So much history with the Beverly Hills Hotel. I'm so glad they kept the integrity of it.

Have driven past so many times and never realized this was built so early in BH history, or that it was the “Hotel California.” Thanks Huell and KCET!!

I have stayed at the Beverly Hills Hotel. It truly is a wonderful experience. Soooo happy it's still here.

I love all the old buildings. I feel like I was alive in the 1920’s.

The hotel was heavily featured in the 1992 movie 'Death Becomes Her'... but sadly most of the scenes went bye bye when a subplot was removed and the director went for a faster pacing.

Huell was so amazing! His insights and discoveries in SoCal are still informing us!

If you are a guest at the Beverly Hills, they treat you like royalty, attending to your every need, no matter how rude, obnoxious or difficult you act. Of course you are paying big bucks to stay there, so the royal treatment is included. I once asked the hotel manager if I might use one of their pianos for songwriting late at night. He immediately arranged the ballroom grand piano for

What memories from my early 20’s, it hasn’t changed a bit! I remember every room and with stories. I live on the East Coast now. Thanks for bringing back such good memories.

HH is Great!

I'd have liked to see some of the guest rooms. The place looks as if there are a lot of them.

Facinating 👍

If you ask the front desk for change for a $20 bill, they will give you ALL NEW BILLS ! They don't exchange anything but brand new bills, which are bone dry, they smell like ink (not the usual perfume or leather we are used to with used bills) and the bills stick together !! You have to wrinkle up each bill then flatten them out in order to handle the brand new money.

It truly is a shame the iconic buildings and places they have torn down not just in LA but all over Southern California. They (Kirk Krikorian) literally tore down the MGM Studios to put in a parking lot.
