If you find that Five
Diamond quality is necessary, what you can expect are
items such as Lexus cars available to guests at the
Peninsula Beverly Hills, a private chef available to
prepare you menu at The Beverly Hills Hotel and Bungalow
(The Hotel California from the Eagles song), private poolside cabanas, spa massages, men's and
women's spa treatments with oils containing precious
metals and gems, golf courses and many things to
pamper, protect and cuddle you in the manner you expect. We've noted on our
Four Diamond page that there's a people's list of hotels
that could easily rank four or five diamond if they
chose to participate in this fee-based AAA (American
Automobile Association) program. Guest rave and line up
to get into hotels such as Bacara in Santa Barbara and
The Montage in Laguna Beach. They are not on this list
but are very nice.
