The Peninsula Beverly Hills’ Has a Brand New (Floral) Look

Where: 9882 Santa Monica Blvd. [map], Beverly Hills, CA, United States, 90212

In a town like LA, it’s always about looking younger, so to celebrate its 20th anniversary, the Peninsula Beverly Hills has been undergoing an extensive redecoration job. When we popped by a few weeks ago, most of the 193 rooms and 36 suites had been redone, while some of the grand specialty suites and 16 garden villas were still awaiting their appointment with the designers.

Maison 140 Finally Completes Its Sexy New Look

Where: 140 S Lasky Drive [map], Beverly Hills, CA, United States, 90212

It took a while but The Maison 140 Hotel in Beverly Hills has finally finished up the room renovations that it began back in 2009.

The facelift was overseen by Viceroy Hotels in-house designer, Kelly Wearstler who redesigned all 44 rooms in a Parisian style. Gone is the old yellow and grey decor and now in its place is a vibrant orange and red color scheme, er as Wearstler describes it "persimmon" palette with new beds, headboards, curtains, chairs and desks.

To celebrate the hotel rooms' new look, the hotel is offering a Renew Package which gives guests welcome champagne, a continental breakfast, complimentary parking and internet for just $185 a night. (The deal is good through June 30th.)

This is a great deal if you want an affordable boutique hotel close to the center of Beverly Hills but just keep in mind, the hotel doesn't have much of a lobby or any other public spaces for that matter. However, you can pop over to the hotel's sister properties--the Avalon and the L'Ermitage to use the pool or have dinner.

Projecting? Posh Spice's Baby Shower is Happening at the 'Pretty Woman' Hotel

Where: 9500 Wilshire Blvd. [map], Beverly Hills, CA, United States, 90212

The Beverly Wilshire better hurry and get rid of the royal decor and pile on the pink. Sure, a Brit is coming to the hotel, but for a baby shower, not to celebrate the royal wedding. Victoria Beckham will be hitting up the Beverly Hills hotel on Friday for her baby shower.

According to the Mirror, Posh's bestie Eva Longoria will be throwing a "pink princess"-themed shindig to welcome baby No. 4, a girl, to the lucky-gened Beckham brood. It's interesting that she chose this hotel as it was made famous by Julia Roberts and Richard Gere in the film "Pretty Woman."' Of course, we hoe the child is pretty and not , you know, a hooker.

The Beverly Wilshire Gets All British for the Royal Wedding

Where: 9500 Wilshire Blvd. [map], Beverly Hills, CA, United States, 90212

You might do a double-take today when you see a royal guard in a furry black hat standing stoically outside of the Beverly Wilshire. It looks like the guy got lost on his way to Buckingham Palace.

Of course, it's just the latest case of royal wedding fever among hotels. If you weren't among the sleepy Kate and Wills fans to wake up in the middle of the night to watch the wedding, you can still get into the festivities at the hotel.

Cheap Alcohol Alert: The Beverly Wilshire Shakes Up 50-Cent Martinis

Where: 9500 Wilshire Blvd. [map], Beverly Hills, CA, United States, 90212

Nothing beats a free drink, but 50-cent cocktails are almost just as good. So get your quarters ready because the Beverly Wilshire's BLVD is shaking up 50-cent martinis.

Of course, there's a catch. The cheapo cocktails will only be available for 19 minutes and 61 seconds each night, starting at midnight. So drink up fast.

The Beverly Wilshire's Raclette Nights Will Make You Melt

Where: 9500 Wilshire Blvd. [map], Beverly Hills, CA, United States, 90212

The Four Seasons Beverly Wilshire is getting really cheesy. That's because the hotel just started dairy-filled raclette night every Thursday in its BLVD restaurant.

Raclette is a traditional European dish, but for some reason it hasn't yet caught on in the U.S. Basically, Swiss raclette cheese is melted either over a fire or on an electric grill and then the gooey goodness is poured over meat, veggies or potatoes.

Well, That's a Nice Hotel Situation for The Situation

Where: 9500 Wilshire Boulevard [map], Beverly Hills, CA, United States, 90212

We're not going to lie, we're getting kind of jealous of the Jersey Shore crew. That's because they've gone from bunk beds and tanning salons in Sleazeside Heights, New Jersey to the finest hotels in the country.

While the Jersey Shore chicks attempted a ladylike lifestyle at The Surrey, The Situation was seen flashing his iPad, not his abs, at the Four Seasons Beverly Wilshire in Beverly Hills yesterday.

Rooms at the "Pretty Woman" hotel start at $445 a night. That's like 8 Ed Hardy t-shirts! But while the hotel's Lea Journo hair salon has plenty of services for men, including a pedicure and deep conditioning treatments, tanning is sadly not an option for the Sitch here.

Spend Your B-Day at Thompson Beverly Hills (Just Ask Your Friends to Chip In)

If you want to go all 50 Cent flashback and party like it's your birthday, skip the club and head to the Thompson Beverly Hills for a rooftop bash.

To celebrate your birthday, the Thompson will allow you and 12 of your friends access to its ABH Rooftop and Lounge. You and your groupies also will get to hang in a daytime poolside cabana and nibble on platters of foods and signature cocktails in between swimming in the pool and warming up on the chaise lounges.

The Beverly Hilton Wants To Prettify Your Parking Experience

Where: 9876 Wilshire Blvd [map], Los Angeles, CA, United States, 90212

We’re all for prettifying the necessary uglies of hotelworld here at HotelChatter, and car parks have to come fairly high up in the ugly stakes (unless you count those nice corn cobs in Chicago, which you shouldn’t, because they’re not part of a hotel).

Anyway, we’re delighted to see that the Beverly Hilton has done its best to jazz up its car park. The entrance from the top deck is pretty jaunty, and from then on, every elevator bank has a pretty picture to liven up your wait. Taking it from the top:

Stay at Maison 140 over Memorial Day and Get the Third Night for $25

Where: 140 Lasky Drive [map], Beverly Hills, CA, United States, 90212

If you're scrambling to find something to do Memorial Day weekend, the Maison 140 Beverly Hills is hoping you'll ditch your plans to grill hot dogs and burgers in your backyard and take advantage of a hotel special that'll cost you less than your barbecued meats.

Maison 140 is offering rooms for the holiday weekend for only $25. Of course, there's a catch. The Memorial Day deal requires that you stay at the hotel for two days for $175 per night. You can elect to extend your stay a third night, Sunday, for $25. So you'd have to spend $350 in order to be eligible for the 25-buck evening.

Inside The Beverly Hilton (At Cut Price)

Where: 9876 Wilshire Blvd [map], Los Angeles, CA, United States, 90212

As we said yesterday, we spent our Oscars Eve shacked up at the Beverly Hilton, which we’d booked through Hotwire for the measly sum of $129, after it would have cost us $375 to book with the hotel direct. For that, we assumed we’d be assigned a box room, so we headed to the hotel prepared for the worst.

And then, to make things worse, as we were preparing to turn right off Wilshire Blvd into the side street leading to the hotel, the light turned red, we skidded to a halt and, because it was raining, ended up on top of the stop line with a traffic camera snapping away. Not a good start.
