Upon walking into the SLS Beverly Hills Hotel, you will be greeted by a horse. Actually, it is a lamp the size and shape of a horse. This eclectic twist gives you an idea of the sense of style that will surround you at this upscale hotel brand. The breakfast room and café are designed in country chic, while the center of the hotel is a cabinet of wonder, full of eye-catching and otherworldly pieces. It is like walking into a miniature museum designed by William Randolph Hearst, whose mansion is not far up the road. The rooms are lush without being ornamental and designed to be as open as possible. This means you can actually open up the bathroom via a sliding door and talk to your partner as you wash your face.
The staff is not only friendly, but helpful and kind. It is a place that not only serves trendsetting dishes at the restaurant — the highly regarded Bazaar run by José Andrés — but they also don’t think twice about providing you with plates and flatware so you can eat your Trader Joe’s buffet in the comfort of your room.
This brand is truly a luxury hotel that manages to embrace its own high-end style without being exclusive. SLS Hotels are the project of Sam Nazarian, CEO of sbe, a global lifestyle brand with the mission to expand the definition of luxury. In addition to Beverly Hills, there are locations in South Beach, Las Vegas, and Baha Mar, with expected openings in Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and Atlanta in the coming year.
