9641 Sunset Boulevard Beverly Hills, California
Built in 1912 in the middle of fields, The Beverly Hills Hotel was there even before there was Beverly Hills. Soon after came the movies and their stars, right from Charlie Chaplin to Marilyn Monroe. This is still the place where the stars get married, have their birthdays and sign their contracts. So it might come as a surprise that this Hollywood hot spot is also a family-friendly one. An iconic pool, kids’ amenities, baby sitting services and even VIP credit cards for kids – this ‘pink palace’ is a royal treat for the entire family! After all, there must be a reason why Elizabeth Taylor honeymooned here six times!

Mandy’s Tip: Make sure you don’t skip eating at the Polo Lounge! Definitely the best spot for breakfast in town. Plus, there is live music every day for lunch, dinner and Sunday Brunch. Needless to say, a great spot for celebrity spotting too!
