Luxury bungalow accommodation for twoDinner for two from Marilyn’s Menu, inspired by an interview from a 1952 issue of Pageant Magazine in which she shared: “My dinners at home are startlingly simple. Every night I stop at the market near my hotel and pick up a steak, lamb chops or liver, which I broil in the electric oven in my room. I usually eat four or five raw carrots with my meat and that is all.” She also mentioned ice cream sundaes as an occasional treat. Today, Marilyn’s Menu at the Beverly Hills Hotel includes a Prawn Cocktail, Heirloom Carrot Salad, DiMaggio’s Spaghetti and Meatballs, Grilled New York Steak, and Marilyn’s Ice Cream Sundae. - “Some Like it Hot” bubble bath experience

The bungalows at the Beverly Hills Hotel were first introduced in 1915 as a means to accommodate families who wanted more space and privacy. These bungalows are known for playing host to Hollywood royalty over the years with Howard Hughes spending more than 30 years in Bungalow 4, Lauren Bacall living in Bungalow 10 while filming “Designing Woman” with Gregory Peck, and Marlene Dietrich calling the bungalows home for several years.
Aside from enjoying an indulgent Live Like Marilyn package, the bungalows are an incredible place for out-of-town wedding guests to stay, along with couples who want to relax and unwind with a local “mini-moon” right after their Beverly Hills Hotel wedding festivities are over. Newly restored, the bungalows are the epitome of effortless Californian style with a warm color palette of rust, pink, green, and gold. The furnishings are a blend of Hollywood Regency and 1940’s French aesthetics, modernized by state-of-the-art technology and upgrades. Upon check-in, visitors will understand why Hollywood’s elite never wanted to leave.
