Conceptualized by Beverly Hills-based interior design firm Forchielli Glynn, the redesign at the AAA Five Diamond and Forbes Five Star-rated property reflects the hotel’s signature glamour with three updated color palettes and contemporary furnishings that are both luxurious and graciously residential. “We put great care into embracing the charm of The Peninsula Beverly Hills as a welcome haven where guests can feel that they are coming home to their own pied-à-terre rather than a hotel room,” said Managing Director Offer Nissenbaum. “The enhanced rooms stay true to the hotel’s DNA of quintessential Southern California luxury.” Guest rooms are punctuated with floral-patterned drapery and bright accent pillows, while rich new furnishings, such as sofa beds and ottomans, feature refined contemporary lines. Guest rooms, suites and spacious villas feature three new color palettes that complement the hotel’s lush tropical garden setting: - more - THE PENINSULA BEVERLY HILLS UNVEILS DESIGN UPDATE AND BMW LUXURY CAR PARTNERSHIP – 2 A soft peach theme in Standard and Grand Deluxe guest rooms showcases classic Brunschwig & Fils tree-of-life-patterned window dressings and bed canopies, complemented by French- inspired checked bed skirts, coral-colored accents, pale champagne walls and Axminster wool carpets. A second Standard and Grand Deluxe guest room color scheme features a blue and white palette inspired by Manuel Canovas floral window dressings and bed canopies. Checked bed skirts and accented panel moldings complete the French-theme. An aqua, yellow and blue theme welcomes guests staying in the Deluxe Suites, California Suites, Superior Suites and Villas, with the window and canopy bed dressings featuring sumptuous large-scale prints of botanicals and pineapples, the international symbol of hospitality. The Peninsula Beverly Hills’ lavish furnishings are complemented by the most intuitive and functional in-room technology. Each room contains interactive digital bedside tablets that can be preset in 11 languages (English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Russian, Korean, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese). Familiar to The Peninsula Hotel guests from around the world, the bespoke tablet technology controls in-room functions at the touch of a button, including lighting, room temperature, access to restaurant menus, hotel services and more. New BMW Partnership Enhances Signature Guest Services Beginning March 1, 2018, The Peninsula Beverly Hills’ guests enjoy the exceptional performance and luxury of the hotel’s new fleet of BMW vehicles, courtesy of a new partnership with BMW of North America. Guests of The Peninsula Beverly Hills can travel around Los Angeles in style in the latest BMW 7 Series BMW 5 Series and BMW X5 models; while those who book a suite (as part of the revitalized “Suite Ride” package) can enjoy complimentary use of a BMW for the duration of their stay.

Guests of The Peninsula Beverly Hills also enjoy the most innovative amenities designed to make their stays easier and more elegant.

Originally incorporated on 2 March 1866 as The Hongkong Hotel Company, Limited, HSH was one of the first companies to be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and is currently the oldest registered company on the Hong Kong Companies Registry. For a century and a half, the compelling story of HSH has been closely tied to its city of origin, Hong Kong. Whilst evolving to meet the changing times at home and abroad, HSH has never lost respect for its past and its heritage, and it continually strives to emulate the standards of service and style that earned it the accolade of “The Far East’s leading hotel company”. The concept of “Tradition well served” remains fundamental to HSH’s approach. “Tradition is taking account of a wonderful history, but remembering that everybody today looks to the future. It is important not to forget that the future is built on the past, and we have a great legacy,” said The Hon. Sir Michael Kadoorie, Chairman of HSH. “We believe that our rich history gives us a fuller understanding of our shared identity, culture and values, enabling us to manage change responsibly, to safeguard the best of the past and to keep innovating to meet the demands of the next generation.” Today, the HSH legacy encompasses a diverse portfolio of assets worth HK$44.2 billion1 including ten Peninsula Hotels around the world, The Peak Tram, The Peak Tower and The Repulse Bay Complex in Hong Kong.
