Why book Cameo Beverly Hills?
Cameo Beverly Hills is worth booking because it takes a well-located boutique with an unusual feature, a private balcony in every room, and gives it the backing of a global loyalty programme. The building on Beverwil Drive spent years as Mr. C Beverly Hills, the Los Angeles hotel the Cipriani family ran, and in January 2026 it reopened as the Cameo after owner Braemar Hotels and Resorts rebranded it into Hilton's LXR Hotels and Resorts collection and put a transformation reported at about 30 million dollars through the property. The design language changed with the ownership: the Italian framing of the Mr. C era gave way to what the hotel calls updated mid-century modern with a dash of deco, all patterned floors, curved seating and marble accents. What did not change is the bones of a small, twelve-floor hotel where every room opens onto its own balcony, which almost nothing else at this price in the area offers.
The case for the Cameo is practical rather than romantic. This is not a landmark address like the Beverly Hills grande dames a few minutes north, and it does not pretend to be; it sits on the quieter southern edge of Beverly Hills, between the shopping district and Century City. What it gives you instead is a genuine boutique feel, a private outdoor space attached to your room, and the ability to earn and spend Hilton Honors points on a Beverly Hills stay, which matters a great deal to travellers who live inside one loyalty ecosystem. Set expectations for a smart, freshly reinvented boutique that is still finding its feet after a full rebrand, rather than a decades-polished institution, and it makes a clear-eyed case at its rate.
What are the best rooms to request?
Request a higher-floor room on the quieter side of the building, and treat the balcony as the feature that sets the Cameo apart. All 138 rooms and suites carry a private balcony, which is genuinely unusual for a Beverly Hills boutique, and the 2026 renovation gave them a coherent look: bold patterned floors, curved seating, marble-topped nightstands and a warm palette that reads as mid-century modern rather than generic contemporary. The categories run from entry rooms up through junior suites to the top-floor penthouse, and the meaningful differences are floor, aspect and the size of the balcony rather than a change of style. The penthouse crown of the building reaches the wider view toward the hillside estates, Century City and the mountains that the lower floors only glimpse.
The honest caveats are worth stating. Because the hotel only reopened in early 2026, the finish is fresh but the operation is new, and a rebranded property can take a season or two to settle its service rhythm, so you may encounter the small inconsistencies of a hotel still learning its own building. The rooms are well sized for a boutique but not vast, and the balconies vary from generous to modest depending on category and position. Book a higher floor away from Beverwil Drive for quiet and light, ask for the largest balcony in your category, and set expectations for a polished new boutique rather than a grand suite, and there is little to fault.
Ask for a high floor facing away from Beverwil Drive for the quietest room and the best light on the balcony. If you hold Hilton Honors status, mention it at booking so any upgrade or amenity is applied, and reserve a table at Zampo for the first evening so you can eat well without driving into the Beverly Hills traffic on arrival night.
What is the dining like at Cameo Beverly Hills?
Dining now centres on Zampo, the hotel's Peruvian-inspired restaurant, which the 2026 reopening built from the ground up in place of the Italian kitchen of the Mr. C years. Zampo serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, so it handles the full day rather than a single showcase service, and the menu leans on the ceviche, grilled and small-plate traditions of Peruvian cooking applied to California produce. The pool deck carries the same design language, blending refined West Coast living with the restaurant's Peruvian accents, which gives the food and beverage programme a single, consistent point of view rather than a set of disconnected outlets. For a stay on this edge of Beverly Hills, having a genuine destination restaurant in the building is a real convenience, since the nearest alternatives all involve the car and the traffic.
Does it have a pool and a spa?
Yes to the pool. The outdoor pool deck is a core part of the hotel and doubles as the daytime social space, styled with the same Peruvian-inflected West Coast look as the restaurant. On wellness, the picture is newer: an intimate spa was part of the 2026 renovation programme, and the hotel runs a fitness centre alongside it. Because the spa arrived with the rebrand rather than with the original building, confirm the treatment menu and hours directly when you book if a spa day is central to your trip. The quietly distinctive wellness feature here is architectural rather than clinical: the private balcony in every room gives you an outdoor space to take a coffee or a nightcap without leaving your floor, which most Beverly Hills boutiques cannot match.

ZampoHow does Cameo Beverly Hills compare with the other Beverly Hills boutiques?
Against the field, Cameo Beverly Hills is the freshly reinvented, loyalty-friendly boutique with a balcony in every room, and the choice comes down to how much polish and pedigree you want. L'Ermitage Beverly Hills is the all-suite Forbes benchmark a step up in price and consistency, the better pick if you want a long-established boutique running at a very high level. Sofitel Los Angeles is the larger French-flavoured option nearby, with a stronger bar and dining scene and a more corporate feel. Kimpton La Peer is the design-led West Hollywood alternative for travellers who want the boutique feel closer to the nightlife. The Cameo's own trade-off is that it is new after a full rebrand and sits on the edge of Beverly Hills rather than at its centre.
| Hotel | Style | Best for | Trade-off |

| L'Ermitage Beverly Hills | All-suite Forbes boutique | Consistency, suites, service | Higher rates, quieter scene |
| Sofitel Los Angeles | French-flavoured city hotel | Dining, bar, meetings | Larger and more corporate |
