I Stay in the world ONLY 7 Star Hotel! 👉kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n6ePaZyYnZ2tnKs.html

This country is doomed. You pay $1900.00 a night for a room, but they cant afford to pay their employees health insurance. I would not stay there even if I could ever afford it. What a rip off.

I lived in L.A. for a short period of time and on my last night in town, we went out to the strip for a few drinks. I was a little drunk and sad that I was leaving-and lamenting the fact that I had never seen the inside of the BHH. So on the way home, I asked my Cali friend if he could stop there-I was going in. I marched into the lobby, after midnight I might add-and explained my dilemma. And the staff couldn’t have been any nicer…they showed me around the lobby area, gave me some matchbooks, postcards, pens and stationary. It was very sweet of them and a cool memory. And some day I shall stay there!

Since 2021, Rates at the Beverly Hills Hotel have gone up over 60%, a deluxe room in 2019-2020 was $675 a night, now it's $1,600 per night. Crazy prices, even for Beverly Hills.

Does paying an Employee Health Benefit tax means that the hotel has somehow legally found a way to avoid paying their share of the employee's health insurance plan and they have instead passed that charge on to the public?!

Tim I don't know if you'll see this but please don't be apologetic for your channel being successful and you earning more from it due to that. It enables you to make this content. And I would add that if you get offered sponsorship deals, you should take them, assuming morally you agree. There's only so many opportunities in life, and with how hard you work to bring people this content you really deserve it.

As a former employee of the BHH this was a nice walk down memory lane. I loved seeing all the familiar places, and they have not changed much, it's a classic. One of the things we were known for was our customer service, but i didn't see you interacting with much of the staff, and i don't know if that's post covid or things have just changed there. For example any time we had a new guest checking in we would walk them to the room to and tell them about the hotel then point out how to operate features in the room. It was a nice one on one experience that most hotels didn't offer. We would have let you know about the coffee situation and if you wanted, have housekeeping send up a coffee maker. I know it seems weird, but that was the level of one on one customer service we were going for, a real guest interaction instead of just a nameless faceless anywhere hotel that was not memorable. We had so many guests that said they felt like we were family, we knew them by name, and they knew their favorite staff by name. Ahhh, the good old days. Like i said, maybe post covid has changed that type of interaction :(

The one thing I hated about the Beverly Hills Hotel was when the celebrities were staying there, or the stars came for dinner or brunch or for anything, you automatically become a second-class citizen; it's like your money is not essential, you can't go there because their VIPs I will never go to that hotel ever again.

The hotel is gorgeous but no tea or coffee in the room would be a massive disappointment for me! I love the convenience of making my own cuppa as soon as I get to the room on holidays. You even get this in 3 star hotels in Ireland.

Before you itemised the bill, I was reckoning at about $850. My jaw dropped when you gave the actual cost! It’s fascinating to watch you showing us the opulence of these places, Tim, but I still think you were robbed, especially the Employee Health & Benefit and BH Occupancy charges. If I stay somewhere here in the UK, I’ve never been charged anything like this. What a racket!

I am shocked that they don’t have a coffee machine. Normally luxury hotels always have a Nespresso machine. Unbelievable

I grew up seeing The Beverly Hills Hotel from the outside. A thousand thanks for the opportunity to see it on the inside.

As an American, my thought on seeing that room was, “that’s at least a $1200 room right there” so I wasn’t too far off. The breakfast was expensive - even as a New Yorker, seeing eggs and hashbrowns for over $24 makes my eyes water. But Jon Loviitz celebrity sighting? Priceless!

Great video Tim, I wasn’t very impressed with the standard of your room, for that price I would expect everything to be pristine. . . As my late mother used to say… it’s all fur coat and no knickers! Lol

I had the dough to stay in one of the bungalows there around 2002. The old inheritance thing. So I looked on line at all the pics of them. Oh my... I like the vibe at the hotel. You CAN just go to the pool and get drinks without staying there. (I didn't stay there) But the separate bungalows are supremely swankarooney. One or two have their own pools, a grand piano in one, and the 40's lux furnishings are really grand. Plus the old vegetation around the place makes it that much more cozy. So, DO look up the five or six bungalows there and see the pics. People stay in these for weeks...to write or escape. Very rich people...

I'm shocked by that room price. Your hotel room in Dubai's 7star was a palace compared to this, and for a similar price! Wow. Great content, thank you.👌🏼 ❤

I've driven by this hotel several times before because I live in the area and always wondered what it was like inside. It's not even all that fancy!

In that first bal room the light looked like a giant wasps nest!

Those extra charges haha no wonder people are fleeing california on mass.

I stayed at a resort in Missouri and there was multiple gift baskets and a fridge filled with drinks and their where notes stating "no extra cost, so enjoy at your leisure". You could even request a bus to help get to specific part of the resort and related attractions, no extra cost. Plus the website also shows the after tax prices straight up and no hidden fees. (The taxes where 8%, so not any different than sales tax here). I grew up in California, so I was use to resorts trying to nickle and dime you, so even though the place was not cheap, it actual felt like you got what you paid for.

I used to do a lot of traveling for my job. In the old days they would charge you every time you used the phone to make a local call, and God forbid if you had to make a long distance call. Also, every time your electronic room key was used to access the gym at some hotels. One other thing, I had no idea the Beverly Hills Hotel was that big. It looks so small from the street view.

Thank you for showing us inside this iconic hotel, it's the closest I'll ever come to staying there!! 🤣 Fascinating to see what the hotel is actually like inside after seeing it from the outside countless times on TV & the big screen! As always Tim, fantastic and so entertaining!

Tim, I think the people who normally stay there are more likely to charter a private jet to the closest Starbucks than make their own coffee... "Making my own coffee, what a ghastly idea."

6:04 I love Jon Lovitz. I can’t believe you referenced FRIENDS amongst his other work 😂

I'm Canadian and I've only been to Los Angeles and traveling around California once. I have always wanted to stay at The Beverly Hills Hotel. Wow I had no idea it was that expensive!! On a side note you should travel to Banff Alberta and stay at the Banff Springs Hotel. It's gorgeous.

I really, REALLY enjoy this series. Chap is nice and down-to-earth. Kind - even when there is nothing good to say about a place, he is honest, but always tries to find a positive in the negative. (See Circus, Circus; Las Vegas). This is better than watching the news!😃

I have to confess that if money were no object, I would stay there in a heartbeat! In this setting, I wierdly love the Blanche Devereaux 'Golden Girls' wallpaper and all that peachy-pink decor - there are very few places in the world where that decor would look chic as opposed to achingly naff! Thank you for showing us these places. I was way out on the price; I was basing my guess on some very good London hotels, but then I noticed from your cup that it is part of the Dorchester Collection, and realised that I was out by a fair amount! But those taxes are a killer on top of everything else; I am all for paying taxes, but I would much rather they include it all in the rate!

I’m so grateful you stayed here so I get to see it but don’t have to foot the bill! 😂 Thank You Tim, excellent vlog!

In case you are wondering the tax is specifically for Beverly hills. It varies based on location, as a way to tax the rich.

I went to a very expensive hotel once and when I looked at my bill, they added on a resort fee. I asked what the resort fee covered and the person behind the desk said it was for the use of the pool. Well, the pool was outside and it was in New Hampshire during the winter. Obviously it was closed but I guess that didn't matter.

I really enjoyed watching that, thanks Tim. My husband, son and I stayed in the Marilyn Monroe cottage of the BHH for two nights as a retirement treat in 2014. I had often wondered what the rooms/suites were like in the main hotel and I thought that your room 219 was fab. We loved the old Hollywood ‘Rat Pack’ atmosphere that the place still has with all the stars of yesteryear staying there and partying. We thoroughly enjoyed our time spent poolside. I didn’t swim, but my husband and son did and told me that whilst swimming under the water there was piped Frank Sinatra music that could be heard whilst under the water, how amazing was that? It is a very expensive place to stay, but what an iconic place. We loved every minute of it and I would certainly stay there again if I had the opportunity xx

I went to college in Los Angeles & we loved to go to the Polo Lounge for drinks. First time I went, I had just started school & was 17. We had Moet & Chandon champagne & saw Ethel Merman & Norman Fell while we were there. Another time, I went with a group after an ROTC formal. The men were in uniform & everyone in the bar bought us drinks. Wonderful memories! PS - you don't have to be a guest to go to the Polo Lounge or to the restaurant. Very expensive but a real treat!

Wow the price was astonishing and I think they just made up the extra charges. Great Vlog Tim.

We rented a great house in Florida with a pool for 10 days for the same money, and the bed was 8ft wide.

Celebrated New Years Eve, birthdays, and anniversaries there, ALWAYS IN "THE PAUL WILLIAMS SUITE!" It's one of their most beautiful suites. Some of the BEST memories of my life !

I stayed in Bangalow 1c for my 40th birthday for 3 nights. It's a lovely hotel. And yes, I stole the corkscrew.

Tim you amaze me . How do you find the confidence to stay in such over the top hotels lol. It’s lovely for us to see though ,so please carry on 🤗

Seeing Jon Lovtiz come out of nowhere put a huge smile on my face. I've been a huge fan of his for years. Definitely gave this video a thumbs up!

I lived a short walk from this hotel when I first lived in the area late 1960's- Heather Court, B.H., a little house, I was 21-22 years old, a rental. Today it just sold for almost 2 million bucks! Off Coldwater Canyon Drive. Used to drive by this hotel every day.

This really blows the plaza hotel away

I knew it was gonna be outrageously expensive when you said 7 dollars for a KitKat! Yikes! Nearly two grand for a one-night stay is insane but that's America, I guess! I'd stick with Holiday Inn type in the future, Tim, haha - fun video, though. 👍

Good griefffffffffff😅 price is outrageous. You deserve to earn money from your videos , you're very good at what you do and it gives us mere mortals a chance to see a more realistic view of hotels and places you stay in . More please 😊

The tv is by Bang & Olufsen, the luxury danish sound company

Now THAT is a Hotel! 🌴🌸🌴🌸🌴

The only reason the hotel charges so much is that people will pay these exorbitant rates. But of course, these are quite outrageous prices and certainly for the ordinary man in the street, completely out of reach unless, as Tim says, a lottery win is present.

That is bonkers money for a one night stay 😮 The room looked great and it was certainly a once in a lifetime experience to stay somewhere so iconic but I won’t be paying those prices anytime soon 😉 All the surcharges were absolutely nuts. I did love that banana leaf wallpaper in the corridors though, although I suspect you’d get fed up of it pretty quickly 😉

Just started watching this video and I'm already stressed out about that exchange with the man who delivered the luggage. I find the tax and tipping culture very stressful and it honestly puts me off travelling to the US. On my last holiday (in Europe) I didn't carry cash at all! Thankfully I was never in a situation where I needed cash or had to tip, I think soon the fact that people don't carry cash is going to become a real problem for people who rely on tips to make up their wages.

I've been lucky enough to stay at the BHH several times. Almost like its own little world, it was tough to leave for meetings, shopping or even sightseeing. The staff were always amazing, the Polo Lounge and Fountain Cafe embodied old Hollywood. Loved the pool, and had quite a bit of late night fun in the Polo bar. The prices were always exorbitant, now more than ever it seems. Would I return? Most definitely!

As an American, and a Californian, thank you for providing all of your insight into this historic hotel. I have wondered what it would be like. Usually do a fair amount of research and find a less popular hotel or B&B if I'm traveling, but WOW I love seeing what I can expect from these hotels. I love your videos and just recently subscribed and now I'm binge watching.

People saying, "Well, that's America". No, "that's California".

I’m living vicariously through you 😁 I am the arm chair traveller, thank you for sharing your journey. When I win the lotto you have given me many ideas on where to indulge with my money. 🇨🇦

The Polo Lounge is amazingly famous.. been there many times and always populated with big time celebrities..

Employee Health and Benefit Surcharge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tim imagine if we charged that in the UK, what a f##king liberty. Keep up the great work, you bring a smile to my face with every video you post.

Even if I did save up the money to stay there, I'd just feel too out of place at this hotel. Seems like a one and done experience unless you're ultra rich.

How did you not know to tip the bellman? Wow. Glad you corrected that.

Love the US hotel series you’ve done! Next time you’re on the West Coast of the US you should check out the Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego. Very iconic hotel on the water. Also the Queen Mary in Long Beach CA. Be cool to see your thoughts of both!

I stayed a the beverly hills hotel back in '07 and it was one the most memorable moments of my life.

Did you not add the 20% gratuity?! And Edinburgh worries about implementing a £2 a night tourist tax! 😆

Thats a joke all them extra charges 😮

The Polo Lounge has my favorite salad ever....for $50! Its crazy. Almost worth it. Just stumbled upon these videos of yours and love them!! Keep it up! ❤️

Jeus Mary and Joseph!! My jaw was on the floor when u went over the bill!! I'm a native Texan.. have live n the US my whole life, and I have NEVER heard of all those extra charges. Guess that's just California for ya. LOL!

It's crazy that they charge guests an employee health and benefit fee while you're also expected to tip them as you go along. And that city tax is insane, I'm assuming it's proportional so that if I were staying in a $150 room, I'd pay about $20?

Wow. This is something that most of us will never see or experience. Thank you so much for going, and sharing you trip with us 😊

You’re better off at the Rosevelt. Larger room, cleaner, killer breakfast and yeah!

My company, Robertson Property Group used to put on a Christmas banquet here every year. Everything is pretty much perfect including the public toilets!

As someone who grew up vacationing with my parents but will NEVER voluntarily pay this much, thank you for sharing these experiences! I feel like I’m not missing out for sure

In America, we put taxes on everything except the rich.

I got to stay here back in 1999, I can't believe this place hasn't changed in 24 years...😂😂😂

I love walking into the lobby of a famous hotel! It makes me smile. Thanks for this 😎

That was a fun tour of the hotel. A few spaces I'd never seen before. I've stayed several times in the bungalows ( apparently the one Jackie O was fond of ). The exceptional staff/service is whats always impressed me most about the BHH

The irony of 4 and 5 star hotels is the less likely to have coffee in the room! Many times it’s in the lobby in the morning but who wants to go get coffee there in the early hours!

If you had walked down to the lobby and coming the other way was Taggart , Rosewood and Foley my head would have fallen off Tim 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

It is a lovely hotel in the middle of the city. The grounds make it an it place. Excellent shape for age.

Now that i was not expecting for the price 😱 holy!!! When i visited LA, I stayed in a cheap hotel in San Bernardino, it was $129/night with taxes included. Sure it was not luxury but it was comfortable and think I'd prefer that over $1,800+ 😱😱😱 Great video as always!

As an LA resident can I suggest you try the Roosevelt in Hollywood next time. It’s historic and iconic. I always take visitors there. I think it would make an excellent video.

I would stay there. It is iconic! It is out of my league though. Thanks for sharing!

yes... the polo lounge. Fun spot!

The tax and various add-ons are something that America seems to love! And, of course, can add astronomically to the bill. Clearly, the types of people who stay there do not expect to have to make their own coffee! To the celebrities who stay there, the cost is probably pocket money to them. It is, without doubt, an experience to stay there but very much at a cost. Appreciate you doing so for us and providing an, as always, enjoyable video. (You were correct to tip the porter.)

I hear that in the US that it's all the taxes on top that is the killer as it alters from State to State, I guess we're centralised with taxation, but far simpler. £1503.20, luxurious definitely but overpriced, that price so only the super rich can stay there presumably and you😉. Excellent as always Tim.

I love the way you review the hotel rooms, flights, and the city you visit.

My son and daughter took me to this hotel to celebrate my birthday last month. It was the first time I’d visited California to see my son who lives in Beverly Hills. (He’s from Leyland in the UK). We had delicious dishes of assorted cooked breakfasts , prepared as we watched amidst a busy bar and service area. The hotel was beautiful and the assortment of super cars was certainly worth the visit.

Beautiful hotel, but way too expensive for what it is though. It was featured in Mad Men (the episode where Don meets ‘Joy’, and Prince used to hire a bungalow there too. Tim - You should do Chateau Marmont next

Nice one Tim! What an iconic hotel, love the retro vibes 👍

That’s Jon Lovitz. He’s considered a legend in the comic industry. Starred in SNL, News Radio and more famously now, he owned a few comedy clubs too. Was never a major star, but pretty popular nonetheless with his peers.

Lovely hotel, I love the outside areas with all the palm trees and cozy sitting areas and the large pool. I like the soft brown colors of the room- But very expensive. I would come for coffee, brunch and swimming in the pool. Not staying overnight and save the money.

Your comments about everything being so big in (North) America - when I first went to England when I was a kid stayed with a family and the mum asked me how I liked her house (which was very lovely, and now I know, big for the U.K.) I exclaimed how everything was so small! I think she hated me after that. I’m sorry everything is just bigger over here!

I can't wait see it 🤩 lucky you

A blast from the past for me! Never stayed at the hotel, but ate more business lunches in the Polo Lounge than I could possibly count. It's a great old place but those add-ons to the room charges are outrageous. Thank goodness I never had to pick up a lunch tab!

My husband hates when there is no coffee maker. Especially when it's an expensive room. It's funny, I do the same thing you do. I walk around and look at everything. I love the emblems on everything. So fancy.

Very nice video man! keep the good jobs!! and that appearance of Jon Lovitz...MADE MY DAY!!!

Your channel has come so far brother, it's awesome to see the disparity between you staying in a rundown Pontins to living it up in LA. Respect man, you deserve all your success and may you have so much more ❤

just posting ideas - the shard london - 5 star really for city business travelers but - whats nice is that they deliberately employed local people and trained them up - expensive - views like Thames views cost a lot more than the normal expensive rate - top of building - afternoon tea - bar - restaurent - looks very nice.

Yes. Tip the delivery of your luggage.

Wowzers! 😮 that price tag at the end 😮 Oh well I guess you've ticked it off your bucket list Tim for staying there. I for one don't think it warrants that extortionate cost! Looking forward to your remaining vlogs of USA trip, especially Vegas! 🎉🎰🎲

They don't expect tips, Tim. A toffee would have been fine. Lovely room but ... the add-ons to the rate were outrageous. 'Resort fees' are something to look out for in the States and the Caribbean. Great video.

enjoyed the video well done tim

Great review - these classic places

Hi Tim ! OMG that's so expensive wow . They really rip you off over there. Beautiful hotel though. No wonder celebrities go there they can afford it . Oh and of course lottery winner's. Great vlog Tim thanks for sharing with us. Love to you as always Tracey 💕 xxxx

Really enjoyed this video Tim! Keep up the great work 👏🏼

I so enjoyed this, really appreciate you making the film, gives me something to aspire to , if I can work 120 hours a week at £10 per hour for the next year I will be there, can't wait !
