I Stay In The Beverly Hills Hotel! 

I Stay in the world ONLY 7 Star Hotel! 👉ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iA_69g87Ilw.html

Tim I don't know if you'll see this but please don't be apologetic for your channel being successful and you earning more from it due to that. It enables you to make this content. And I would add that if you get offered sponsorship deals, you should take them, assuming morally you agree. There's only so many opportunities in life, and with how hard you work to bring people this content you really deserve it.

I lived in L.A. for a short period of time and on my last night in town, we went out to the strip for a few drinks. I was a little drunk and sad that I was leaving-and lamenting the fact that I had never seen the inside of the BHH. So on the way home, I asked my Cali friend if he could stop there-I was going in. I marched into the lobby, after midnight I might add-and explained my dilemma. And the staff couldn’t have been any nicer…they showed me around the lobby area, gave me some matchbooks, postcards, pens and stationary. It was very sweet of them and a cool memory. And some day I shall stay there!

As a former employee of the BHH this was a nice walk down memory lane. I loved seeing all the familiar places, and they have not changed much, it's a classic. One of the things we were known for was our customer service, but i didn't see you interacting with much of the staff, and i don't know if that's post covid or things have just changed there. For example any time we had a new guest checking in we would walk them to the room to and tell them about the hotel then point out how to operate features in the room. It was a nice one on one experience that most hotels didn't offer. We would have let you know about the coffee situation and if you wanted, have housekeeping send up a coffee maker. I know it seems weird, but that was the level of one on one customer service we were going for, a real guest interaction instead of just a nameless faceless anywhere hotel that was not memorable. We had so many guests that said they felt like we were family, we knew them by name, and they knew their favorite staff by name. Ahhh, the good old days. Like i said, maybe post covid has changed that type of interaction :(

Does paying an Employee Health Benefit tax means that the hotel has somehow legally found a way to avoid paying their share of the employee's health insurance plan and they have instead passed that charge on to the public?!

I stayed in Bangalow 1c for my 40th birthday for 3 nights. It's a lovely hotel. And yes, I stole the corkscrew.

That banana leaf tapestry is giving Golden Girls vibes! Does anyone remember Blanche's bedroom? The lack of coffee and tea making facilities is ridiculous and would be a dealbreaker for me. As always, I adore your videos. Thank you!

Thank you for showing us inside this iconic hotel, it's the closest I'll ever come to staying there!! 🤣 Fascinating to see what the hotel is actually like inside after seeing it from the outside countless times on TV & the big screen! As always Tim, fantastic and so entertaining!

Before you itemised the bill, I was reckoning at about $850. My jaw dropped when you gave the actual cost! It’s fascinating to watch you showing us the opulence of these places, Tim, but I still think you were robbed, especially the Employee Health & Benefit and BH Occupancy charges. If I stay somewhere here in the UK, I’ve never been charged anything like this. What a racket!

Since 2021, Rates at the Beverly Hills Hotel have gone up over 60%, a deluxe room in 2019-2020 was $675 a night, now it's $1,600 per night. Crazy prices, even for Beverly Hills.

As an American, my thought on seeing that room was, “that’s at least a $1200 room right there” so I wasn’t too far off. The breakfast was expensive - even as a New Yorker, seeing eggs and hashbrowns for over $24 makes my eyes water. But Jon Loviitz celebrity sighting? Priceless!

6:04 I love Jon Lovitz. I can’t believe you referenced FRIENDS amongst his other work 😂

I really, REALLY enjoy this series. Chap is nice and down-to-earth. Kind - even when there is nothing good to say about a place, he is honest, but always tries to find a positive in the negative. (See Circus, Circus; Las Vegas). This is better than watching the news!😃

Now THAT is a Hotel! 🌴🌸🌴🌸🌴

I have to confess that if money were no object, I would stay there in a heartbeat! In this setting, I wierdly love the Blanche Devereaux 'Golden Girls' wallpaper and all that peachy-pink decor - there are very few places in the world where that decor would look chic as opposed to achingly naff! Thank you for showing us these places. I was way out on the price; I was basing my guess on some very good London hotels, but then I noticed from your cup that it is part of the Dorchester Collection, and realised that I was out by a fair amount! But those taxes are a killer on top of everything else; I am all for paying taxes, but I would much rather they include it all in the rate!

I’m so grateful you stayed here so I get to see it but don’t have to foot the bill! 😂 Thank You Tim, excellent vlog!

In that first bal room the light looked like a giant wasps nest!

I had the dough to stay in one of the bungalows there around 2002. The old inheritance thing. So I looked on line at all the pics of them. Oh my... I like the vibe at the hotel. You CAN just go to the pool and get drinks without staying there. (I didn't stay there) But the separate bungalows are supremely swankarooney. One or two have their own pools, a grand piano in one, and the 40's lux furnishings are really grand. Plus the old vegetation around the place makes it that much more cozy. So, DO look up the five or six bungalows there and see the pics. People stay in these for weeks...to write or escape. Very rich people...

I stayed at a resort in Missouri and there was multiple gift baskets and a fridge filled with drinks and their where notes stating "no extra cost, so enjoy at your leisure". You could even request a bus to help get to specific part of the resort and related attractions, no extra cost. Plus the website also shows the after tax prices straight up and no hidden fees. (The taxes where 8%, so not any different than sales tax here). I grew up in California, so I was use to resorts trying to nickle and dime you, so even though the place was not cheap, it actual felt like you got what you paid for.

You gotta stay at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills. I would love to stay there myself, but yea! lol

Seeing Jon Lovtiz come out of nowhere put a huge smile on my face. I've been a huge fan of his for years. Definitely gave this video a thumbs up!

Tim you amaze me . How do you find the confidence to stay in such over the top hotels lol. It’s lovely for us to see though ,so please carry on 🤗

That’s Jon Lovitz. He’s considered a legend in the comic industry. Starred in SNL, News Radio and more famously now, he owned a few comedy clubs too. Was never a major star, but pretty popular nonetheless with his peers.

Tim, I think the people who normally stay there are more likely to charter a private jet to the closest Starbucks than make their own coffee... "Making my own coffee, what a ghastly idea."

The hotel is gorgeous but no tea or coffee in the room would be a massive disappointment for me! I love the convenience of making my own cuppa as soon as I get to the room on holidays. You even get this in 3 star hotels in Ireland.

A tv in a mirror but no coffee machine? They need to sort their priorities aha Edit - that cost! Crikey 🤯

In case you are wondering the tax is specifically for Beverly hills. It varies based on location, as a way to tax the rich.

I'm shocked by that room price. Your hotel room in Dubai's 7star was a palace compared to this, and for a similar price! Wow. Great content, thank you.👌🏼 ❤

I really enjoyed watching that, thanks Tim. My husband, son and I stayed in the Marilyn Monroe cottage of the BHH for two nights as a retirement treat in 2014. I had often wondered what the rooms/suites were like in the main hotel and I thought that your room 219 was fab. We loved the old Hollywood ‘Rat Pack’ atmosphere that the place still has with all the stars of yesteryear staying there and partying. We thoroughly enjoyed our time spent poolside. I didn’t swim, but my husband and son did and told me that whilst swimming under the water there was piped Frank Sinatra music that could be heard whilst under the water, how amazing was that? It is a very expensive place to stay, but what an iconic place. We loved every minute of it and I would certainly stay there again if I had the opportunity xx

I used to do a lot of traveling for my job. In the old days they would charge you every time you used the phone to make a local call, and God forbid if you had to make a long distance call. Also, every time your electronic room key was used to access the gym at some hotels. One other thing, I had no idea the Beverly Hills Hotel was that big. It looks so small from the street view.

I always wanted to see that hotel inside, thank you very much

Wow the price was astonishing and I think they just made up the extra charges. Great Vlog Tim.

This really blows the plaza hotel away

As an American, and a Californian, thank you for providing all of your insight into this historic hotel. I have wondered what it would be like. Usually do a fair amount of research and find a less popular hotel or B&B if I'm traveling, but WOW I love seeing what I can expect from these hotels. I love your videos and just recently subscribed and now I'm binge watching.

There's no way I would ever be willing to pay a "employee health and benefit surcharge". That needs to be entirely done by the employer and not by the customer. Same, btw, applies to tips, which are so ridiculously high in the USA just because they fail to pay their waiting staff some decent wages!

Wow. This is something that most of us will never see or experience. Thank you so much for going, and sharing you trip with us 😊

I am shocked that they don’t have a coffee machine. Normally luxury hotels always have a Nespresso machine. Unbelievable

Now, restaurants here in LA are adding fees besides taxes at the end. There is a rebellion against it.

I stayed a the beverly hills hotel back in '07 and it was one the most memorable moments of my life.

I've been lucky enough to stay at the BHH several times. Almost like its own little world, it was tough to leave for meetings, shopping or even sightseeing. The staff were always amazing, the Polo Lounge and Fountain Cafe embodied old Hollywood. Loved the pool, and had quite a bit of late night fun in the Polo bar. The prices were always exorbitant, now more than ever it seems. Would I return? Most definitely!

We rented a great house in Florida with a pool for 10 days for the same money, and the bed was 8ft wide.

As someone who grew up vacationing with my parents but will NEVER voluntarily pay this much, thank you for sharing these experiences! I feel like I’m not missing out for sure

Good griefffffffffff😅 price is outrageous. You deserve to earn money from your videos , you're very good at what you do and it gives us mere mortals a chance to see a more realistic view of hotels and places you stay in . More please 😊

It is a lovely hotel in the middle of the city. The grounds make it an it place. Excellent shape for age.

The Polo Lounge is amazingly famous.. been there many times and always populated with big time celebrities..

Employee Health and Benefit Surcharge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tim imagine if we charged that in the UK, what a f##king liberty. Keep up the great work, you bring a smile to my face with every video you post.

I went to a very expensive hotel once and when I looked at my bill, they added on a resort fee. I asked what the resort fee covered and the person behind the desk said it was for the use of the pool. Well, the pool was outside and it was in New Hampshire during the winter. Obviously it was closed but I guess that didn't matter.

That was a fun tour of the hotel. A few spaces I'd never seen before. I've stayed several times in the bungalows ( apparently the one Jackie O was fond of ). The exceptional staff/service is whats always impressed me most about the BHH

The tv is by Bang & Olufsen, the luxury danish sound company

A blast from the past for me! Never stayed at the hotel, but ate more business lunches in the Polo Lounge than I could possibly count. It's a great old place but those add-ons to the room charges are outrageous. Thank goodness I never had to pick up a lunch tab!

Very nice video man! keep the good jobs!! and that appearance of Jon Lovitz...MADE MY DAY!!!

I’m living vicariously through you 😁 I am the arm chair traveller, thank you for sharing your journey. When I win the lotto you have given me many ideas on where to indulge with my money. 🇨🇦

I knew it was gonna be outrageously expensive when you said 7 dollars for a KitKat! Yikes! Nearly two grand for a one-night stay is insane but that's America, I guess! I'd stick with Holiday Inn type in the future, Tim, haha - fun video, though. 👍

I love when you say WOW.

yes... the polo lounge. Fun spot!

Love the US hotel series you’ve done! Next time you’re on the West Coast of the US you should check out the Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego. Very iconic hotel on the water. Also the Queen Mary in Long Beach CA. Be cool to see your thoughts of both!

First time commenting as only recently subscribed, yet watched your videos for ages, helped get us through lockdown. Love how you can go from staying at The Grand in Scarborough to staying in Beverly Hills and yet the approach of fairness and honesty is exactly the same, and always informative and entertaining.

Your channel has come so far brother, it's awesome to see the disparity between you staying in a rundown Pontins to living it up in LA. Respect man, you deserve all your success and may you have so much more ❤

My fiancee worked there for over 20 years, and she has amazing stories. Jackie O, Meryl Streep, and on. Tracy Chapman walked in and asked her to deliver her demo tape to Clive Davis in his bungalow. She's now been at The Boca Raton Hotel and Club for over 20 years. She loves your hotel adventures

I lived a short walk from this hotel when I first lived in the area late 1960's- Heather Court, B.H., a little house, I was 21-22 years old, a rental. Today it just sold for almost 2 million bucks! Off Coldwater Canyon Drive. Used to drive by this hotel every day.

As an LA resident can I suggest you try the Roosevelt in Hollywood next time. It’s historic and iconic. I always take visitors there. I think it would make an excellent video.

That is bonkers money for a one night stay 😮 The room looked great and it was certainly a once in a lifetime experience to stay somewhere so iconic but I won’t be paying those prices anytime soon 😉 All the surcharges were absolutely nuts. I did love that banana leaf wallpaper in the corridors though, although I suspect you’d get fed up of it pretty quickly 😉

We were in New York recently and got charged $30 per night extra on top of what we paid. We prepaid for the stay and still got charged a lot of extras. Its ridiculous.

I have stayed in the BH I loved it ❤️

Yes. Tip the delivery of your luggage.

The tax and various add-ons are something that America seems to love! And, of course, can add astronomically to the bill. Clearly, the types of people who stay there do not expect to have to make their own coffee! To the celebrities who stay there, the cost is probably pocket money to them. It is, without doubt, an experience to stay there but very much at a cost. Appreciate you doing so for us and providing an, as always, enjoyable video. (You were correct to tip the porter.)

Hi Tim ! OMG that's so expensive wow . They really rip you off over there. Beautiful hotel though. No wonder celebrities go there they can afford it . Oh and of course lottery winner's. Great vlog Tim thanks for sharing with us. Love to you as always Tracey 💕 xxxx

Did you not add the 20% gratuity?! And Edinburgh worries about implementing a £2 a night tourist tax! 😆

Yes, i love the Coronado in san diego. I stayed in a victorian hotel(Horton Grand) in the gas lamp district. But i would stop at the Coronado, just to relive Some Like it Hot. Once i rode up in the elevator, tipped the elevator man. Another time i was strolling around the White House in DC. The Corcoran museum was elegant. Passing a fine hotel, i realized i was dressed well enough to go in. Looked like an old money place. I sat off the lobby, had coffee and pastry served(all i could afford). Very gracious place. About 2 or 3 blocks from the White House, 1989.

so good to see your detail when touring this hotel..I can see that in fact it is truly lacking in some maintenance (bathtub, etc) and comfort features (quiet fan, etc), surprised they are not paying very good attention to these important details..

Wowzers! 😮 that price tag at the end 😮 Oh well I guess you've ticked it off your bucket list Tim for staying there. I for one don't think it warrants that extortionate cost! Looking forward to your remaining vlogs of USA trip, especially Vegas! 🎉🎰🎲

How did you not know to tip the bellman? Wow. Glad you corrected that.

People saying, "Well, that's America". No, "that's California".

Great video as always Tim. Thanks for showing us how the other half live. You deserve some of the finer things in life after all of the hotel horrors. This hotel was so not worth that price tag blooming heck! Plus all of the palm tree wallpaper was giving Golden girls vibes, very dated

The Polo Lounge has my favorite salad ever....for $50! Its crazy. Almost worth it. Just stumbled upon these videos of yours and love them!! Keep it up! ❤️

I would stay there. It is iconic! It is out of my league though. Thanks for sharing!

They don't expect tips, Tim. A toffee would have been fine. Lovely room but ... the add-ons to the rate were outrageous. 'Resort fees' are something to look out for in the States and the Caribbean. Great video.

Keep doing what youre doing Tim,these travelogues are essential viewing and require a tv station to get involved to go to a bigger platform,hope your success continues for many years to come!!Regards to you good lady and son!!

The irony of 4 and 5 star hotels is the less likely to have coffee in the room! Many times it’s in the lobby in the morning but who wants to go get coffee there in the early hours!

Love the gardens and outdoor places.

Celebrated New Years Eve, birthdays, and anniversaries there, ALWAYS IN "THE PAUL WILLIAMS SUITE!" It's one of their most beautiful suites. Some of the BEST memories of my life !

Tim, this was amazing!!! Enjoyed every moment. I just might watch again tomorrow! An inside peak to such an iconic hotel…Fabulous! ❤️

I hear that in the US that it's all the taxes on top that is the killer as it alters from State to State, I guess we're centralised with taxation, but far simpler. £1503.20, luxurious definitely but overpriced, that price so only the super rich can stay there presumably and you😉. Excellent as always Tim.

The one thing I hated about the Beverly Hills Hotel was when the celebrities were staying there, or the stars came for dinner or brunch or for anything, you automatically become a second-class citizen; it's like your money is not essential, you can't go there because their VIPs I will never go to that hotel ever again.

Shocking I know about the coffee and tea. New owners who took over some time ago. He jacked up the prices and took away so much. Love the restaurant polo. More fun to be had in the cafe downstairs. 😎

Woow unbelievably enjoyable reservations🎉 🌹💗💓🌹

6:46 your absolutely correct it was in Beverly Hills Cop (except they call it “The Beverly Palm Hotel” in it for some reason 🤷‍♂️) where he stays there and sends the room service down to the cops car to distract them while he stuffs the exhaust with some bananas 😂

I've driven by this hotel several times before because I live in the area and always wondered what it was like inside. It's not even all that fancy!

I'm Canadian and I've only been to Los Angeles and traveling around California once. I have always wanted to stay at The Beverly Hills Hotel. Wow I had no idea it was that expensive!! On a side note you should travel to Banff Alberta and stay at the Banff Springs Hotel. It's gorgeous.

Jeus Mary and Joseph!! My jaw was on the floor when u went over the bill!! I'm a native Texan.. have live n the US my whole life, and I have NEVER heard of all those extra charges. Guess that's just California for ya. LOL!

My company, Robertson Property Group used to put on a Christmas banquet here every year. Everything is pretty much perfect including the public toilets!

Looks like it has a very old feel to it, yet it’s nice but it looks like it was more luxurious back in the 90s early 2000s if that makes sense.

This country is doomed. You pay $1900.00 a night for a room, but they cant afford to pay their employees health insurance. I would not stay there even if I could ever afford it. What a rip off.

Hotel is great but all the charges is absurd. My husband is from California anyway he said some of the charges is to keep the poor people away. The breakfast is no different to what you had in Denny’s

That was a very nice video. I enjoyed that the hotel was all that I expected. I only wish that Gabby and Casper could have made this trip. Gabby would have loved it! Thanks for taking me along.

You’re better off at the Rosevelt. Larger room, cleaner, killer breakfast and yeah!

This came across a bit like a designer brand in hotel form , youre paying a lot of money for the label but you can get a product of equal or better quality much cheaper elsewhere.

Great video Tim! A tip for the future; if you’re going to book a luxury hotel use a preferred partner. If you had used a Dorchester Diamond Club travel agent you would have received $100 resort credit, room upgrade, early/late arrival, welcome amenities and free breakfast. It also wouldn’t have cost you anymore than you paid. Booking direct or through an OTA is never recommended with a luxury hotel. I know the new GM of the BHH, John Scanlon, from his time at 45 Park Lane - he’s such a good guy and his staff love working for him. I was watching your video thinking you’ve gone from reviewing the Norbreck Castle to the Beverly Hills Hotel - I’m so pleased about this!

I personally wouldn't want to spend that kind of money for one night only. I've stayed in a five star hotel in Rhodes for two weeks for less than that, and that was beautiful. And also when I went to Cyprus for two weeks for even less than that. My dream is to stay at the Plaza for three nights.

I totally agree with you about the taxes and other charges added on at the end.
