I toured Greystone as part of the Sword Experience led by Adrian Paul, and let me tell you--learning blade work on the grounds of one of the most infamous estates in Beverly Hills hits differently. There's something poetic about practicing controlled violence on land once shaped by very uncontrolled wealth. A little history, because this place doesn't whisper--it broods. Greystone was built in 1928 for the Doheny family, oil dynasty royalty. Think: early 20th-century American excess, but make it Tudor Revival and drop it on a manicured hill above Sunset. The house is enormous. 55 rooms. Limestone imported from Indiana. Details that scream, "We had oil money and zero chill." And then, of course, the tragedy. Ned Doheny Jr. was found dead inside the mansion only months after moving in. Official story: murder-suicide involving his secretary. Unofficial story: Los Angeles in the 1920s was a cocktail of scandal, politics, oil contracts, and secrets thick enough to butter toast with. The house was barely broken in before it became legend. So yes--training with swords on those grounds feels cinematic. Because it is. Adrian Paul doesn't just walk you around; he contextualizes movement, presence, and discipline in a space already heavy with narrative. You're not just touring a mansion. You're standing in a monument to ambition, downfall, and architectural flexing. Greystone has since been used in everything from classic films to modern blockbusters. If it looks familiar, it's because Hollywood has been borrowing its drama for decades. It's a location scout's fever dream. The gardens are immaculate. The interiors are grand without being tacky. It's the kind of place where you instinctively lower your voice--even if you don't believe in ghosts, you respect the acoustics. Los Angeles loves shiny new money. Greystone is old money with a body count. And yet, it's beautiful. Stunning, actually. The kind of estate that makes you question your life choices while also appreciating the craftsmanship of a bygone era when wealth was expressed in stone and timber instead of Instagram posts. Walking those grounds with a sword in hand, guided by someone who understands myth and movement, feels like stepping into layered history--cinema, tragedy, power, and discipline colliding under California sun.

Kate Paul is an incredible party director- she comes with a lot of experience and it shows. Not only she has a full book of all the vendors you may need, she is ultra organized and professional! I loved working with Kate! Kate has a lot of great ideas that will help in making your party unique. Her assistant Matt was also very professional and made sure everything was running smoothly during the party. They both delivered a high quality service! All night I was hearing praises from our guests about the beautiful space and well organized party. I'm so glad I found this venue and I will certainly be having more events there. :) Our party was a true success!

After inquiring about this venue online, I was immediately contacted by Kate Paul, who assisted me throughout the entire process of planning my event. In fact, that is an understatement because Kate did more than assist me, and I must say that I would not have been able to pull off such an amazing event without her guidance, support, and assistance. Kate was very knowledgeable about event planning, and since this was the first event that I coordinated on my own, she was thoughtful enough to give me guidance in everything from catering and bar service, to project management and décor recommendations. Kate was indeed my angel sent from the event planning gods; she was very professional, accommodating, understanding, and patient throughout the entire process. As for the venue, it was everything that I could have hoped for! It would be an honor to have the opportunity to host another event at this venue!

Omar and his team are among the best in this business because they truly care and want your event to be successful. They are a literal dream to work with. They offer a beautiful space that can be transformed into just about anything with state-of-the-art A/V systems and screen projections. They are able to offer many things in-house that you would otherwise have to find with outside vendors. Their kitchen is top-notch and the bartenders know how to make your guests happy. They are flexible and easy to work with from the first moment you meet them. On top of all that, their prices are reasonable and the quality you get back is worth what you pay. I am so grateful to Omar and his entire team for being such a pleasure to work with!

There is a large hallway when you enter, then a bar to the left side in a separate room, and I think the women's restroom is across the way. If you kept straight, you enter the large ballroom where there are bars on either side and a stage in front where the dj was. For our particular event, there was a long table set up on the right side for a minimal offering of food while there was random furniture set up throughout the venue along with a couple of photo booths. Considering the previous years party was actually AT work, Candela was a nice upgrade!

Honestly, it worked out perfectly because they had AC and it was HOT in Beverly Hills that day lol. The inside of the restaurant was actually really beautiful too! I loved the decor and the vibe felt way nicer indoors. Looking back, we probably should've just asked to sit inside instead of outside because of the heat The food was oh so so so very good! Everyone in our group enjoyed everything we ordered, from the appetizers all the way to dessert. HIGHLIGHT of our lunch: my husband and I surprised my mother-in-law with a bouquet of pink roses, so we asked the hostess if they could keep it in their cooler room until the end of lunch. After dessert, they brought the flowers out for us and my mother-in-law was so surprised and happy It honestly made the whole celebration feel extra special. Thank you to the staff for helping create such a sweet and memorable Mother's Day moment for our family!

This is not a restaurant or anything but a space you can rent out for events. The space is good for a smaller, intimate gathering of maybe 20-30 people or less. It is not a huge space. There's not really parking in the area so your guests would have to pull up to the valet which is something to consider if you don't want your guests to have to pay for parking. At the event I went to, they had an open bar in the corner and a small table of hors d'oeuvres on the opposite end. The waiters also walked around with more hors d'oeuvres. They put two tall tables in the middle where you can stand with your food. They also have a very comfy couch. The room is on the first floor of the hotel, near where you check in. It was a lovely private space and I would definitely suggest it for smaller gatherings. Lovely service and beautiful food presentation. The event I went to was entirely vegetarian so, they do cater to some dietary preferences.
