Best for high-end shopping, a large Forbes Five-Star spa, and a central Beverly Hills location steps from Rodeo Drive.

Best for direct beach access, ocean-view rooms, and being within easy walking distance of Santa Monica Beach and the Pier.
When Beverly Wilshire wins: choose Beverly Wilshire if your trip centers on Beverly Hills’ designer boutiques, Michelin-recommended dining (CUT by Wolfgang Puck), a large award-winning spa program, or a central base for LA city sightseeing.
When Casa Del Mar wins: choose Casa Del Mar if you want immediate beachfront access, ocean or coastal-view rooms, and a relaxed Santa Monica location near the Pier, Third Street Promenade and beachside activities.
Bottom line: both hotels deliver five-star service, but they serve different priorities — Beverly Wilshire for upscale urban luxury, shopping and a major spa; Casa Del Mar for beachfront nostalgia, ocean views and proximity to Santa Monica’s pier and beach.
