Braemar Hotels & Resorts Inc. (NYSE: BHR) today announced the rebranding and planned conversion of its Mr. C Beverly Hills in Los Angeles, California to the Cameo Beverly Hills. Beginning August 4, 2023, Cameo Beverly Hills will be available for booking on Hilton's website at hilton.com and join Hilton Honors, Hilton's award-winning guest loyalty program. Following an extensive renovation, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2025, the hotel will join LXR Hotels & Resorts. One of Hilton's luxury brands, LXR is a collection of unique, independent luxury properties around the world that focuses on individualized service and one-of-a-kind stays.
The conversion of the hotel, which was built in 1965, will reflect its unique history and distinctive location in the heart of West Los Angeles near iconic amenities and high-end shopping on Rodeo Drive. The Company is planning an approximately $25 million renovation to further elevate this distinctive hotel that will enable a revitalized luxury guest experience when it is completed. Added amenities and enhanced design elements will include upgrades to the guestrooms, guest bathrooms, restaurant, lobby, pool, fitness area, and meeting spaces.
Remington will continue to manage the property after the conversion under a management agreement.
"The transformation of this iconic hotel fills a desirable niche in the Beverly Hills lodging market," said Richard J. Stockton, Braemar's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We look forward to realizing enhanced financial performance from this property as a result of our significant investment and new partnership with Hilton."
