“Lowkey” and “Beverly Hills” don’t often exist in the same sentence, but L’Ermitage in Beverly Hills is the kind of low-key, quiet luxury escape that’s hard to find in Los Angeles.
The hotel features a suites-only setup for a comfortably spacious stay, and boasts a private location on a tree-lined street that offers a respite from the bustling pace of LA’s most elite neighborhood. The service throughout the property is unmatched—expect everyone, from the concierge to the hosts at the restaurants, to remember your name—and the amenities are plentiful.
You’ll find yourself at a loss for where to sit in your room, as every sofa and chair is more comfortable than the next. And if you’re in one of the Heritage Suites or one of their specialty suites, you’ll have plenty of space to entertain your family or guests.
No detail is too small at L’Ermitage: find your initials embroidered onto your pillowcase (as well as your pet’s name sewn into a customized bandana, if you’re traveling with your four-legged friend), handwritten cards greet you upon arrival and bid you farewell upon departure, and indulge in Diptyque bathroom products that smell as delicious as they feel.
Though the furnishings are classic and glamorous, they still feel homey and welcoming, allowing you to settle in, no matter how long your stay is.
L’Ermitage’s tagline is “Please, make yourself at home,” and they really do fulfill that promise. Though the property oozes Beverly Hills opulence, you’ll feel like you’re walking into a home that was tailor-made just for you.
