Transplanting a distinctly European sensibility onto one of Beverly Hills' most prominent corners was the central ambition behind Maybourne Beverly Hills, which opened in 2021 as the London group's first American address. The nine-storey building, designed by ForrestPerkins with an Italianate facade of warm limestone-toned stucco, tall arched windows, and balustrade-lined terraces, draws its massing from the grand urban palazzo tradition — an unexpected register for Wilshire Boulevard, but one that Beverly Hills' Spanish Colonial streetscape absorbs more willingly than you might expect. Below, a parterre garden with clipped boxwood hedges, a central stone fountain, and columned arcades gives the ground level the unhurried geometry of a Florentine courtyard. The 193 rooms were refreshed under the Maybourne ownership to a palette that deliberately lightens the building's European formality — warm oak headboards with upholstered linen panels, grey wool benches on mid-century legs, fluted timber credenzas, and accents of soft coral and slate blue that shift the mood toward California without abandoning the property's inherent refinement. Framed works on paper animate the walls without crowding them. The rooftop pool deck, oriented toward the Santa Monica Mountains and the treetops of the flats below, reinforces that the building's real relationship is with its landscape rather than its street, a clarity of placement that not many new-build hotels in Los Angeles manage to achieve.
