Cameo Beverly Hills: Unbelievable Star Sightings You Won't Believe!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this review of Cameo Beverly Hills: “Unbelievable Star Sightings You Won't Believe!” is going to be less "polished travel brochure" and more "confessions of a slightly jet-lagged, starstruck, and caffeine-fueled human." I’m dropping the velvet rope and letting you in on the real deal.
First Impressions & Accessibility (The Mundane, but Crucial):
Right off the bat, let's talk pragmatics. Finding it? Easy peasy. Getting in with a wheelchair? They say it's accessible. I didn't personally roll through with one, but the info suggests ramps and elevators are in place. Definitely call ahead and triple-check if full accessibility is a MUST. Because you know how hotels can get… sometimes the "accessible" label is… generous. Internet? They advertise Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! YES! Praise be! (Okay, let me just state it again, Free Wi-Fi!). And it's the good stuff, not that dial-up from the 90s kind. Plus, some LAN options if you're old school. And, oh god, there’s Wi-Fi in the public areas. That's a huge plus.
Cleanliness and Safety (Because, You Know, We Live in a Pandemic):
So, yeah, COVID times. The Cameo Beverly Hills gets points for trying. They have the all-the-bells-and-whistles approach to hygiene: Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer everywhere, Rooms sanitized between stays, Sanitized kitchen and tableware, Staff trained to look like they know what they're doing. They even had sterilizing equipment out and about! But and here's the thing - you can't help but… well, I have a sneaking suspicion, the sanitisation is for show. I assume they're doing things right. I hope they are. But it's hard to shake the feeling that a frantic cleaning crew couldn't catch everything. I, honestly, don't really care though. I take extra precautions. My motto: if I get sick, at least it wasn't from this hotel!
The Star Sightings – The Whole Dang Reason You’re Here! (And My Emotional Breakdown):
Okay, let’s get to the juicy stuff. The stars! The stars! The whole freaking point of this place! And… well… buckle up for an anecdote. I mean, you can't go to Beverly Hills and not expect to be starstruck. I saw… wait for it… [REDACTED - Because I don't want to spoil it. But it was a HUGE star]. Like, a genuine, iconic, cannot-believe-it's-real kind of star. I nearly choked on my complimentary bottle of water, which, by the way, the hotel does provide. I honestly lost the ability to form a coherent sentence. I stammered something about admiring his work. He, being the utter class act he is, smiled, and said something encouraging regarding my outfit. It was a disaster. I was a disaster. Cameo Beverly Hills, you magnificent, star-laden beast, you made me look like… well, a star-struck, stammering fool. They're not lying. You will see stars. And you will probably make a complete idiot of yourself. But it's glorious.
So, What Else is There? (The Rest of the Hotel, Between Star Sightings):
Okay, between near-death experiences of celebrity-induced awe, let's assess the other stuff.
The Room: Decent. Cleanish. The bed? Comfortable. They had the basics: Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Blackout curtains, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Desk, Hair dryer… Frankly, I was too busy mentally replaying my interaction with [REDACTED] to actually notice the finer details. You know that feeling? Everything takes a backseat to the event! But, hey, the Wi-fi was great, even in my star-struck daze. And it's Non-smoking, which is always a win. Room service [24-hour] is a major pro, particularly if you need to wallow in post-star-sighting shock.
Dining (Because Humans Need Sustenance, Even After Seeing [REDACTED]): Okay, the food. My brain may have blocked out portions, but I do recall some of the features. There’s a Restaurant there. More than one, even! They even have a Coffee shop so you can grab a caffinated drink to keep those stars dancing in front of your eyes. A Bar to calm those nervous feelings of what is and isn’t. Poolside Bar for a little luxury. Not sure of the price. I should mention that they have Asian cuisine in restaurant (I love that) and Western Cuisine (That's the main course!). Okay, the Asian breakfast and the Western breakfast for the early risers. There is a Breakfast [buffet] if you're in a hurry. The Coffee/tea in restaurant. The other features of this fine Hotel includes Happy hour, Poolside Bar, Restaurants, Room service [24-hour], Snack bar. The food? Better than airplane food, but not Michelin-star quality. But really, I wasn't there for the cuisine. I was there for the potential of being within a country mile of any number of other fabulous people. Oh, the desserts were pretty good.
Things to Do (When You're Not Spotting Celebs): This is where Cameo shines, and where I was slightly let down. They have the tools! Fitness center, Gym/fitness, Pool with view, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor]. They even have spa treatments like Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath, Massage. It felt a little… sterile, though? The pool area was nice, the water was clear. Some of the other amenities felt a little perfunctory (though let's be honest, my baseline standard for hotels is pretty low).
Services and Conveniences: This place is bursting with this stuff! They have a Concierge, which I didn't test (I'm not sure what I would have asked them!). There's Daily housekeeping which is good! They also have Food delivery and Laundry service. There are features such as Bicycle parking, Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site]. A few more elements are Gift/souvenir shop, Ironing service, Luggage storage, Meeting/banquet facilities, Meeting stationery, On-site event hosting, Projector/LED display, Safety deposit boxes, Seminars, Shrine. Oh, and a Smoking area.
For the Kids: They have Babysitting service, so I'm assuming it's Family/child friendly, and Kids meal. Which is great if you have them, not so great if you're hoping for complete peace and quiet.
The Verdict (After the Dust Settles):
Cameo Beverly Hills is a mixed bag. It's not cheap. It's not perfect. BUT… it delivers on its main promise: Unbelievable star sightings. And for that, it's worth it. The service is mostly attentive, the rooms are comfortable enough, and the location? Unbeatable for the potential of brushing shoulders with the Hollywood elite.
My Emotional Takeaway: I’m still riding high from the [REDACTED] sighting! It was actually… kinda good!
The Negatives: Everything is going to be more expensive than it should. The "luxury" aspects are a bit… standard. There's a slight feeling of being a cog in a well-oiled, but slightly soulless, machine.
The Positives: The location. The STARS! The free Wi-fi.
Final Recommendation:
Book it! If you have a few extra pennies, and you're ready to embrace the slightly over-the-top Beverly Hills vibe, go for it. Just be prepared to be starstruck and maybe, if you're really lucky, make a complete fool of yourself in front of someone famous. You might even bump into me. (If you are, please be kind to my ego).

Okay, buckle up, buttercups. This is NOT your perfectly curated Instagram feed. This is a real-life, probably-slightly-disastrous, possibly-amazing trip to fancy Beverly Hills. Let's do this…
Cameo Beverly Hills - A Trip Soaked in Sunscreen and Existential Dread (Maybe?)
Day 1: Arrival & The Existential Dread of a $12 Avocado Toast
- Morning (9:00 AM): Land at LAX. Okay, breathe. The flight was a hot mess. Little Timmy behind me cried the entire time, and I swear the air conditioning was set to "Arctic Blast." Finding baggage claim felt longer than the actual flight, and the line at customs… don't even get me started. Finally, THE SUN! Ahh… sigh LA.
- Mid-Morning (10:30 AM): Uber to Cameo Beverly Hills. The driver, bless his heart, was trying to make conversation about the "vibrancy" of LA traffic. I was more focused on not puking from motion sickness, honestly. The hotel itself LOOKS amazing in photos. It feels like a movie set! (More like a movie set where I am the extra.)
- Lunch (12:00 PM): The dreaded avocado toast at a local cafe. $12. FOR TOAST. With, like, maybe half an avocado. I'm pretty sure I could make this at home for, like, three bucks. And yet… I ate the whole damn thing. The waiter, bless his heart, seemed genuinely happy to see me. Probably because I looked like a deer caught in headlights. Beverly Hills is a different world.
- Afternoon(2:00 PM): Wander around Rodeo Drive. Okay, so first thought: This is ridiculous. Second thought: Wow, those shoes are amazing. Third thought: I should probably go back to my hotel room. I am not cut from the same cloth as these people. I walked in and out of the shops, overwhelmed and slightly terrified. The sheer amount of money being casually spent made my bank account shudder in fear. I stopped for an iced coffee. It was okay.
- Late Afternoon/Evening (5:00 PM): Check into the hotel. The room is nice.. really nice. The view? Perfection. I unpack and get comfy.
- Dinner (7:00 PM): This is where things got interesting. I'd booked a table at some place called "The Grill on the Alley." You know, the one that's always in those "Best Restaurants" lists? I envisioned a sophisticated, fun, and delicious experience - the perfect way to start my vacation. I got a literal parking ticket when arriving. I had to leave my rental car at the valet. When I arrived, it was a crowd of… well, let's just say the kind of people who actually shop on Rodeo Drive. The food? Overpriced. The service? Attentive to a fault. The steak was good, but not "change-your-life" good. I felt like I was playing a part, a caricature of myself. And, honestly? I kinda hated it.
- Evening (9:00 PM): Back at the hotel. I'm drinking a glass of the overpriced wine I bought off the bar menu. The view is still stunning but I am exhausted from that single day, that was not much. I'm thinking I might just order room service tomorrow and hide in the hotel for a while.
Day 2: Hollywood, Hype, and a Questionable Ice Cream
- Morning (9:00 AM): Sleep in! (Thank God). Order room service (pancakes, naturally). Ignore the nagging voice in my head that says I should be "experiencing things."
- Mid-Morning (11:00 AM): Uber to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Oh, the crowds. Okay, so I knew this was going to be touristy, but wow. Trying to take a photo without getting a stranger's head or a selfie stick in the frame is an Olympic sport. Found my favorite celebrity stars. Found my favorite celebrity. Walked away.
- Lunch (1:00 PM): Eat at a "trendy" restaurant. A burger was served.
- Afternoon (2:30 PM): The TCL Chinese Theatre. This was surprisingly fun! I may have tried (and failed) to put my handprints in the cement. Very very touristy, but the vibe was lively.
- Late Afternoon (4:30 PM): Ice cream. I saw a place called "Salt & Straw." I was in. And the flavors… lavender honey, black olive brittle… it was all a bit much. The ice cream was delicious… but I'm still not sure if I loved it, or was just overwhelmed by the whole experience.
- Evening (6:00 PM): Back to the hotel. I'm contemplating ordering another room service dinner.
Day 3: A Day of Decisions, Maybe Some Regrets
- Morning (10:00 AM): After a late start, I'm still debating what to do today. Should I visit the Getty Center? Should I just lie by the pool with a trashy novel? Should I… (a gasp) find a local coffee shop?
- Late morning/Afternoon:
- Evening:
- Night:
Day 4: The Finale! (Or, at least, the end of the trip)
- Morning:
- Afternoon (2:00 PM):
- Evening (7:00 PM):
- Late Night (10:00 PM):
This is just a rough sketch, you see how that works… In reality, this trip will be filled with detours, spontaneous decisions, and probably at least one dramatic meltdown involving overpriced coffee and the existential dread of a never-ending budget. But hey, that's life, right? And if I'm lucky, I'll come home with some good stories (and maybe a few regrets).
