Mr & Mrs Smith

Thompson Beverly Hills

Los Angeles, United States

A dash of East Coast sophistication in the heart of Los Angeles, the Thompson Beverly Hills is like the backdrop to a Helmut Newton photograph – all dark-toned 1970s-style and black-leather accessories. With a prime location close to Rodeo Drive, as well as a rooftop bar that screams – well, drawls – laid-back cool, it’s fast becoming a scene in its own right.

Food and drink at Thompson Beverly Hills

• Hotel restaurant

  With art deco overtones and ivory, toirtoiseshell and ebony accents, Caulfield's serves up a modern medley of classic Americana, bistro-style. Named after JD Salinger's rebellious idealist Holden, the restaurant has a comfort-food focus on market-fresh produce, artisan wines and home-made desserts. Our favourite dishes include the whole grilled branzino, thick-cut steaks and toad-in-the-hole. 

• 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 steak is grilled at 11pm; but drinks are poured til 2am in the bars.
• 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 cocktails till 2am to a well-heeled hipster crowd of members and hotel guests. DJs create a laid-back, loungey atmosphere with a creative selection of jazz, funk and hip-hop tunes.
