The Pool at Mr. C Beverly Hills

"In fairness, though, it is incredibly close to Beverly Hills and has the feel of some Beverly Hills hotels -- with large chandeliers, black-and-white Hollywood photographs, and a trendy pool scene"

"The lobby is all polished rosewood with travertine marble floors, a grand piano, a glass pool table, and a barkeep in a white tux"

"Private balconies in all the rooms look out onto gardens brimming with California citrus and English roses, while a particularly inviting outdoor pool is supplemented with cabanas, a pristine teak deck, and poolside bar"

"Also of note: a guests-only pool with private cabanas and spa services, a twelfth-floor indoor/outdoor event space with 360-degree views and a glass pool table in the lobby lounge"

"Posh but sleek rooms, buzzy resto and lavish pool scene"

"Get a free drink upon checking into this elegant hotel on the outskirts of Beverly Hills, a mile from Rodeo Drive and operated by the renowned Cipriani family (they also run the in-house formal Italian restaurant), which features European-influenced accommodations equipped with balconies, Carrera marble bathrooms and pillow-top mattresses outfitted in Mascioni linens; the luxury property caters to the suit-and-tie crowd with a business center and free WiFi, and to sybarites with an outdoor pool with private cabanas, a full-service spa and a 1,000-sq"

"With black-and-white photographs of Italian movie stars on the walls, a classic Cipriani restaurant where Hemingway would have felt right at home, and a luxury-yacht–inspired pool deck that only accentuates the feeling of being on vacation, the hotel seems like a dream transformed into reality"

"Meal and drink service is available poolside, and the cabanas are Ferraris of their ilk"

"In summer, movies are screened by the pool"

"A massive pool-deck gives guests the impression that they’ve entered a yacht club"
