Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills

Beverly Hills, Los Angeles

Virgin rating

The hotel

Living the high life in more ways than one, Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills is every bit the VIP pad – especially when you’re up on the exclusive rooftop pool deck, soaking in the 360 degree views as you slink from your private cabana into the glimmering pool for a dip. With its balcony and floor-to-ceiling windows, your guestroom delivers its own jaw-dropping views of the Boulevard, hills, or LA skyline. And the views inside are just as dazzling, whether you’re eying up the sparkling cocktails at its French-inspired Lobby Lounge; the glamour of La Prairie Spa; the fine dining masterpieces of its French-American restaurant (under the helm of celebrated chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten); or the beautiful coastal Californian interiors by creative genius Pierre-Yves Rochon – who’s used muted greens and golds and delicate woods and whites to create an art deco garden vibe.

Here’s a version that keeps it direct and blunt: This hotel has gone completely downhill. I’ve stayed here nearly 100 times over the years, and the new management is a disgrace to what was once a reliable, luxury experience. Here’s a rundown of how bad it’s gotten: 1.

Here’s a version that keeps it direct and blunt: This hotel has gone completely downhill. I’ve stayed here nearly 100 times over the years, and the new management is a disgrace to what was once a reliable, luxury experience. Here’s a rundown of how bad it’s gotten: 1. They forgot to clean our room, and I had to call three times just to get it serviced. I had to leave the room most of the day waiting for them. 2. When my wife arrived, they left all of our luggage unattended outside for three hours. Then they couldn’t find her belongings and didn’t answer any calls, so she had to find the luggage herself and haul it to the room on her own. This is supposed to be a high-end hotel, not a no-service zone. 3. Our key card stopped working along with the elevators. I had to go up and down multiple times just to get access to my room. I messaged the concierge for help, and they ignored it. 4. Phones didn’t work, so any simple request required physically walking to the concierge who wasn’t at the desk. 5. Even the concierge required several calls and messages to respond at all. 6. This barely scratches the surface. At no point we we not severely dissatisfied with our stay here. 7. The venues were all dead. The rooftop was ghosts and the downstairs restaurant was empty and creepy. For thousands of dollars a night, we ended up more stressed than when we arrived. I would not recommend staying here to anyone looking for a true five-star experience. You’re better off at the Peninsula, Beverly Hills Hotel, Hotel Bel Air, or the Maybourne—places that actually care about their guests and train their employees properly. Waldorf Astoria is a glorified motel now. A complete joke. Waldorf Astoria has become a joke. Where’s the accountability? Read less
