Viceroy L'Ermitage Beverly Hills: Luxurious Paparazzi-Free Sanctuary
Viceroy L'Ermitage
Beverly Hills, California
Classy, $$$ (from $579)
Steps away from the glitzy paparazzi-strewn streets of downtown Beverly Hills, the Hollywood A-listers like to hide out at the five-star Viceroy L'Ermitage, a peaceful sanctuary on a tree-lined residential street with ample privacy and lots of high-profile amenities. The hotel and its 116 suites are notable for their intimate vibe and the friendly, attentive staff who make sure that guests are pampered throughout their stay. The spacious rooms are luxurious, with baby-soft Italian bedding, in-room fireplaces, walk-in closets, and private balconies. The exclusive rooftop pool floats above the city with views of downtown Beverly Hills and Hollywood, and is home to rooftop yoga classes and a cocktail bar. Yes, that woman over there is the actress you just read about on TMZ. But don't stare: She's here for a discreet meeting with her manager. Instead, give into your own inner bold-name status and consider this a home away from home. And don't be surprised if you want to overstay your welcome.

What to Do Nearby
No one really walks — anywhere — in Los Angeles, so don't be shy about taking advantage of the hotel's chauffeured Maserati and shop 'till you drop at the Golden Triangle (Rodeo Drive, Barneys, and Neiman Marcus).
Beverly Hills is home to classic, old-school restaurants like the Polo Lounge and the downstairs soda fountain at the Beverly Hills Hotel, the original Matsuhisa, Nate n' Al delicatessen, and Spago. For an Insta-worthy moment, order a cupcake via the ATM at the Sprinkles on Sunset Blvd.
