However, there are so many amazing hotels in which one could stay at, it can become difficult trying to figure out which one to actually stay in. Well, I have researched and reviewed the top three hotels for your consideration.

The first hotel in which I reviewed is The Ritz-Carlton, Huntington Hotel & Spa. This five-star historic hotel rests in the San Gabriel foothills. When a guests walks through the doors of this Ritz-Carlton, they are greeted by a dark-wood registration area, where the employees call the guests by their names. Guests eyes are quickly guided to the oil portraits, which hang over formal chairs and tables. Some of the amenities include a redwood-covered bridge that extends 232-feet over the pool area. Guests can also enjoy a sauna, steam room, fitness center, and relaxation rooms – all of this is available to every guest without charge.

The second hotel in which I reviewed is the Raffles L’ermitage Beverly Hills. This five-star hotel is the traditional Beverly Hills chic, with a slight Asian touch. This hotel is located adjacent to DreamWorks and Virgin Records recording studios, so it is no wonder this hotel is a favorite among entertainment industry guests. Some of the amenities this hotel has to offer is the RafflesAmrita spa that specializes in facial and body treatments, salon services, fitness equipment, and steam rooms.
