Second time dining here and I had to share how wonderful and the kind the people here are, exceptional service! We just walked in, no reservation needed at around 4pm. David was our server today and he was so kind and attentive. The hostess as well as everyone else was very friendly! The food was great as well. Highly recommend the BLVD Burger ($38), comes with delicious fries as well. The cucumber cleansing juice ($13) was very lovely as well but a bit overpriced for the size. We sat inside with a window view, and it's beautiful to watch outwards Rodeo. Overall, highly recommend and will most definitely be back.

Mouth-watering food and stellar service in the heart of Beverly Hills at Beverly Wilshire Hotel! Loved every single item on the menu! The baked cauliflower was out of this world and the truffle fries is a must. Classy and upscale spot. Highly recommend stopping for a quick bite while you shop or a full meal.

I love having a cup of tea and pastry here. The sunflower is beautiful and tasty. I'm not a fan of the food or brunch here unfortunately! It's ok I guess. The service is good too. The bar is cool and drinks are fine...

Had a fantastic work lunch here. The restaurant, like the hotel it's in is just sheer elegance. Yes it's pricey, but it's Beverly Hills and the food justifies it. Got the friend chicken sandwich without the top bun and the tuna tar tar and it was very beautiful and delicious. Will definitely be back for other dishes I saw coming out. Finished off with probably one of the best espressos I've ever had.

Overall, dining at this restaurant was a delight from start to finish. The delicious food, impeccable service, and charming ambiance made for a memorable experience. I recommend the latte, the Feeling Pretty drink, and the champagne

The service was good. The food wasn't the best (also overpriced). I prefer their breakfast. Not many options for dinner.

Fancy luxury ambiance inside Beverly Wilshire Hotel. A 3 liters Louis XIII on display by dinning room window facing Rodeo Dr. Cocktail menu not cheap! Services were okay. Surprised to see the sandwich ice cream served in a Clamshell Take Out Box ......

Location. Location. Location. Glitz and glam. Proximity to Rodeo Drive. People watching. Vibrant bar scene. Outdoor patio. Touristy. Treat Yo Self. You are dining at The Blvd, baby!! The Blvd is one of the restaurants at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. The most coveted seats are the patio seats outside with views of Wilshire and Rodeo. However, during the chilly California winter I prefer to sit inside and preferably next to a floor to ceiling window. The best of both worlds! Had a lovely brunch here. I got the Smoked Norwegian Salmon Benedict. It was absolutely delightful. It had poached hen eggs, hollandaise sauce, chicory salad, and everything spice. They were generous with the lox and the hollandaise sauce was so savory! A wonderful dish. Would recommend. The restaurant is overpriced for sure, even for the neighborhood, but you are paying for the scene. You are literally across the street from Two Rodeo which is a MUST for cute photos and walking distance to all the shops on Rodeo Drive. The restaurant is good for a special occasion. Dress is California casual. This was my first time coming here and I was glad to check it off my bucket list. Sometimes they have live music here which I think is special. I love listening to musicians in person. The website says that the live music is Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights from 5-8pm. Metered parking on street but you may have to walk a bit if you don't find a space close by. There is also valet on El Camino. It's $10 with restaurant validation.

Was a pleasant surprise. It's about 5:30pm after shopping on 30th Dec. We just simply walk in, and we were seated with in 20 mins. Yay! Nice environment, decent but not too formal. Food was good + beautiful live music. Definitely will visit again!

This is the worse establishment I ever encountered. My wife made a reservation months in advance for new year"s eve at 4pm. When we showed up. The lady said all the reservations had been cancelled. No care in the world that some people had to drive all the way from chino hills and then drove around for parking and finally paid for valet. You guys just don't care. It's all about choosing your customers to maximize your gain. Don't give a fuck about how disappointed my wife was. Why made the reservation then ? If you do, you should honor it.

My wife and I recently stayed at the Beverly Wilshire for two nights during a long weekend trip to the LA area, and we really enjoyed our stay. This hotel is an iconic spot in Beverly Hills, with a long and storied history and a perfect location for seeing the area. We received a great upgrade to a suite, which made our stay even more special and comfortable, and our interactions with staff were great. There was a small billing hiccup after our stay that left a slightly negative taste, but it got resolved, so I would absolutely return to and recommend this hotel. Trip Planning: As we always do when booking a Four Seasons, we reserved through a Preferred Partner travel agent, which enabled us to get free perks (I highly recommend doing this). For no extra cost, our reservation included priority early check-in, a room upgrade based on availability, a one-time $100 hotel credit, and a breakfast credit each morning of $90, which could be used in the restaurant or for room service. The travel agent we worked with was even able to confirm a double room upgrade in advance of our arrival, which was a pleasant surprise, especially since upgrades are often not confirmed until check-in. I also appreciated that her contact at the hotel really seemed to want to make sure we got the best room possible for our needs. We had booked a Signature Balcony Room, so a double upgrade was to a Rodeo View Studio Suite. The hotel explained that the upgrade would take away our balcony, but we could keep the balcony and have more of a panoramic view of the Hollywood Hills (which they thought we might prefer), if we did a single upgrade to a BW Studio Suite instead. We agreed to that, and they assured us they would block us into one of their best rooms in that category. We ultimately got upgraded even further, but the room we had was spot-on for what was promised location and view-wise. Arrival: It can be slightly confusing to find the entrance when arriving for the first time. A lot of GPS apps will lead you to the recognizable hotel entrance on Wilshire Boulevard, which isn’t actually the main entrance for hotel guests when parking a car. There is a valet at the Wilshire entrance, and it’s a good spot to be dropped off in an Uber, but the main entrance for hotel parking is in a larger porte cochere between the two towers of the hotel, accessed off of a side street (El Camino Drive). Upon arrival at the correct spot, I was immediately greeted by Florian on the valet team, who was there during much of our stay and provided good service throughout. He welcomed me to the hotel and assisted with my luggage, assuring me that the luggage would be brought up to our room immediately if the room was ready, or as soon as possible later in the day when a room became available. I went to the front desk to check-in, and was assisted by a very friendly and professional front desk clerk. She provided a warm welcome and gave me the good news that our room was ready (before noon), and that it had been upgraded further to a one-bedroom suite, all of which was great to hear. She also provided an overview of the extra credits that were included in our room rate and how to use them. It was a great check-in experience, with the only thing missing being that there wasn’t any sort of welcome beverage offered, which is typically at least water, if not champagne, at Four Seasons hotels. After check-in, the hotel also did a great job of coordinating things to get me settled into my room. I found my way to my room and a very friendly bellman was at my room within 2 minutes after to deliver my luggage and assist with getting settled. I also appreciated that within 10 minutes after that, I received a phone call from the hotel’s Guest Experience Manager, welcoming me to the hotel and apologizing for not having been present at check-in to welcome me. It was nice to have the extra welcome and to know that there was someone I could reach out to if we had any problems. Room: In order to pick a room type at this hotel, it’s helpful to understand how it’s laid out, which isn’t intuiti

[email protected] ​ ​ You; ​ Koehler Lorelyn ​ I strongly suggest you get your act together. First, we did not stay overnight. We checked out at 9:30 PM on November 11, 2023. Of course, your inefficient system did not time stamp our departure time. We checked in around 4:20 PM on November 11, 2023 and we car pooled with friends to the event. After the event our friends took us to LAX where we caught an overnight flight to Chicago. My 103, year old mother-in-law who normally is in excellent health and lives in Elmhurst Illinois fell on Wednesday November 8, 2023 damaging a disc in her lower back. I called Suzette at the Four Seasons on Wednesday November 8, 2023 and requested a refund for the evening of November 11, 2023. She said she would check company policy and I replied I will check with the surgeon tomorrow morning for an exact date and time of surgery. On Thursday November 9, 2023 I talked to the doctor who informed me surgery on her back is scheduled for 11:AM on Sunday then I informed Suzette we would not be staying overnight. During the same conversation Suzette informed me company policy is no refund. She asked if I would like to cancel the reservation. My reply was “cancel the reservation so you can resell the room and make a 100% profit. And Four Seasons is reputed to be a top-rated hotel? Really?? In summary Four seasons empathy factor is zero. Suggest I cancel the reservation so Four Seasons can resell the room. You have to be kidding! Bill me for parking when I did not drive a car to the hotel. I have no intension of paying the parking charge. This charge never came up during either conversation with Suzette. When Dennis Prager asks for feedback on the event, I will suggest he move this event elsewhere. The food this year was substandard compared to last year. One example, the salad was a joke.

I've always loved dining here . They are exceptional sometimes I carry outside beverages due to my disability diabetes they never give me crap about it Very understanding staff delicious food one of my favorite restaurants when I'm in Beverly Hills they don't rush there very attentive and understanding I also meet lots of really kind cool people how amazing. I even had a lady give up her seat for my party because it was more convenient for us even though she was not obliged and we did not expect her to!! Such amazing civilized kind vibes. I genuinely love this place and love the food 35 percent tip !!!! Deserved

The BLVD Bar is chic, cool and sophisticated. A real gem in Beverly Hills. The service was amazing and the front of house team superb as gave us a front row outside table, which drew envious glances. The menu caters for all dietary requirements and the vegan selections plenty. The wine list is extensive as are the by the glass choices. The prices were remarkably consummate with the location and we enjoyed a deliciously chilled Whispering Angel Rosé for $96. This place attracts celebrities and A-list clientele and a brilliant place to have selfie’s. Loved every moment and thank you.
