Avalon Beverly Hills
Hidden down a tree-lined street, this hotel’s three separate buildings are all decorated in quirky, Nixon-era style: Lucite tables in the curvilinear lobby, rosewood and bamboo accents in all 84 rooms, and enough Eames-style chairs and modern light fixtures that you won’t need to visit L.A.’s Architecture and Design Museum. The aesthetic, with its palette of sea green, khaki, and slate, is charming enough—but since designer Kelly Wearstler’s team was recently spotted walking around the property, an impending facelift seems likely.
