A boomerang-shaped pool dating from 1949 sits at the heart of Avalon Hotel Beverly Hills, tucked into a quiet residential pocket of Los Angeles. Kelly Wearstler revisits mid-century glamour across 84 rooms and suites with curved furniture, graphic fabrics and a restrained Old Hollywood palette; several rooms add kitchenettes or private patios. Viviane restaurant wraps around the water, joined by cabanas and a compact wellness studio. Mature planting, low-rise wings and the original courtyard arrangement give the hotel the scale and discretion of a small private club.
