Beverly Hills, CA — Just like everything else in Tinseltown, the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel bungalows are getting a face lift.
The "home away from home" for Hollywood royalty is undergoing a comprehensive restoration and redesign. The internationally renowned firm, Champalimaud Design, was selected to oversee the makeover, which is expected to complete in 2018.
The makeover is slow moving to minimize disruptions and inconvenience to guests at the hotel.
