![]() ![]() While the hotel is a Beverly Hills classic, it feels surprisingly lively and unpretentious. In 2010, the presidential and penthouse suites received even more dramatic makeovers as well. A massive, $40-million renovation in 2006-2007 included the addition of the spa and Wolfgang Puck's steakhouse, CUT, which attracts a hip, young clientele (or younger women with older men), as well as an overhaul of the pool and all guest rooms. The doting service you'd expect from that luxury chain is present from check-in to checkout, though help can be a bit slow around the pool. Formerly the Regent Beverly Wilshire, the hotel changed its name to the "Beverly Wilshire Beverly Hills, A Four Seasons Hotel" in 2006, more than a decade after the Four Seasons began managing the property. Indeed, it's just across the street from the famed stretch of luxury shopping, and just a couple blocks down Wilshire Boulevard from upscale department stores like Saks Fifth Avenue and Barneys New York. Upgrades are common, and the concierges enthusiastically assist guests with any request.īuilt in 1928, the iconic, 395-room Beverly Wilshire is as Beverly Hills as Rodeo Drive. At the Beverly Wilshire, every guest, no matter who they are, is treated like someone special. Of course, you're not, you're the 10,000th, but no matter. "That's a great film," one of the smartly suited concierges will say, as if you're one of the first guests to want to watch the film in the hotel. And yes, you can borrow the DVD from the concierge's extensive DVD library (they have multiple copies) without embarrassment. Yes, this is the hotel featured prominently in the 1990 film Pretty Woman. The ground floor bar / lounge will continue to operate as usual with daytime and evening service.First things first. During the transition, the restaurant will offer dinner only starting July 28 th and breakfast and lunch will be served at the Rooftop Grill, with beautiful views overlooking Los Angeles. Although we cannot announce anything as of yet, together our companies will be bringing exciting projects to diners in the future,” notes Zakarian. “Montage is an incredible luxury brand, and it was an honor to partner with their team here in Beverly Hills. ![]() Chef Geoffrey Zakarian and Montage Hotels & Resorts have enjoyed a wonderful partnership and both look forward to continuing their working relationship with each other. Montage Beverly Hills will be undergoing changes to the current ground floor restaurant space situated along the Beverly Canon Garden, and Georgie, Chef Geoffrey Zakarian’s restaurant, will be relocating to a new home in Los Angeles. Here’s the full, joint statement from Montage and Zakarian’s team regarding the “transition”: In the meantime, Geoffrey Zakarian’s reps tell Eater that he does plan to reopen Georgie in another location somewhere in Los Angeles, and that he still plans to work with Montage Hotels & Resorts group on other projects. Reps say another restaurant will eventually go into the prime space that looks out onto a parklet. Anyone looking to get breakfast or lunch at the hotel can dine at the hotel’s rooftop. Once Georgie closes this weekend, the restaurant will be unavailable for a week to accommodate private events before temporarily reopening for dinner only beginning July 28 as The Restaurant at Montage. That bar area will continue its operations as usual, but will be called The Bar at Montage Beverly Hills. He also gave the Garden Bar area a more casual, easygoing vibe that made it easier for meet ups. Zakarian gave the interior a nice touch up that felt very much like an inside version of the patio at Polo Lounge, which wasn’t a bad idea. The California-Mediterranean restaurant first debuted just over two years ago in June 2016 in the former Scarpetta space. Georgie, which Food Network personality and New York City chef Geoffrey Zakarian opened inside the ground floor of the ritzy Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills, will close for service this Sunday, July 15. ![]()
