Description
Title supplied by cataloger.
Two years before Beverly Hills became an incorporated city, the Beverly Hills Hotel opened on May 12, 1912; the hotel initially included the main building and twenty-three separate bungalows in the Mediterranean Revival style, designed by Elmer Grey. In the 1940s, a new wing was added to the east side of the main building. Eighty years after it opened, the hotel closed for two and a half years for a complete restoration. The hotel was named the first historic landmark in Beverly Hills on September 12, 2012.
Aerial view of the Beverly Hills Hotel and bungalows, 9641 W. Sunset Blvd., showing landscaped streets and homes in the sparsely-built area.
