Best time to visit — month-by-month guide
Best time to visit Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel depends on what you want: for warm, pool-friendly weather and the liveliest shopping/dining scene, visit June–August; for mild weather, thinner crowds and lower rates, choose spring (March–May) or fall (September–November). Winter (late November–February) is the quietest, coolest, and rainiest time, useful if you prefer spa time, museum visits and holiday decorations.

Winter (December–February): quieter, cooler, good for spa and city outings
December through February are the coolest and wettest months in Beverly Hills. Average highs are in the mid-60s°F with cooler nights, and rain is more likely than in other months.
If you prefer quieter hotel public areas, easier restaurant reservations at CUT by Wolfgang Puck or THE Blvd, and time in The Spa at Beverly Wilshire, this season suits you. The Spa is open Monday–Thursday 10:00 am–7:00 pm and Friday–Sunday 9:00 am–7:00 pm.
- Pool is open year-round, but outdoor time can be cooler — the pool is open daily from 6:30 AM to 5:00 PM.
- Hotel dining and lounges (CUT by Wolfgang Puck, THE Blvd, CUT Lounge, Pool Bar & Cafe) operate year-round — check individual venue hours before visiting.
- Good choice for museum days (LACMA, Academy Museum) and gift-shopping on Rodeo Drive with fewer crowds.
| Considerations | Why winter? |
|---|---|
| Quieter hotel and city | Lower daytime crowds and easier dining/reservations |
| Spa treatments | Forrest Five-Star Spa open with weekday and weekend hours |
| Cooler weather & occasional rain | Milder outdoor time; plan indoor activities |
Spring (March–May): mild weather, fewer crowds — an all-round best bet
Spring brings mild temperatures and drier weather compared with winter, making it a good balance for walking Rodeo Drive, visiting nearby museums, or taking short drives to Santa Monica. Many guides recommend March–May as a prime shoulder season.
Hotel facilities are fully available and outdoor spaces are pleasant. Poolside service and cabanas are available year-round; daytime weather in spring is typically comfortable for both pool and city activities.
- Beverly Hills Art Show typically takes place in May (check exact dates).
- Easier access to THE Blvd terrace overlooking Rodeo Drive for breakfast or lunch.
- Good time to book suites like Suite, 1 Bedroom (Rodeo) or Suite, 1 Bedroom (Wilshire) for quieter streets and pleasant views.
| Spring perks | Who it's best for | What to book |
|---|---|---|
| Mild, drier weather | Shoppers & museum-goers | Signature Room, Balcony or Studio Suite (Rodeo View) |
| Shoulder-season rates often lower than summer | Couples and families avoiding peak crowds | Suite, 1 Bedroom, Corner for extra space |
| Events like the art show | Visitors who want local culture | Ask concierge about event timing |
Summer (June–August): warmest and busiest — pool and shopping season
June through August is the warmest part of the year, with August typically the hottest month. This is the peak tourist season in Beverly Hills, so expect higher hotel occupancy and busier restaurants and shops.
The hotel’s Mediterranean-style outdoor pool is open year-round and will be most attractive in summer. Poolside cabanas and Pool Bar & Cafe service run daily; Pool Bar & Cafe hours are 11:00 AM–5:00 PM.
- Expect higher rates and fuller restaurants (CUT by Wolfgang Puck and THE Blvd). Reservations for dinner are recommended.
- If you need quick access to shopping, the hotel is a 1–2 minute walk to Rodeo Drive.
- Book early for popular room types if you want a balcony or Rodeo views (Signature Room, Balcony; Studio Suite (Rodeo View)).
| Summer tips | Action |
|---|---|
| Reserve CUT by Wolfgang Puck early | Use OpenTable or concierge |
| Pool cabana availability | Book in advance through concierge |
| Higher demand for suites | Book Suite, Balcony (Beverly) or Suite, 1 Bedroom (Wilshire) early |
Fall (September–November): mild, fewer crowds and good value
Fall is a shoulder season similar to spring: mild temperatures, generally dry conditions, and fewer tourists than summer. September and October often offer warm days and comfortable evenings.
October often hosts a second Beverly Hills Art Show; scheduling a stay during early fall can combine pleasant weather with local events while avoiding peak summer crowds.
- Good balance for outdoor meals on THE Blvd terrace and evening drinks at CUT Lounge.
- Consider Suite, 1 Bedroom, Corner or Suite, Corner (Beverly) for larger living areas and quieter street views.
- Easier valet and dining access than peak summer months.
| Fall benefits | Who benefits |
|---|---|
| Mild evenings and lower crowds | Couples and shoppers |
| Good value on rooms and suites | Families seeking space (Suite, 1 Bedroom) |
| Event timing (art show in October) | Culture-minded visitors |
