A part of Hollywood history, The Beverly Hills Hotel has been a haven for stars and movie icons, and the location for many classic films. Today, the “Pink Palace” completed a restoration of its private cabanas, with the redesign led by Champalimaud Design.

“What distinguishes The Beverly Hills Hotel from all others is its magical history. Through time it has been the destination of movie stars and socialites, kings and queens. Vivacious and brimming with life, there is a particularly strong culture around the swimming pool and cabanas. The cabanas hold prime seats to a mesmerizing show of beautiful people wading in clusters, chatting in groups as laughter permeates the air. You sit with your family, surrounded by beauty and laughter, and you watch as the amazing show goes on,” said Alexandra Champalimaud, founder and president, Champalimaud Design.

The refreshed cabanas convey a welcoming, residential feel while honoring the hotel and its pool’s iconic design, imbuing each of the 11 poolside retreats with a nostalgic sense of Hollywood glamour. Guests find basket weave on the chairs, terrazzo on the coffee table and bright pink candy throughout the space. Peach-pink tables were sourced locally from Los Angeles designer Bend, and the cabanas are adorned in pink-and-white interior striped awnings.

Perhaps the most notable feature of the cabanas is the pink Martinique banana leaf wallpaper from CW Stockwell. The pink is reintroduced from the company’s archives to complement the original green of the hotel’s interiors, and this marks the first time the iconic wallpaper has been installed since its original 1940s installation. The wallpaper can also be found in The Fountain Coffee Room and in all of the hallways. The distinctive colors, large and bright leaves and banana palms are intrinsically connected to the hotel’s history.

The Beverly Hills Hotel pool and cabanas are open to hotel guests 7 a.m.–10 p.m. daily.
