Le Palais also known as "The Crescent Palace," is a three-story French chateau-style limestone mega-mansion completed in 2012 by luxury real estate developer Mohamed Hadid just 15 months after breaking ground. It is the 4th largest private residence by square footage in the Greater Los Angeles Metropolitan Area.The 48,000-square-foot, 7-bedroom, 11-bathroom home sits on a comparatively small 1.09-acre lot. The estate was listed at $58 million (USD) and was purchased by the president of Uzbekistan Islam Karimov's youngest daughter Lola Karimova-Tillyaeva. The lot located at 904 North Crescent Drive, was at one time the site of silent movie star Gloria Swanson's estate. She had purchased the 22 room (5 bath) home in 1922 from its original owner, the inventor of the double-edge safety razor, King C. Gillette who had in 1901 founded the Gillette Company in Boston, Massachusetts. The house was a restrained Southern California adaptation of the Italian Renaissance style, with cream color stucco walls and a red tile roof. Much like the current structure standing in its place, the former 2-story house when completed in the early 20th century was one of the largest residences in Beverly Hills. It measured 115 feet wide and 100 feet deep. The lot is located near the historic Beverly Hills Hotel within the famous 90210 ZIP code.Featuring contemporary interiors that include formal and informal dining rooms, family room with lounge bar, library with leather panels all around, 90-foot art gallery, 7 indoor fireplaces, 3 outdoor fireplaces, 20-person spa, outdoor kitchen, professional grade screening room, ball room, 4 rose gardens, indoor pool pavilion, outdoor 60' infinity pool, and a standalone swan pond.

The Beverly Hills Hotel, also called the Beverly Hills Hotel and Bungalows, is located on Sunset Boulevard in Beverly Hills, California. One of the world's best-known hotels, it is closely associated with Hollywood film stars, rock stars, and celebrities. The hotel has 210 guest rooms and suites and 23 bungalows and the exterior bears the hotel's signature pink and green colors. The Beverly Hills Hotel was established in May 1912, before the city itself was incorporated. The original owners were Margaret J. Anderson, a wealthy widow, and her son, Stanley S. Anderson, who had been managing the Hollywood Hotel. The original hotel was designed by Pasadena architect Elmer Grey in the Mediterranean Revival style. From 1928 to 1932, the hotel was owned by the Interstate Company. In 1941, Hernando Courtright, the vice president of the Bank of America, purchased the hotel with friends including Irene Dunne, Loretta Young, and Harry Warner. Courtright established the Polo Lounge, which is considered to be one of the premier dining spots in Los Angeles, hosting entertainers ranging from the Rat Pack to Humphrey Bogart and Marlene Dietrich. The hotel was first painted its famous pink color during a 1948 renovation to match that period's country club style. The following year, architect Paul Williams added the Crescent Wing. The strict resident owner of the Beverly Hills Hotel from 1954 until his death in 1979 was former Detroit real estate magnate Ben L. Silberstein. In 1986, Marvin Davis bought the hotel from Silberstein's sons-in-law Burt Slatkin and Ivan F. Boesky. On December 30, 1992, the hotel closed for a complete restoration, reopening in 1995. Since 1996, it has been run as part of the Dorchester Collection owned by the Sultan of Brunei. Beginning in 2011, Edward Mady has led operations as general manager for the hotel. In 2012, the hotel was named the first historic landmark in Beverly Hills, and two new Presidential Bungalows were added. The song "Hotel California" by the American rock band the Eagles is slightly based on the folklore behind the hotel. The cover of the band's album of the same name features a photo of the hotel itself.

Holmby Hills is a neighborhood on the Westside of Los Angeles, California, United States. The neighborhood was developed in the early twentieth century by the Janss Investment Company, which developed the rest of Westwood as well as other Los Angeles neighborhoods. With the expansion of Sunset Boulevard, Holmby Hills was split into northern and southern sections, each lying within a different community plan area designated by the City of Los Angeles: The portion south of Sunset Boulevard extends south to Club View Dr and east to Beverly Glen Boulevard and west of the Los Angeles Country Club; it is located within the Westwood Community Plan Area, but certain characteristics such as the absence of sidewalks and the presence of historic street lamps that are unique to Holmby Hills help to distinguish it from the remainder of Westwood. The portion north of Sunset is the area east of Beverly Glen Boulevard and west of the city limits of Beverly Hills, with Greendale Drive and Brooklawn Drive as its northernmost streets; it is located within the Bel Air–Beverly Crest Community Plan Area, though it is historically distinct from the neighborhoods of both Bel Air and Beverly Crest, as it was developed concurrently with Westwood.

On the evening of April 4, 1958, 14-year-old Cheryl Crane fatally stabbed 32-year-old Johnny Stompanato, the boyfriend of her mother, actress Lana Turner, at Turner's rented home in Beverly Hills, California. Stompanato, an ex-Marine and affiliate of the Cohen crime family, had been in a year-long relationship with Turner which had been rocky and marked with physical abuse. Crane and Turner alleged that the former had stabbed Stompanato in the stomach when Turner was ushering him out of her bedroom during a violent argument. Crane had heard the fighting and armed herself with a kitchen knife, planning to defend her mother. After Crane turned herself in to police in the early morning hours of April 5, she was interned in a juvenile hall. A coroner's inquest was held on April 11, during which the homicide was deemed justifiable and Crane was exonerated of any wrongdoing. She was released in late April, and placed under the guardianship of her grandmother. Public response to the case was divisive, and numerous press outlets published articles criticizing Turner and likened her testimony during the inquest to that of a performance. Though Crane was cleared of wrongdoing, Stompanato's ex-wife filed a wrongful death lawsuit in June 1958 on behalf of herself and her son with Stompanato, against Crane, her father Steve Crane, and Turner, seeking $750,000 in damages. The lawsuit was eventually settled out of court in 1962 for a sum of $20,000. In the intervening years, Stompanato's homicide has been subject of conspiracy theories that Turner had in fact stabbed him, and that Crane had taken the blame to protect her mother, though Crane has denied this. Stompanato's killing has also been depicted in various media, and was the inspiration for the novel Where Love Has Gone (1962), as well as its subsequent film adaptation. In 2007, Time magazine deemed the case one of the most notorious crimes of the 20th century.
