THE BEVERLY HILLS HOTEL SIGNATURE SHOP – Los Angeles, California. The Beverly Hills Hotel has a storied history as a magnet for movie stars and moguls. It’s also a wonderful place to shop for preppy accessories that will make you look the part. The hotel’s Signature Shop sells classic souvenirs like toys and magnets, as well as artwork and limited edition brand collaborations, like the Linus bicycle sporting the banana leaf print that adorns the hotel’s wallpaper. Plush dog beds, luxurious pink silk pajamas, and beach towels are also for sale, but the true status-symbol purchase here is the Signature umbrella, in the hotel’s iconic pink and green.
