Beverly Hills sits low and flat, so its rooftops trade a skyline for something rarer: an open sweep over palms and red-tile roofs to the Hollywood Hills, with the hotels stacking their best tables twelve stories up to catch it. The set is small and almost entirely hotel-owned, and 2026 reshuffled it, with a Jean-Georges-era rooftop reborn as a Pan-Asian room and the Peninsula's terrace back after a renovation. Here is which roof suits which night, what it serves, and how to book it. Six, ranked on the view, the food and the cocktails together.
1.Gemma
The highest terrace in the city with a Pan-Asian kitchen behind it. Book it for a marquee sunset dinner.
Gemma opened in May 2026 twelve stories above the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills at 9850 Wilshire Boulevard, the highest dining terrace in the city, with a clear sweep across the low-rise streets to the Santa Monica Mountains. Chef Peleg Miron cooks a Pan-Asian menu that runs from lobster wontons with chili ponzu to Maine-lobster Singaporean curry noodles and Japanese Wagyu off the grill. It is the rooftop for a marquee sunset dinner, the highest seat in Beverly Hills with a real kitchen behind it rather than a bar menu.
Book on the Waldorf Astoria site; reserve a terrace table for golden hour.
2.The Penthouse at Mastro's
A rooftop garden over Canon Drive with a serious chophouse below. Book it for a big-night steak dinner.
The Penthouse at Mastro's, the third-floor open-air garden above the steakhouse at 246 North Canon Drive, is the rooftop for a steak night with a scene. The view is the palms and rooftops of the Golden Triangle rather than a far horizon, but the draw is the combination of an open-air terrace, nightly live music and the chophouse below: the bone-in ribeye runs $87 and the seafood tower comes up from the kitchen. It took an OpenTable Diners' Choice award in 2025. This is the big-night booking when the steak matters as much as the air.
Book on OpenTable; request the rooftop garden, not the indoor dining room.
3.Dante Beverly Hills
The New York aperitivo room on the Maybourne roof, with a poolside view. Book it for negronis and a long sunset.
Dante Beverly Hills sits on the ninth-floor rooftop of The Maybourne Beverly Hills at 225 North Canon Drive, the Los Angeles outpost of the New York institution run by Linden Pride and Nathalie Hudson. The draw is the Italian aperitivo culture, a Negroni program and a $10 Martini Hour from three to five, alongside a rooftop pool, cabanas and dishes like pizza bianca and Australian lamb chops. This is the rooftop for a long, drinks-led sunset, where the cocktail list is the headline and the kitchen keeps pace.
Book on the Maybourne site; arrive for Martini Hour and stay for the sunset.
4.The Roof Garden at The Peninsula
A renovated rooftop garden with an outdoor grill and a herb wall. Book it for a polished lunch above the city.
The Roof Garden reopened in May 2026 atop The Peninsula Beverly Hills at 9882 South Santa Monica Boulevard after a four-million-dollar renovation, now a 48-seat dining terrace beside a sixty-foot pool, with palms, jasmine and wisteria as a living wall. A chef grills steaks, fish and poultry to order on an outdoor grill, and the California menu leans on herbs and vegetables grown on the roof. This is the most polished daytime rooftop in the city, built for a long, unhurried lunch rather than a late-night scene.
Book on the Peninsula site; the terrace is at its best for a daytime table.
5.Poza
A quiet hotel rooftop with 360-degree views and market seafood. Book it for a low-key date above the city.
Poza opened in May 2025 on the rooftop of L'Ermitage Beverly Hills at 9291 Burton Way, a calmer, more grown-up terrace than the scene-driven roofs, with a near-360-degree sweep over the low-rise blocks toward the hills. Chef Todd Matthews, formerly of the Pendry West Hollywood, runs a California seafood menu of bluefin tuna poke, a lobster roll and a reimagined Caesar with miso croutons. This is the rooftop for a quiet date or an easy drink at sunset, away from the crowds the bigger terraces draw.
Book on OpenTable; come for the late-afternoon light before the dinner rush.
6.Above SIXTY
A rooftop pool deck off Wilshire, the closest roof to Rodeo Drive. Pull up for pizzas and a cocktail in the sun.
Above SIXTY crowns the SIXTY Beverly Hills at 9360 Wilshire Boulevard, a rooftop pool deck billed as the only al fresco rooftop bar walkable from Rodeo Drive, with panoramic views over the city and a Swarovski-crystal pool at its center. The kitchen keeps it light: artisanal pizzas, salads and shareable plates, with the burrata and prosciutto pizza the one to order and cocktails around $21. This is the most bar-forward pick here, the rooftop for a sunny afternoon drink and a bite rather than a sit-down dinner.
Book on OpenTable or walk up off-peak; the burrata pizza and a spritz do the job.
Avoid for a rooftop night
Looks the part, isn't in Beverly Hills
Videre at the Kimpton Wilshire. It is a fine rooftop, but it sits at 6317 Wilshire Boulevard inside Los Angeles city limits, not Beverly Hills, despite how often it gets listed here. If you specifically want a Beverly Hills address, stay with the roofs above.
The pool-bar-only terraces. A few hotels open the rooftop pool to guests with only a token bar menu and no real kitchen. They are pleasant for a drink, but for a proper dinner with a view, book Gemma, Mastro's Penthouse or The Roof Garden.
Booking a Beverly Hills rooftop
Almost every rooftop here belongs to a hotel, so book through the property's own site or OpenTable, and ask specifically for a terrace or rooftop-garden table rather than the indoor room, since some venues seat both. For a sunset dinner, reserve the early-evening window weeks ahead in the warmer months, when the few outdoor tables go first.
Match the roof to the night. Gemma and Mastro's Penthouse are the dinner rooms, The Roof Garden is the daytime lunch, and Dante, Poza and Above SIXTY lean drinks-and-small-plates at golden hour. These are open-air terraces, so check the weather and the seasonal hours before you commit, and confirm if the booking is à la carte or a set event.
Frequently asked
What is the best rooftop restaurant in Beverly Hills?
Gemma at the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills holds our top spot, the highest dining terrace in the city, twelve stories up at 9850 Wilshire Boulevard. Chef Peleg Miron opened it in May 2026 with a Pan-Asian menu of lobster wontons, Singaporean curry noodles and Japanese Wagyu. It pairs the best view in town with a real kitchen. Book a terrace table for golden hour through the hotel site.
Which Beverly Hills rooftop is best for a steak dinner?
The Penthouse at Mastro's, the third-floor open-air garden above the steakhouse at 246 North Canon Drive, is the rooftop for a steak night. The bone-in ribeye runs $87, there is nightly live music, and the terrace looks over the palms of the Golden Triangle. It took an OpenTable Diners' Choice award in 2025. Book on OpenTable and ask for the rooftop garden rather than the indoor room.
Which Beverly Hills rooftop is best for drinks?
Dante Beverly Hills on the Maybourne roof and Above SIXTY at the SIXTY hotel are the most drinks-led rooftops. Dante runs an Italian aperitivo program with a $10 Martini Hour from three to five and a strong Negroni list beside a rooftop pool. Above SIXTY pours cocktails around $21 over a pool deck off Wilshire. Both lean toward sunset drinks and small plates rather than a full dinner.
Is The Roof Garden at The Peninsula open in 2026?
Yes. The Roof Garden reopened in May 2026 after a four-million-dollar renovation, now a 48-seat dining terrace beside a sixty-foot pool, with an outdoor grill turning out steaks, fish and poultry and a living wall of palms and jasmine. It sits atop The Peninsula Beverly Hills at 9882 South Santa Monica Boulevard. It is at its best for a polished daytime lunch; book through the Peninsula site.
Are Beverly Hills rooftops open year-round?
Mostly, but they are open-air terraces, so hours shift with the weather and the season, and a cool or rainy evening can move service indoors. The hotel roofs, Gemma, Dante, The Roof Garden and Poza, run through much of the year, while the pool-deck spots lean toward the warmer months. Check the seasonal hours when you book, and reserve the early-evening sunset window ahead in summer.
