Located on the corner of glitz and glamour


It has been over 20 years since the last time I stayed at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. Mr Dennis Green was the General Manager and Mr. Barron Hilton,Sr. was Chairman and C.E.O. who still had his office in the Century Plaza Business Complex.
One of the perks of working for the Hilton Hotel Corporation was the Comp rooms, short for complimentary rooms that were available for employees. You could stay from 3 days to a week in any Hilton property(even overseas)if you could travel that far.
This would be my first time traveling to California, although I had several childhood friends who lived in the Los Angeles area for almost 20 years this was my first trip to L.A.

Open in 1955 by distinquished hotelier Conrad Hilton, The Beverly Hilton has combined the excitement and entertainment of Hollywod with the prestige of Beverly
Hills for over 55 years. Located at the gateway to Beverly Hills at the intersection of Wilshirre and Santa Monica Boulevards, the 570 room hotel's famed International Ballroom is the centerpiece of the International collection.

Home of many notable annual events including the Golden Globe awards, Oscar Nominee Luncheon and the Milken Institute's Global Conference, The Beverly Hilton offers three multifacted ballrooms, nine additional meeting rooms, an Executive Meeting Center with unrivaled technology by design to make any meeting a success.

Owned by entertainer Merv Griffin from 1987 to 2003, Benny Alagem and Oais West Realty,LLC purchased the Beverly Hilton in late 2003 immediately embarking on an $80 million dollar reinvention ofthe 8.9 acre property. Just as The Beverly Hilton defined luxury living when it open, the newly redefined Beverly Hilton does so once again with the elegance and style considered synonymous with Beverly Hills.

Note: Mr. Barron Hilton,Sr. has founded a charity with the largest individual gift of 2009 for $1.2 billion dollars to provide clean water in Africa, education for the mentally retarded and housing for the blind.
