In a major milestone for the ambitious project, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend for approval the luxury hotel development Cheval Blanc Beverly Hills at a meeting on June 13. The project will now come before the City Council for final hearings and approvals at a later date.
The luxury hotel from the French conglomerate LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH) is proposed for the corner of Rodeo Drive and South Santa Monica Boulevard. The spot stretches across four parcels of land: the former Brooks Brothers building, Celine Rodeo Drive, the former Paley Center for Media and the property at 449 N. Beverly Drive. In addition to a 115-room boutique hotel, Cheval Blanc will include LVMH retail establishments, a private club, a spa, and high-end dining venues.
