For a classic LA experience, dress up and swill martinis in the Beverly Hills Hotel's legendary bar. Charlie Chaplin had a standing lunch reservation at booth 1 and it was here that HR Haldeman and John Ehrlichman learned of the Watergate break-in in 1972. There's a popular Sunday jazz brunch (adult/child $95/20).
Veteran maître d' Pepe De Anda has a story for every booth, while the bar's name stems back to the days when polo players would head here after their games at Will Rogers Park. Don't miss the historical photographs of the hotel, hung both inside the venue and at its entrance.
Note that the hotel has faced protests in recent years due to the anti-LGBT policies of its owner, the Sultan of Brunei.
