The Polo Lounge at The Beverly Hills Hotel

Located inside of the lavish Beverly Hills Hotel, The Polo Lounge has been a favorite amongst old and new Hollywood stars alike. In its early days, stars including Will Rogers would come to the hotel to enjoy a cocktail after polo matches. This inspired the name of the restaurant, The Polo Lounge, which was bestowed in 1941. Later, the restaurant began to attract Hollywood starlets such as Elizabeth Taylor and also became one of the Rat Pack’s go-to drinking dens. The trend continues today, where handfuls of A-list celebrities continue to frequent The Polo Lounge. Steve Martin and Lorne Michaels have been spied relaxing on the outside patio, while the Osbournes, Heidi Klum and Chris Rock are some other famous patrons to add to the list of The Polo Lounge’s regulars. Part of the thrill of eating inside this iconic restaurant is not knowing whom you’ll see dining at the table beside you. Make your reservation today!
