Designed to look and feel like a private estate, the Peninsula exudes opulence. There are 193 rooms, suites and private villas situated on the lushly landscaped grounds, along with a fitness centre, a spa, a rooftop garden and a lap pool. Just off the lobby, the gorgeous Club Bar offers entertainment on most nights. The Belvedere, which serves classic American cuisine such as macaroni cheese with a gourmet twist, is considered one of LA's favourite top-class restaurants. White-glove service throughout only adds to the high-end appeal.
