DREAM ESCAPES
Strung with swaying palms and punctuated by gleaming megamansions, this cinematic slice of Los Angeles is hard to resist
Beverly Hills
STAY
A hop, skip and a jump from Rodeo Drive, The Maybourne Beverly Hills (3) draws a wellheeled crowd. Looking out over the Hollywood Hills, the sunshine-filled suites – layered with sculptural standouts – have an air of cool nostalgia, and the foliage-framed rooftop pool is a sublime spot to loll when the mercury rises. It’s the first foray into the US for the team behind Claridge’s and The Connaught, and for luxury Los Angeles stays, you’ll have a hard time topping this one.
