General information

The west-coast capital of business and entertainment, Los Angeles is known as the City of Angels. Originally a sleepy little town, Los Angeles grew slowly until the discovery of oil at the close of the 1800s. But it was the silver-screen era that turned Los Angeles into a boomtown – with the idyllic Southern California climate allowing filming to take place outdoors all year round.

The exclusive community of Beverly Hills is midway between downtown Los Angeles and Pacific Ocean beaches. Simultaneously a small town and a highly sophisticated city, Beverly Hills is both a glamorous, trend-setting destination for shopping and dining and a quietly elegant residential enclave favoured by Hollywood’s elite.

Within this palm-lined residential neighbourhood stands Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles – in close proximity to downtown Beverly Hills, the setting for world-famous Rodeo Drive, as well as other dynamic shopping areas on Robertson Boulevard, Melrose Avenue and Third Street. Just as close to major business centres, Four Seasons provides best-of-both-worlds convenience.
