Beverly Hills

The boundary signs that herald the entrance to Beverly Hills have become a global icon that symbolize the famously wealthy area known as one of the world’s chicest shopping destinations.

The neighborhood exudes pretention, style, and ostentatious affluence, as well-heeled residents, entertainment industry agents, and hordes of tourists stroll along Rodeo Drive, browse the ultra-high end designer boutiques, or meet for power lunches at some of LA’s most sceney restaurants.

Many celebrities call Beverly Hills home, and the “star maps” sold at various points along Sunset Boulevard chart the location of their palatial estates.

Nightlife options are fairly limited and subdued, centering predominantly around swanky dinners and glitzy hotel bars, so for the party-minded, Beverly Hills is better as a place to kick off the evening before heading eastward into the raging nightlife of Hollywood.
