BEVERLEY HILLS

No visit to Los Angeles is complete without seeing Beverley Hills. Covering a 5.69 sq-mile area, Beverley Hills began its rise to fame in 1919, when Douglas Fairbanks Jr. set up home there. Until this, it was relatively unknown. This set a trend, and Fairbanks was followed by the legendary Charlie Chaplin, Rudolph Valentino and Gloria Swanson.
Beverley Hills is stacked to the rafters with rich and famous folk. Crescent Drive and Wilshire and Santa Monica boulevards and the world famous Rodeo Drive, all form the Golden Triangle. The shopping in these areas is second to none and Rodeo Drive on its own, boasts a three block strip of exclusive designer emporiums. A $200-million fashion retail complex, featuring Via Rodeo Cobblestone Walkway (a smaller version of Rome’s Spanish Steps) and the busiest branch of jewelers (Tiffany & Co.) outside of Manhatton, is situated at the Wilshire Boulevard end.
Contrary to what many believe, Beverley Hills also has a fascinating historical side to it. While there, it would be a shame to miss some sights such as the impressive City Hall, Beverly Gardens and the magnificent O’Neill House on Rodeo Drive
