Beverly Hills’ first rooftop restaurant application was approved during a Beverly Hills Planning Commission hearing on Feb. 13. After some discussion regarding both traffic and noise concerns, the commission conditionally approved the Rooftop Dining Use Permit for the Beverly Hills Tower, located at 499 N. Canon Drive. The condition placed on the approval was that live or prerecorded music will not be allowed at the venue.
Previously, the only rooftop dining available in the city was limited to specific types of structures like hotels. Restaurants sit atop several city hotels, including the Peninsula Beverly Hills, Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, the Beverly Hilton, Maybourne Beverly Hills and SIXTY Beverly Hills.
