This summer, The Maybourne Beverly Hills is offering a selection of unique California experiences, itineraries, and room packages. Guests and visitors young and adult can indulge in fun new things to do and create lasting memories.

We enjoyed visiting the beautiful hotel for a pasta-making masterclass at the pretty Terrace restaurant. We were greeted with personalized monogrammed aprons, recipes and samples of the pasta we made.  The Terrace Master pasta maker Mauricio taught us how to create squisito tagliarini and the restaurant’s signature corn agnolotti. We then sat down with some of the chefs to enjoy our creations and took some of the extra pasta home with us.

In addition to learning how to make pasta, guests can also enjoy a Cocktail Masterclass and learn how to make lovely libations with Head Mixologist Chris Amirault. Both classic and contemporary mixes are included and accompanied with bar snacks.

There is also a romantic California Picnic where guests are provided bubbles and a picnic basket curated to their favorite foods. They can choose from a bunch of Beverly Hills locations including the pretty Beverly Canon Gardens or the Beverly Hills sign, or venture further to the beach or Hollywood Bowl.

There is also a variety of health based experiences including sound bath healing at The Maybourne Beverly Hills spa, Pilates training, yoga on the hotel’s rooftop and hiking through Runyon Canyon, Griffith Park and other LA favorites.

Children can also enjoy a Maybourne Cookie Monsters experience with the hotel’s pastry team where they can create and enjoy sweet treats.

There is also a wide variety of other experiences to enjoy, including coastal surf lessons, exploring and learning about local vineyards, visiting studio backlots and learning how to create graffiti art.

For guests who book a one bedroom suite under the new Suiten Your Stay package, they will be provided with the option to personalize their visit and select one of eight experiences to enjoy complimentary during their stay. These experiences are also available for guests of The Maybourne Beverly Hills to book individually on their own.

After our experience, we headed upstairs to the 9thfloor to visit the lovely new Dante restaurant and enjoy beautiful Beverly Hills views, signature cocktails and tasty Mediterranean inspired dishes.

The beautiful open space provides majestic views of the Hollywood Hills and has a pretty bird mosaic ceiling, cozy blue round booths and patio green sofas.
