The Presidential Penthouse Suite at Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills

Why it is on the list

Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills holds the Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star rating, and the Presidential Suite is the largest of its 170 rooms and suites.¹ It takes 3,215 sq ft of the penthouse floor, with a 1,459 sq ft private terrace, floor-to-ceiling windows and Noir Saint Laurent marble floors.² There is a dining room, a fully stocked kitchen, a bar with an espresso machine, a home theatre, a small private gym and a spa treatment room, so a massage or a workout never means leaving the floor; the powder room has its own shower apart from the main bathroom.² Pierre-Yves Rochon designed the interiors.³

It is a new building, not a historic one. For a 1929 Art Deco tower, take the Penthouse Suite at Sunset Tower Hotel instead. For a smaller suite on the same floor, the Governor Penthouse Suite is the hotel's second largest, with a terrace, a dressing room and a powder room.³
