L'Ermitage Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills, California, United States · Independent · Grand Luxury
When Severyn and Arnold Ashkenazy opened L'Ermitage in late 1976, named for St. Petersburg's Hermitage Museum, it was the first all-suite hotel in the United States, with kitchens, dining rooms, and art that once included van Gogh and Renoir canvases from Arnold's collection. By the 1980s it was California's only hotel holding both Mobil Five-Star and AAA Five Diamond at once. After Raffles, a Viceroy chapter, and a U.S. government seizure tied to financier Jho Low, EOS Investors bought it for 100 million dollars in 2020 and the property returned to an independent L'Ermitage flag in 2021.

About L'Ermitage Beverly Hills
- The 1975 building was planned as condominiums before the Ashkenazy brothers converted it into an 111-suite hotel that opened as America's first all-suite property.
- A four-year, 65 million dollar redesign kept the hotel closed until 1998, when the Los Angeles Times called the makeover a turn from stodgy hideaway to contemporary luxury.
- Raffles Holdings paid about 68 million dollars in 2000 and ran the hotel as Raffles L'Ermitage Beverly Hills.
- Malaysian financier Jho Low bought it for 46 million dollars in 2010; the U.S. government later seized the asset before the 2020 resale.
- Suites average about 805 square feet, reported as the largest inventory in the Beverly Hills hotel market, across an eight-story, 116-suite building.
