Beverly Hills hotels - Most popular
Beverly Hills hotels have been shifting direction regarding their target market during the last few years. Traditionally these hotels have catered to leisure travelers, but nowadays they're focusing more and more on business executives, who can comprise up to 80% of total customers. Some of the most notorious and frequently selected hotels are the following:
- Beverly Hilton hotel: Conrad Hilton's hotel opened in 1953, with a total of 582 rooms. Its International Ballroom is now easily recognized as the home of the annual Golden Globe Award ceremony. In the next few years, the hotel is expected to undergo a $500 million renovation and expansion.
