T he Venue:

The Peninsula Beverly Hills is almost impossibly opulent, even by Hollywood standards, a cinematically pristine Renaissance mansion of the sort that takes offense at sparing expense. A favorite of industry bigwigs, the hotel means it when it boasts of executive-level service — from the fleet of Rolls Royces and BMW's to the lavish “programmes” with celebrity stylists and gurus, this is LA at its shiniest.

Starting at the top sounds sensible. This isn’t just any rooftop, but rather a complex cocktail of spa, garden, pool, and California-cuisine eatery (with, yes, cocktails). An entire line of bespoke products and treatments await in the wellness center, not to mention a premium array of fitness equipment, but we wouldn’t fault you for heading straight for the heated, 60-foot pool. Who says staying beautiful always has to be hard work? Besides, the eavesdropping’s better from one of the dozen poolside cabanas.

The Belvedere, one of LA’s classic power-lunch destinations, now sports brilliant new duds by EDG, showcasing a formidable contemporary art collection in every direction. Ralf Schlegel's team labors to produce works of culinary art themselves, favoring wild-caught seafood and produce from the hotel’s own rooftop garden in the process. There are plenty of vintages, mixological wonders, and microbrews to go around, fear not, though perhaps they’re best enjoyed within the Club Bar’s dim, leathery confines.

With over 20 years of hospitality and Michelin-starred restaurant experience, Executive Chef Ralf Schlegel oversees all culinary aspects of The Peninsula Beverly Hills’ dining outlets, including its signature restaurant, The Belvedere and rooftop restaurant, The Roof Garden. A third-generation chef trained in French, German, and Italian cuisine, Schlegel combine his European cooking style with locally sourced ingredients, including herbs and vegetables from the hotel’s onsite garden to create a fresh take on classic and seasonal dishes.
