There’s always been something a little mythical about the rooftop at L’Ermitage Beverly Hills. Locals knew about it. Travelers whispered about it. But until now, you had to be a guest to even get close. That changes on May 19, 2025, when L’Ermitage unlocks its penthouse perch for the very first time—inviting the public to dine, sip, and take in Beverly Hills’ only 360-degree rooftop view at two new concepts: The Arhaus Terrace and Poza.
A Rooftop Reborn: The Arhaus Terrace
Think less pool party, more serene salon. The Arhaus Terrace—created in partnership with luxury design brand Arhaus—is a rooftop lounge that trades velvet ropes for sculptural furniture, marble textures, and soft linen hues. It’s calm, curated, and quietly glamorous. Every piece on the terrace comes from Arhaus’ Outdoor 2025 Collection, and it shows. Oversized armchairs. Low-profile sectionals. Tables meant for conversation, not just cocktails.
This isn’t just design—it’s intention. From morning light to golden hour, this rooftop is built for everything from private gatherings to low-key afternoons spent with a chilled glass of rosé and a friend who knows how to keep a secret. The space flows like a residence, not a restaurant—and that’s the L’Ermitage way.
Poza: The Lounge That Redefines Rooftop Dining in L.A.
Poza (Spanish for “pool”) feels like a love letter to California. Executive Chef Todd Matthews brings the kind of culinary credentials that matter—Pendry West Hollywood, Mondrian New York—and a menu that balances luxury with ease. The bluefin tuna poke is clean and bright. The lobster roll hits with just enough citrus and crunch. The Brussels Caesar with miso croutons? Bold, clever, and more satisfying than it has any right to be.
But it’s not just what’s on the plate. The drinks hold their own. Highlights include:
Burton Sunset Spritz: St. Germain, blood orange, and raspberry boba—yes, boba, but make it chic
The 1975: a tropical nod to the hotel’s founding year
Marilyn Spritz: a golden-age prosecco cocktail
Poza sits poolside but doesn’t play second to the water. It’s the kind of place where Beverly Hills deals could unfold at noon, and friends could gather by twilight for spritzes and sushi with the skyline in full view.
Design, Detail, and a Little Discretion
You don’t stumble into L’Ermitage Beverly Hills—you seek it out. Known for its residential feel, ultra-private service, and refined energy, the hotel has always operated like the city’s best-kept secret. But with this rooftop debut, that discretion now extends to something more inviting—a sanctuary in the sky where elegance is measured not in excess, but in detail.
Even the name Poza feels deliberate. It’s rooted in water, yes, but it’s also about stillness, reflection, and luxury without loudness. The whole experience—furnished by Arhaus, flavored by Matthews, framed by hills—is about what happens when you remove the noise and let the setting speak for itself.
