Full-Service Hotel or Extended Stay? Your Guide to Finding
the Right Accommodation in Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills welcomes visitors from around the world and for those planning a stay in the city – whether it’s business, leisure or hosting out-of-town guests – selecting the right accommodation is key to ensuring a memorable visit. Should you opt for one of the city’s full-service luxury hotels or an extended-stay property? While both offer distinct advantages, understanding the difference can enhance your Beverly Hills experience.
What is a full-service hotel?
Whether it is an upscale or boutique experience you are seeking, full-service hotels are most often selected for stays of less than 30 days for family trips, business stays and short term leisure vacations. Some of our popular full-service hotels in the city include The Beverly Hilton, L’Ermitage Beverly Hills, Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, Avalon Beverly Hills and SIXTY Beverly Hills.
At these hotels, you’ll find amenities and services that will make you feel like a true pampered guest throughout your stay.
- Luxurious Ambiance: From renowned boutique hotels to iconic landmarks, each property exudes its own distinct charm and allure, captivating guests with its sophistication and style.
- On-site Services and Amenities: Guests have access to a plethora of on-site amenities and services, including fine dining restaurants, spectacular pools, rejuvenating spas and exceptional room service.
- Concierge Services: The concierge staff are adept at curating bespoke experiences tailored to each guest's preferences and are there to help you create a once-in-a-lifetime vacation.
What is an Extended Stay Hotel?
While you can stay as long as you desire at a full-service hotel, extended-stay properties are there to help you live like a local. Similar to the luxury and boutique hotels, Beverly Hills’ only extended-stay property, AKA Beverly Hills, offers access to local and on-site amenities in spacious, apartment-like accommodations for those seeking a 7-night stay or longer.
The unique features of an extended-stay property include:
- Gourmet Kitchens: While you are welcome to dine in with in-room selections from Wolfgang Puck’s Spago or enjoy priority resident seating at the restaurant, you also have the flexibility to prepare meals at your leisure with these fully equipped kitchens.
- Spacious Comfort: At 1055 sq. ft, their entry level one-bedroom suites will have you feeling right at home as you stretch out and relax. Travelers maintain a sense of privacy thanks to the separate living and sleeping areas in an extended-stay suite. For those seeking maximum privacy, the fully furnished townhomes allow for full use of property amenities while providing a private entrance.
- Upscale Amenities and Services: From instructor-led yoga sessions to a sophisticated fitness center with top-line equipment to private screenings at the on-site cinema, the amenities at AKA Beverly Hills are designed for an exclusive and welcoming experience. And if you’re traveling for professional reasons, AKA Beverly Hills has you covered with their business center, complete with Mac workstations, laser printing and copy/fax services.
When it comes to extended stays, AKA Beverly Hills caters to everyone from A-List celebrities in town for filming and C-Suite executives on business to international travelers seeking a “home away from home.”

Whether you're visiting for business, leisure or an extended exploration of the city's charms, Beverly Hills' range of hotels provides a personalized and awe-inspiring stay.
