The Four Seasons Los Angeles at Beverly Hills might just be the perfect place for your next family vacation.

As much as I enjoy hosting big parties and cooking up a storm in the kitchen, sometimes it’s nice to take a break and celebrate the holidays in style. So this year, we decided to spend our Thanksgiving vacation at the Four Seasons Los Angeles at Beverly Hills.

Now, before you read any further, I know what you’re thinking. How can spending a weekend at a luxury hotel with an energetic toddler be a good idea? Not to mention,  taking that toddler to a lavish Thanksgiving dinner at the hotel’s fine dining restaurant? We had doubts too, but as soon as we entered the stunning Four Seasons Los Angeles at Beverly Hills, we all immediately relaxed.

We couldn’t possibly have felt more at home. At this posh, luxurious hotel, my husband, toddler and I were truly made to feel like part of the family. From check-in (where they greeted Little M with a warm smile), to our room (with a cute crib complete with stuffed teddy bear) to the amazing room service menu (with an entire children’s section that included healthy and delicious meal choices), it seemed like all of our needs had been anticipated.

Speaking of anticipating guests’ needs, the hotel provides a car service to nearby destinations – in a Rolls Royce Ghost of course. And did I mention the spectacular pool? The thoughtful attendants circulated with frozen grapes and chilled cappuccinos, which kept me and my husband happy. Splashing in the pool kept Little M very happy. Needless to say, we were all pretty content spending the entire morning there.

And that Thanksgiving meal at Culina, Modern Italian? We couldn’t have been more impressed! We sampled everything from the sushi to the fresh mozzarella to the turkey and mashed potatoes. But our favorite part was definitely the dessert. Delicious! Or as Little M said when he tried his first-ever cupcake, “more, more.”
