the actual cost! It’s fascinating to watch you showing us the opulence of these places, Tim, but I still think you were robbed, especially the Employee Health & Benefit and BH Occupancy charges. If I stay somewhere here in the UK, I’ve never been charged anything like this. What a racket!

As an American, my thought on seeing that room was, “that’s at least a $1200 room right there” so I wasn’t too far off. The breakfast was expensive - even as a New Yorker, seeing eggs and hashbrowns for over $24 makes my eyes water. But Jon Loviitz celebrity sighting? Priceless!

I had often wondered what the rooms/suites were like in the main hotel and I thought that your room 219 was fab. 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 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.

The men were in uniform & everyone in the bar bought us drinks. Wonderful memories! PS - you don't have to be a guest to go to the Polo Lounge or to the restaurant. Very expensive but a real treat!

Thank you for showing us these places. I was way out on the price; I was basing my guess on some very good London hotels, but then I noticed from your cup that it is part of the Dorchester Collection, and realised that I was out by a fair amount!

I know right! thanks for watching

[@mariamcclanahan470]

I would stay there. It is iconic! It is out of my league though. Thanks for sharing!

[@blinkinbaboonbiskit]

yes... the polo lounge. Fun spot!

[@davidwalker8345]

Wow. This is something that most of us will never see or experience. Thank you so much for going, and sharing you trip with us 😊

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Glad you enjoyed it David

[@cindykeely5812]

The irony of 4 and 5 star hotels is the less likely to have coffee in the room! Many times it’s in the lobby in the morning but who wants to go get coffee there in the early hours!

[@aironiversen9214]

Jeus Mary and Joseph!! My jaw was on the floor when u went over the bill!! I'm a native Texan.. have live n the US my whole life, and I have NEVER heard of all those extra charges. Guess that's just California for ya. LOL!

[@shanehorvath9711]

I got to stay here back in 1999, I can't believe this place hasn't changed in 24 years...😂😂😂

[@GuavaChiffonTheCosmetix]

That was a fun tour of the hotel. A few spaces I'd never seen before. I've stayed several times in the bungalows ( apparently the one Jackie O was fond of ). The exceptional staff/service is whats always impressed me most about the BHH

[@77smp]

Did you not add the 20% gratuity?! And Edinburgh worries about implementing a £2 a night tourist tax! 😆

[@WalkWithMeTim]

lol

[@paulangeloff400]

As an LA resident can I suggest you try the Roosevelt in Hollywood next time. It’s historic and iconic. I always take visitors there. I think it would make an excellent video.

[@louiseb3491]

Can u take me there sometime ?

[@paulangeloff400]

@@louiseb3491 oh definitely 😊

[@mindofmax2067]

As someone who grew up vacationing with my parents but will NEVER voluntarily pay this much, thank you for sharing these experiences! I feel like I’m not missing out for sure

[@JayTaylorXI]

Going to the Beverly Hills hotel and complaining about price of breakfast and coffee is like going to a swimming pool and complaining about getting wet. That’s not directed at anyone but it obviously comes with the territory. Also, for all those saying about ‘in the UK this’ and ‘in the UK that’ - it’s different cultures for different countries. I’m sure we do things they would feel is ‘odd’ or ‘extortionate’ but that’s what makes travel worthwhile…. experiencing different things.

[@JayTaylorXI]

@@princebuster93 then stay somewhere else. The price is displayed before you stay there… I’ve stayed at the Shangri La in LA - knew the price before I went and thought, hell - it’s a one off - I’m prepared for the cost. Not as if it’s a shock you stay at a 5-Star Hollywood hotel and pay a lot for everything.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

that's a nice hotel I hear

[@JayTaylorXI]

@@WalkWithMeTim it was a stunner…. Right next to the beach. Beautiful pool set up. I’d recommend.

[@davidwarren9932]

Thats a joke all them extra charges 😮

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Tell be about it

[@Robloxhorseofc]

Its amarica all they care bout is money not being rude or anything

[@universalmeditation8631]

You’re better off at the Rosevelt. Larger room, cleaner, killer breakfast and yeah!

[@letisherlin2100]

Woow unbelievably enjoyable reservations🎉 🌹💗💓🌹

[@Tpavra]

Now that i was not expecting for the price 😱 holy!!! When i visited LA, I stayed in a cheap hotel in San Bernardino, it was $129/night with taxes included. Sure it was not luxury but it was comfortable and think I'd prefer that over $1,800+ 😱😱😱 Great video as always!

[@kathrynstemler6331]

Your comments about everything being so big in (North) America - when I first went to England when I was a kid stayed with a family and the mum asked me how I liked her house (which was very lovely, and now I know, big for the U.K.) I exclaimed how everything was so small! I think she hated me after that. I’m sorry everything is just bigger over here!

[@jenv9782]

I have always been underwhelmed by all these hotels. I am not a wealthy person, but when I travel, I want everything spotlessly clean and amazing service. Don't know why this is not always the case.

[@andrewstorm8240]

Great review - these classic places

[@TeamMcGrath]

Your channel has come so far brother, it's awesome to see the disparity between you staying in a rundown Pontins to living it up in LA. Respect man, you deserve all your success and may you have so much more ❤

[@jonviga]

Very nice video man! keep the good jobs!! and that appearance of Jon Lovitz...MADE MY DAY!!!

[@robertfeinberg748]

Beside the exorbitant tax, hotels have added what's called a Resort Fee that sometimes doesn't seem to bear any relationship to anything. So for a $1000 hotel, the resort fee might be $500. For what?

[@ursulacosta307]

I just love your videos. I feel like I’m right there with you visiting all these beautiful hotels…can’t wait to see the next one. 😊

[@chrisonYTtour]

Nice one Tim! What an iconic hotel, love the retro vibes 👍

[@gamingstuart]

I can't wait see it 🤩 lucky you

[@anthonygallen3957]

enjoyed the video well done tim

[@cindicarnell81]

I love walking into the lobby of a famous hotel! It makes me smile. Thanks for this 😎

[@carolinefoster8675]

Beautiful hotel, but way too expensive for what it is though. It was featured in Mad Men (the episode where Don meets ‘Joy’, and Prince used to hire a bungalow there too. Tim - You should do Chateau Marmont next

[@traceybeerling4776]

Hi Tim ! OMG that's so expensive wow . They really rip you off over there. Beautiful hotel though. No wonder celebrities go there they can afford it . Oh and of course lottery winner's. Great vlog Tim thanks for sharing with us. Love to you as always Tracey 💕 xxxx

[@nannerz1994]

I can't believe they let you film because of all the high profile people who stay there. The oranges were actually probably picked from the property too

[@williamjacobs9065]

Great video! The hotel charges are outrageous; maybe that's why it looked so empty. One place you missed was to have a drink in the famous Polo Lounge there. I hope you at least you came away with one pink Beverly Hills Hotel pen. For that kind of money, you might want to check out the Inn at Spanish Bay in Monterey, CA. You might also be able to afford a round of golf there.

[@barrycoppock]

The tax and various add-ons are something that America seems to love! And, of course, can add astronomically to the bill. Clearly, the types of people who stay there do not expect to have to make their own coffee! To the celebrities who stay there, the cost is probably pocket money to them. 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.)

[@WalkWithMeTim]

at least they had coffee downstairs for freeeee

[@utahdan231]

It’s only in California and NYC.

[@Annies_Ink]

Tim, this was amazing!!! Enjoyed every moment. I just might watch again tomorrow! An inside peak to such an iconic hotel…Fabulous! ❤️

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Glad you enjoyed it! Annie

[@TheTraditionalGolfer]

If you had walked down to the lobby and coming the other way was Taggart , Rosewood and Foley my head would have fallen off Tim 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@casst346]

so good to see your detail when touring this hotel..I can see that in fact it is truly lacking in some maintenance (bathtub, etc) and comfort features (quiet fan, etc), surprised they are not paying very good attention to these important details..

[@KirstyLo]

Really enjoyed this video Tim! Keep up the great work 👏🏼

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Glad you enjoyed it! thanks Kirsty

[@tias343]

I personally wouldn't want to spend that kind of money for one night only. I've stayed in a five star hotel in Rhodes for two weeks for less than that, and that was beautiful. And also when I went to Cyprus for two weeks for even less than that. My dream is to stay at the Plaza for three nights.

[@thornbird6768]

14 days , 5 star villa in Thailand £1600 for 2 , own pool outside , breakfast brought to the villa . It was stunning .

[@TheYummyMummyChannel]

@@thornbird6768wow! Please share the details

[@bills48321]

I totally agree with you about the taxes and other charges added on at the end.
