TO WELCOME 2018, The Peninsula Beverly Hills unveiled a complete update of all 195 guestrooms, suites and garden villas. The fresh look and feel preserves the iconic property’s signature French country style while introducing a contemporary twist.

Inspired by the work and style of the hotel’s original designer, Beverly Hills-based firm Forchielli Glynn, LLC created a renovation program reflecting the hotel’s commitment to offering the best in services and amenities with state-of-the-art technologies set alongside comfortable, stylish aesthetics.

“We continually update and evolve our product to ensure that we are offering our guests experiences of the finest quality,” said Offer Nissenbaum, Managing Director, The Peninsula Beverly Hills. “But we also wanted to stay true to the DNA of the hotel and preserved the design elements that have become so beloved over the past 26 years.”

Built in a classic Renaissance style, The Peninsula Beverly Hills was designed to resemble a gracious private residence. From personalized pillowcases and the tranquil Roof Garden and Spa to the comforts of The Living Room, complete with fireplaces and the uplifting sounds of the hotel’s resident pianist, guests feel right at home during their stay.

Among the finest in the industry, accommodations at The Peninsula Beverly Hills embody laidback sophistication, reflective of the hotel’s quintessential Southern California charm. Each guestroom is equipped with custom-made furnishings, chic marble bathrooms, ergonomic work areas and electronic room controls.

“The Peninsula Beverly Hills always welcomes me warmly and treats me like family throughout my stay. This warmth extends to the new suites at The Peninsula, which are tastefully decorated but also very comfortable. I always enjoy the spacious desk as I work for extended periods in the suite, and I find I can truly make myself at home while enjoying the comforts and style The Peninsula offers,” said Francis Gallagher, Publisher and CEO, Global Traveler.

Deluxe rooms have seen a striking transformation and now feature soft French blue walls reminiscent of California’s bright blue skies. Light fills the room through the property’s signature Juliet balconies that open up onto palm tree-lined streets. Luscious floral-patterned canopies, made with textiles by French fabric house Manuel Canovas, frame plush beds set atop vibrant royal blue gingham bed skirts. Other rooms feature a soft peach scheme with classic Brunschwig & Fils tree-of-life pattern fabric and pale Champagne walls, contrasted with coral accents.

Light and airy stand-alone villa suites, set amid the hotel’s lush tropical gardens, boast hardwood floors and spacious balconies. A golden glow warms the new rooms, redesigned with soft yellow tones that complement each room’s flickering fireplace. The bed’s French-inspired canopy interweaves beautiful white magnolias with playful pineapples — the international symbol of hospitality.

Newly transformed, The Peninsula Suite whisks guests away with Asian textiles, eye-catching objets d’art like Chinese blue-and-white porcelain, hand-knotted Savonnerie rugs and hand-painted Chinoiserie-style murals, while The California Suite captures the best of the hotel’s hometown with eclectic art, plush furnishings, gilded chandeliers, rose accents and understated floral prints. Each of the five updated Signature Color Suites continue to boast a distinctive character with unique color palettes, fireplaces, book collections and artwork for a homey atmosphere.
