It was May 12th 1912.

She must not have known that the foundation she had laid at that time was actually paving way to become one of the most famous landmarks in the World’s history.

It remains as one of the most swankiest destinations in Southern California.
The hotel which is home to the Academy & Grammy Awards was built for a sum estimated to be around USD $500,000 at that time. Two years after the hotel’s birth, the whole city of Beverly Hills was built around it.

According to several sources, the hotel’s current worth is around a whopping USD $25 million! The hotel remain as a place where celebrities can take a break away from their busy schedule. The hotel is four storied and is surrounded by acres & acres of garden around it. In 1992, the hotel was closed down for a major renovation and was later opened again in 1995.
