In Beverly Hills, art glimmers above a hotel lobby desk and stretches across restaurant walls. Within the city’s storied hotels, museum-caliber works live not only in galleries but in vibrant public spaces, woven into the guest experience. From chandeliers and surfboard sculptures to pop art icons and contemporary murals, these hotels prove that some of the city’s most extraordinary collections are hiding in plain sight.
Beverly Wilshire, Beverly Hills, A Four Seasons Hotel
At Beverly Wilshire, Beverly Hills, A Four Seasons Hotel, art begins the moment guests enter the lobby. A dramatic 720-pound crystal chandelier from the Czech Republic scatters light across the room, hovering above a custom-made walnut and Calacatta Borghini marble center table by William Switzer. Nearby, Jason Young’s acrylic glass panels play with illusion through trompe-l'œil techniques.
The artistic dialogue continues at CUT by Wolfgang Puck, where pieces from John Baldessari’s W/Studio 54 Series made with archival lightjet print laminated with lexan and mounted on dibond, acrylic paint. These pieces from Wolfgang Puck’s personal collection bring bold glamour to the dining room. Petit CUT, the private dining room at CUT, features Ed Ruscha’s He Wears An Anodized Uranium Business Suit alongside striking Martin Schoelle's celebrity portraits of Brad Pitt, Denzel Washington, Anne Hathaway, Lionel Messi, Cate Blanchett, and Wolfgang Puck's 2009 portrait at the entrance of the restaurant. Inside CUT Lounge by Wolfgang Puck, works by Robert Rauschenberg introduce industrial texture with Wall Safe Glut, made out of aluminum and stainless steel, while Palm Sunning (Phantom Series) is acrylic on mirrored aluminum.

At The Peninsula Beverly Hills, art adorns the walls of The Belvedere restaurant and diners are immersed into a creative experience. 11 breathtaking works by acclaimed artists, including Alex Katz, Sean Scully, Donald Sultan, Yayoi Kusama, Josef Albers, Nancy Graves, Robert Indiana, and Fabienne Verdier, fill the space.
The private dining rooms are a feast for the eyes, too, with Donald Sultan's Poppies; Big Red, Poppies; Big Blue and Poppies; Big Yellow. These three pieces are color silkscreen with flocking and tar-like texture on white 4-ply museum board, each measuring 60 in x 60 in. In the second private dining room, Nancy Graves' two watercolor paintings, Klite and Wooze face each other in the intimate space.
Did you know? Lincescape I and Linescape II created by contemporary French painter Fabienne Verdier, were specially commissioned for the hotel. The masterpiece was created with a brush made of 35 horse tails to apply art pigments and varnish on canvas, and hangs on both sides of the restaurant's entryway.
