i had to be near beverly hills to attend to the death of a dear friend there, and having stayed in this wonderful hotel once before, had no question as to where i'd stay during this difficult time. i was not disappointed. to be able to return from my friend's home to such a lovely and welcoming hotel each day made this time somehow more tolerable. during my 7 night stay, i had not a single complaint or issue. lovely, quiet rooms. room service breakfasts were fast and delicious. valet parking service was light speed when called from the room. every staff member greets you with a smile, like you are welcome in their home. the Park Grill restaurant is terrific, and if you are adventurous and it is offered, just order "chef vincent's special menu", and prepare to be dazzled by his imaginative preparations. this place is worth staying in-house for dining. i am most grateful to all staff with whom i came in contact. they make a huge difference in a property large enough that it could easily go impersonal. i truly look forward to a return stay!
