Beverly Hills Vacation Rentals

Beverly Hills, California, is where the dreams of the Western world are hatched. Vacation homes in this star-studded area offer world-class art and rich history alongside the glamor of its inhabitants.

Sculpture and tolerance

Why not wander through one of the most comprehensive sculpture gardens in the country? The Franklin D. Murphy Sculpture Garden, on UCLA’s vast campus, features work by Henry Moore, Auguste Rodin, Alexander Calder, and Richard Serra.

Visit the Museum of Tolerance, where interactive technology promotes conversations about racism and bigotry. A special emphasis is placed on the Holocaust. The museum's goal is for visitors to internalize these lessons so that such atrocities aren't repeated.

Arks and celebrity school

Preschoolers can board Noah's Ark at the Skirball Cultural Center, which is also home to the country's largest Jewish museum. Interactive exhibits transport you through 4,000 years of Jewish history. You can also stop by at Beverly Hills High School, whose alumni include Lenny Kravitz, Angelina Jolie, Nicholas Cage, and Richard Dreyfuss.

Children will be wowed by the sheer scale of the billion-dollar Getty Center. It's more than just a vast collection of art, from medieval religious to impressionist works – children love to play among Richard Meier's futuristic architecture and in the spectacular seasonal gardens. Plus, admission is free.

Libraries and artworks

The Huntingdon Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens make for a stunning afternoon out. Approximately 120 acres of themed gardens are yours to wander, and you’ll find Gutenberg Bible-level manuscripts in the library's collection. Round off your visit with a peek at works by Edward Hopper, Andy Warhol, and Frank Stella.

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art is the largest museum in Western America. Here, you can see works by all the greats, including Rembrandt, Cézanne, Magritte, and Mary Cassatt. Delve into Chinese, Japanese, and ancient Roman and Greek art, alongside vast outdoor installations by contemporary artists.
