Best for shopping, large weddings and meetings, and a classic Beverly Hills luxury stay steps from Rodeo Drive.

Best for beachfront stays, easy access to Santa Monica Pier and seaside dining with ocean views.
When Beverly Wilshire wins: pick Beverly Wilshire if you want to be in the Golden Triangle for high-end shopping, need significant event or meeting space (including ballrooms that seat up to ~880), or prefer a long-established Forbes Five-Star spa and a centrally located Beverly Hills address.
When Regent Santa Monica Beach wins: choose Regent Santa Monica Beach if you want to be on the sand, plan to spend time at Santa Monica Pier and the boardwalk, or prefer rooms with ocean or pool views plus direct beach access and a beachfront restaurant experience.
Bottom line: both are five-star luxury options serving different LA needs — Beverly Wilshire for inland, Beverly Hills-style luxury, business and events; Regent Santa Monica Beach for high-end coastal stays and beach-focused leisure.
