The Beverly Hills Hotel prices: a night month by month, and the tax on top

A calendar price is the lowest Google showed for that night. Google says neither which room it buys nor whether tax is inside. For the night of 12 October 2026 the seller list answers the second question: the link Google marks as the hotel’s own and Booking.com both stood at $1,510, and the parameters of Booking.com’s link give $235.06 of tax on top, $1,745.06 in all. The lowest figure, $1,358, was Super.com’s, whose link carried an all-inclusive price of $1,569.44; Expedia and Hotels.com showed $1,513 and Trip.com $2,045.

The year is flatter here than at most hotels. In 9 of the 12 months the median night falls between $1,060 and $1,140: $1,136 in what remained of October 2026, $1,060 in December, $1,075 in January 2027, $1,099 in March, $1,137 in April, $1,071 in May. Of the 318 priced nights, 195 stood between $1,000 and $1,199. Summer is a step up. On 8 July 2027 the calendar showed $1,025, on 9 July $1,447, and from then until 21 August none of the 41 nights came below $1,338, the figure on 24 of them. On 22 August it was back to $1,019. The medians and counts are ours, worked on the calendar read on 11 October 2026.

The peaks are short, and most stand beside nights for which Google had no price. The highest of the year was $3,500 for 14 October 2026, followed by $1,963 and $2,158 on the 15th and 16th, with nothing for the 17th. The calendar gave $1,985 and $2,400 for 4 and 5 November; $1,924 for 6 February 2027 and $2,045 for the 10th, then no price from 11 to 14 February; $2,172 for 14 March after 2 nights without one; and $2,500, $2,900 and $2,400 for 1, 4 and 5 May, with 2 and 3 May empty. The other nights without a price were 12 to 14 August and everything from 7 September 2027. Google gives no reason for a peak or a gap.

The hotel’s own reservations engine names the room and prints 2 rates. For 28 November 2026 a Superior Room was $920 on Plan in Advance, prepaid and non-refundable, and $1,150 on the Daily Rate, which can be cancelled until noon the day before arrival. For 8 December the same pair was $924 and $1,155. Google’s lowest for those 2 nights, $878 and $887, was under both. For 15 July 2027 the engine offered no prepaid rate: the Superior Room was $1,625 on the Daily Rate and $1,665 with a $95 breakfast credit, against $1,338 on Google. Every figure on the engine is marked «Excluding taxes and fees».

Now the tax. The terms of the hotel’s offers list 4 rates: a 14% city occupancy tax, a 1.2% city business tax, 0.168% of occupancy tax on that business tax and a 0.195% California tourism assessment. Added together, by our arithmetic, they make 15.563%: on the $1,155 Daily Rate of 8 December, $179.75, or $1,334.75 for the night. It is the proportion of 12 October, when the hotel’s link carried $235.00 of tax on $1,510 and Booking.com’s $235.06. The hotel’s overview page gives another figure, a combined tax of 15.82% a night. A car adds parking: «from $75 per day» on that page, while the rooms page answers that overnight valet parking is $70 a day. Breakfast is ordered from the menu.

We had read 14 of these nights a week earlier, on 4 October. The October peak had come down: 14 October stood at $5,700 then and $3,500 on 11 October, and 17 October, $6,400 on the first reading, had no price on the second. Elsewhere the moves were small and went both ways. The night of 28 November fell from $894 to $878 and 20 February 2027 from $1,059 to $951; 3 January rose from $992 to $1,133 and 18 April from $988 to $1,141.

On Google, guests who write about money mostly write about breakfast. One, in June 2025, had booked through Booking.com and was charged $600 for breakfasts at check-out, a charge that guest says the booking never mentioned. Another, in November 2025, warned readers to «expect to pay premium for everything» and found breakfast overpriced, yet would stay again. A reviewer of April 2026 called the hotel «on the pricier side» and «completely worth it for a special occasion».

On the 2 winter nights Google’s lowest figure undercut the hotel’s prepaid rate by $42 and $37, and its flexible rate by $272 and $268. In July the gap to the Daily Rate was $287. Google does not say which seller stood behind those 3 figures, nor which room.

The last row is the one night whose sellers Google listed: there the hotel and Booking.com asked the same.
