Fountain Coffee Room

From Marilyn Monroe to Bad Bunny, the downstairs coffee counter at the Beverly Hills Hotel has seen and served them all—and while the classic diner fare isn’t anything special, the Pink Palace’s Hollywood history and old-school feel of the place have long made the Fountain Coffee Room a great place for a destination-worthy L.A. breakfast. In the morning, you can’t go wrong with the famous silver dollar pancakes or a classic eggs Benedict, but locals also swear by the faithful array of no-frills sandwiches and salads well past breakfast time. Of course, given the area code, you can also snack (or sip) on lighter, more health-conscious fare like made-to-order fruit and vegetables juices, a “healthy” basil pesto Benedict and steel-cut oats with seasonal fruit compote. To save some cash, you can park on Crescent Drive just outside the hotel—just keep in mind the two-hour time limit, which is enforced daily from 8am to 6pm.
