Beverly Wilshire, Beverly Hills, A Four Seasons Hotel has been named the number-one hotel in Los Angeles in Condé Nast Traveler’s 2026 Readers’ Choice Awards. The result places the landmark property at the top of a field of more than 1,000 hotels in the Los Angeles area.
Condé Nast Traveler received more than 798,000 reader responses in the United States for the 2026 survey. The awards reflect travellers’ own ratings of destinations and properties they would most like to revisit.
A Beverly Hills landmark at the top of the list
The Beverly Wilshire opened in 1928 and has become one of the city’s best-known luxury hotels. Its position at the edge of Rodeo Drive puts guests directly within Beverly Hills’ fashion, dining and shopping district.
The hotel combines a strong historic identity with refreshed accommodation and modern resort-style facilities. That balance helps it appeal to guests seeking both a sense of place and contemporary luxury.
Dining and wellness strengthen the stay
The property includes CUT by Wolfgang Puck, a Michelin-recommended steak restaurant, as well as THE Blvd Restaurant overlooking Rodeo Drive. These venues give the hotel a strong dining identity without requiring guests to leave the property.
The Forbes Five-Star Spa and Mediterranean-style outdoor pool add a resort dimension to the urban setting. Together they broaden the hotel beyond accommodation into a more complete leisure experience.
Reader recognition carries particular weight
The Readers’ Choice Awards are based on feedback from travellers rather than an internal hotel rating system. That makes the result especially relevant for guests comparing established luxury properties in Los Angeles.
Repeat recognition can also indicate that service standards are being maintained over time. For a historic hotel, that consistency matters because reputation alone is not enough to secure strong current guest sentiment.
A useful benchmark for luxury travellers
For LYG readers planning a Los Angeles stay before or after time on the water, Beverly Wilshire offers a central Beverly Hills base with established dining, wellness and shopping access. Its location can work particularly well for travellers combining coastal California with a city stay.
The 2026 award gives those travellers another current benchmark when choosing among Los Angeles’ many high-end hotels. It also reinforces Beverly Wilshire’s long-standing position within the city’s luxury hospitality market.
