In the know

Our favourite rooms

For an absolute blowout, we love the huge Penthouse suite, which comes with a smoky-tinged, glass eight-seater table, an infinity pool-style Jacuzzi and 1970s Danish black-leather chairs. We also adore the rooms on the east side of the hotel, which offer great views of the Hollywood sign and the mountains beyond.

Packing tips

Bring some dark and sophisticated underwear to recreate your favourite Helmut Newton poses against the sultry backdrop of the rooms.

Food & drink

Hotel restaurant

Decorated in chocolate, walnut and bamboo tones, and home to vases of strategically placed orchids aplenty, Bond Street is one of Beverly Hills’ most stylish Japanese restaurants. It’s hushed and sophisticated by day, and party-vibrant in the evening. The miso-marinated Chilean seabass and the lobster tempura rolls are reliably delicious.

Dress code

Think smart and black – the scene is far more NY than LA.

Top table

Ask for one of the banquettes at the back of the restaurant – they’re the most conducive to people-watching and snuggling.

Last orders

The last sashimi are sliced at 11pm.

Room service

Guests can order from a snack menu 24 hours a day.

Hotel bar

Buzzing most nights, and particularly between Wednesday and Saturday, both the Lounge and the rooftop ABH serve up saketinis till 2am to a well-heeled hipster crowd. DJs help create a laid-back, loungey atmosphere with a creative selection of jazz, funk and hip-hop tunes.
