With a mid-century patio vibe The Avalon Hotel Beverly Hills pays tribute to its 1950’s origin when it was a favorite spot for the likes of Marilyn Monroe and Lucille Ball. Situated in the southern tip of Beverly Hills just a short ride from Rodeo Drive, the Avalon Hotel’s 83 rooms look out over the dramatic boomerang-shaped pool and offers guests a colorful, well designed environment to relax or take business meetings (or a little bit of both). And with the recent addition of Viviane Restaurant’s guests and locals alike can enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner inside the brightly lit lobby or poolside under the breezy bamboo. Pop in for a delicious weekend brunch or happy hour respite from the busy bustle of the city.
