Hotels Near Panache Bridals in Beverly Hills

This hotel is beautiful and the amenities are just what you would expect with a 5* hotel (gym, spa, bar, restaurant). However paying £600 a night, you’d expect to be able to access the spa without an additional cost. It does feel like the hotel doesn’t ‘value’ its guests in this department and is more concerned with its daily visitors. I was disappointed with a lady at front desk (she was a younger asian or hispanic lady). She had promised a 50% discount with parking (Which is $71 per day) and suddenly had amnesia at checkout. She also came across rude and unhelpful. The in room dining staff are brilliant. Special shout out to Wendy & Matthew who went above and beyond during my stay! Unfortunately, the bed smelt strongly of sweat/b.o when we arrived and this was resolved straight away. Other than this, the beds were comfy, the balconies are helpful but could be better in terms of views and furniture. Pros and cons throughout!

The hotel has 3-4 floors, and the pool view is pretty. The room was spacious enough and the king size bed was comfortable. However, there was a lot of musty smell in the hotel. And when I shower, the water doesn't drain quickly. There are many good hotels around the location, so I went to another hotel for breakfast.

Hotel closed to Universal studios, walking around 5 minutes. Great room, clean. The only bad was check in time waiting too long. We were arriving 12 pm and we had to waiting till 4 pm to get our room.

My experience was very great! This was my first ever solo trip and my first stay at a hostel. The staff was very accommodating and the room was very clean, the bed was very comfortable and I loved the amenities that you get with the room. For a cheap price you get a lot more than just a dorm. You get things like a outdoor common area, a very nice kitchen, indoor common areas and sometimes events like comedy night, and a free breakfast every morning. This hostel is in a really good location for the area. It’s not too far from the beach and the pier and you’re very close to the public transportation. I met some really cool people at this place traveling from all over and we all hung out and had a good time.

Nice hotel, delicious vegetarian breakfast, you can take it with you. Parking at the hotel is paid, we parked on the next street. No pool, but you can see the ocean from the window. Some rooms overlook garbage containers, but they have the best view of the ocean)))

There is no sense of security in the neighborhood. Very small lobby, not the concept of the domestic Ritz-Carlton, it seems that the apartment lobby, there is no service, the service such as water has to make a few calls before sending it, I feel that no one is serving the whole hotel.

The lobby was very nice and the staff was very accommodating. However, the bedrooms were a bit older than what we saw in the lobby. The shower head proved to be a bit of a problem for a nice hotel experience since it had a unique design where I had to pull the lever out in order for water to come out compared to the usual twist levers. The water pressure was also not that great since it seemed that water was not dispersed evenly through the shower head resulting to a poor leak in how water was coming through for the shower. It would have been a more pleasant experience if this shower problem was fixed. I also noticed how the towels were turning grey after use from the shower? I'm not sure why this happens but it was mildly concerning.

Could easily be zero stars. Original room was 93 degrees upon check in, the air conditioning unit was poor by anyone's standard, we asked to switch rooms. They did not offer to come get our bags, or move us to a new room so we brought our luggage back down to the front desk. We were then given a second room. Again, no offer made to accompany us and see if the new room was up to standards. This room was 92 degrees upon entry. After a second phone call, they sent up staff to change the filters on the AC unit. That team told us the AC was functioning well and blowing cold air (it was blowing cold air as if you had a few ice cubes in your mouth and blew on my neck) and to use the blackout curtains (after a sort of condescending explanation of what blackout curtains do) and give it some time for the AC to work. We went out to dinner for about two hours and came back to a nice cool 87 degree room. We once again took our belongings back downstairs. We were then told by the front desk staff that since we booked a room with a king size bed all of those rooms faced the sun and would all have similar problems (why would that be an acceptable answer?) and they could do nothing more for us since they accommodated us once already. I had no idea their idea of accommodating someone was to put them in a room with the same problem that the previous room had but what do I know, I am not in the hospitality industry. We were then told that the hotel was completely booked so no further ”accommodations” could be made. We asked for a refund and this is the first time they reacted with some conviction, they were happy to let us leave. Must be nice to be able to turn away business. At no time were there any apologies, any remorse, just matter-of-factly let us leave. My wife and I don't argue or yell, we never feel its worth it, but we left angry and hotel-less on a Saturday night in Los Angeles. We scrambled to find a new hotel but the damage was done, they took our entire Saturday away from us, which no refund could ever compensate for, they temporarily took our joy to be in town on our own as we are parents and do not get much time away. We did take our business elsewhere, to a Hilton, they seem to understand that to relax you need a room that is slightly cooler than a sauna. We were able to salvage the remaining days of our trip. Also the elevators at the Freehand are old (charming?) and constantly in use because of the rooftop bar so it took us waiting for a few packed elevators to get up and down to the hot AF rooms which probably added to our level of frustration. But it was mostly the Sahara like environment of the hot room. Did I mention the rooms were hot? Also maybe use a free hand to open a book on what hospitality looks like, I think your staff may be surprised. (see what I did there?)

Front desk, housekeeping and restaurant are all welcoming and accommodating. It feels like home. Rooms are very clean and well maintained. The location is close to restaurants and Los Angeles International airport.
