Thompson’s Beverly Hills outpost is perched in central Beverly Hills amidst the all-too-tempting boutiques on Rodeo Drive and a mere stone’s throw away from LA’s bustling business district. Location-wise, it’s the best place to stay in LA if you want to be in the center of it all. Thompson’s interior is dressed in sleek, sexy modernism with a foot in the swinging 60s and a re-imagined refined LA simplicity that’s clad in dark leathers, glass and exotic woods courtesy of designer Dodd Mitchell. You can kick back with a drink in hand and gaze out onto the glorious LA cityscape from the rooftop pool and bar, or enjoy the scene from your very own private balcony. And when it comes to culinary credentials, Cauldfield’s Bar & Dining Room offers up only the best seasonal produce fresh from local farmers markets and transforms it into simple small plate delights and delicious desserts.
