The Beverly Hilton Turns 70—and Prepares for Its Biggest Transformation Yet

The Beverly Hilton is turning 70—and marking the milestone not just with Champagne toasts and nostalgic nods, but with the most ambitious transformation in its storied history. A year-long anniversary celebration is already underway, but the real story lies in what’s next: a sweeping, top-to-bottom renovation, first reported by Forbes, that will position the hotel as a cornerstone of the forthcoming One Beverly Hills development.

The multi-phase refresh, scheduled for completion in 2027, will retain Hilton’s mid-century glamour while ushering in a modern era of luxury. The renovation encompasses every touchpoint of the guest experience, including fully reimagined rooms and event spaces, as well as new culinary and retail offerings. The restoration of the legendary Aqua Star Pool, where Golden Globe winners have celebrated in couture and sequins, underscores the hotel’s dual commitment to heritage and modernity.

While the hotel remains fully open and operational during renovations, the updates come with an eye toward Beverly Hills’ increasingly competitive luxury landscape. When complete, the Hilton will sit at the heart of a 17.5-acre urban resort ecosystem that links the property with the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills and Aman’s first West Coast urban hotel, which will include branded residences and a private members club.
