The Beverly Hills landmark L’Ermitage Beverly Hills celebrates five decades with a refreshed look, renewed energy and a sharper focus on food and drink. Its recent multi-year transformation set the stage for this milestone year, unveiling Costa Covo Osteria, a rooftop revival at Poza and a few golden touches that mark the hotel’s next chapter.
Tucked away on Burton Way, L’Ermitage Beverly Hills has long been the city’s quieter side of luxury. Opened in 1975 as the first all-suite hotel in the United States, it built a reputation for privacy, space and residential comfort that attracted Hollywood insiders and long-stay regulars. Now, fifty years later, the hotel is using its anniversary to honor that legacy while introducing a fresher perspective driven by its new culinary direction.
“This anniversary is a tribute to the spirit of L’Ermitage: quiet luxury, timeless glamour and the moments that have defined us, while also celebrating the future of what Beverly Hills hospitality can be,” shares General Manager Frédéric Zemmour.
That spirit comes to life through a season of collaborations. To mark the milestone, the hotel partnered with Golden Goose on The Golden Closet, a limited-run giveaway that blends Italian fashion and hospitality. Guests booking stays between October 15th and November 15th can win sneakers, a design session at the Rodeo Drive flagship and the co-branded Golden Goose Sneaker Dessert, a cake shaped like one of the brand’s signature shoes, finished with gold accents and edible laces. Playful and extravagant, the dessert captures the over-the-top spirit of the celebration itself.
Costa Covo Osteria represents the next chapter in the hotel’s dining program, blending Italian coastal cooking with California ingredients. Start dinner with a show and order the La Fiamma, a vodka cocktail that arrives at the table in flames. Then move into antipasti like Spanish octopus with potato espuma and smoked trout roe, or comforting bowls of homemade rigatoni topped with creamy burrata. Finish with classic Italian plates like whole grilled branzino with piri piri, labneh and pickled Jimmy Nardello peppers. The cooking is precise and confident, served in a room of silver-leaf ceilings, velvet chairs and soft light that keeps the focus on the plate.
At Poza, the rooftop comes alive under a wide-open Beverly Hills sky. The gold line legacy martini was designed as a golden tribute to the hotel’s 50th anniversary and the $150 drink feels perfectly at home in Beverly Hills. The Beluga vodka martini is mixed with Provence herbs and olive oil, pear brandy and Dolin Blanc vermouth, and finished with Osetra caviar and a shimmer of gold. As the sun drops, 360-degree views stretch from the hills to the city, set to DJs spinning through Sunset Sessions each Saturday. The menu keeps pace with bright, shareable plates like bluefin tuna poke, California sushi rolls and other easy favorites made for long afternoons that spill into night.
Even as it evolves, L’Ermitage Beverly Hills continues to anchor the city’s hospitality landscape. The 116-suite property remains the longest-tenured all-suite hotel with a Forbes Five-Star rating in the world and holds Two Keys in the MICHELIN Guide. With expansive rooms, private dressing areas and a guest experience defined by discretion and detail, it stands as one of the few places in Beverly Hills where legacy continues to matter.
