A MOMENT IN TIME
The Beverly Hills Hotel. If it seems like the Beverly Hills Hotel has been there forever, it’s because it has... or at least since the birth of Beverly Hills. On May 14th,1911, the Los Angeles Real Estate section of the Los Angeles Times announced a huge Mission-style hotel to be erected by Margaret J. Anderson in the Beverly Hills area. Anderson had experience in hotel management as the owner of the Hollywood Hotel.

Anderson’s motto was that her guests were entitled to the best of everything regardless of the cost. She fell in line with the Rodeo Land Company’s plan to bring in a new resort hotel. Margaret and her son Stanley had perfected their marketing and presentation to an unparalleled excellence and saw the opportunity to do everything bigger and better at Beverly and own the land, which they did not achieve at the Hollywood Hotel Development.
