Marilyn Monroe once called this spot home and Mae West, Lucille Ball, and Desi Arnez were frequent guests of the hotel. Now it's your turn. In 1998, the Avalon reopened after a renovation and makeover by architect Kining Eizenberg and designer Kelly Weastler. Embracing the retro glamour of the 1950's, the chic update enabled the Avalon to offer every modern convenience to its clientele without sacrificing style.
Accents like geometric George Nelson bubble lamps, Eames cabinets, Thonet chairs, Noguchi tables and a figure-eight pool with cabanas for guests make it almost surprising to find dual line phones, a fax machine, modem port, VCR, 27'' television, and full cable access in every room. Spectrums of muted hues accent every public and private space in a soothing and fun manner. Situated one block from Rodeo Drive, guests of the Avalon are in walking distance to the hot shops and restaurants of Beverly Hills and are just 20 minutes from L. On the premises are The Restaurant at The Avalon, a fitness center, outdoor swimming pool, and a full-service concierge. There is nightly turndown and 24-hour room service.
