Beverly Center

An  eight-story structure on the outskirts of Beverly Hills and West Hollywood, California, Beverly Center is anchored by: Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s, Banana Republic, Victoria’s Secret and Forever 21. Beverly Center is home to several high-end designer boutiques, such as: Dolce & Gabbana, Louis Vuitton, Calvin Klein, Ben Sherman, Diesel, Gucci, Prada, The Ferrari Store, Burberry, Fendi, Victorinox Swiss Army, and Hugo Boss. 

The mall also has several restaurants including: P.F. Chang’s China Bistro and California Pizza Kitchen. The mall’s Rooftop Terrace offers sweeping views of the Hollywood Hills, Downtown Los Angeles and the Los Angeles Westside.

Opened in 1982 by developers A. Alfred Taubman, Sheldon Gordon & E. Phillip Lyon on the site of a small amusement park known as Beverly Park and Kiddyland, featured a ferris wheel, merry-go-round, and mini roller-coaster, and a pony ride known as Ponyland. Beverly Center’s unusual shape is located on top of the Salt Lake Oil Field. 

The opening of the mall featured a multiplex movie theater with 14 screens. In the late 1980s, three smaller screens were removed so two larger auditoriums could be built on the roof. The theatre closed in 2010.

Beverly Center contained the USA’s first Hard Rock Cafe. Originally anchored by Bullock’s and The Broadway department stores. Macy’s reopened as a Bloomingdale’s in 1997.
