Spring (March to May): Best Time to Visit Beverly Hills for Ideal Weather

Why locals love it

Spring is widely considered the best time to visit Beverly Hills. Days are warm but not hot, evenings are cool, and the city feels polished and energetic without the peak summer crowds.

Temperatures typically range from 65–75°F (18–24°C), making it perfect for walking, shopping, and lingering outdoor meals.

What to expect

• Comfortable temperatures for exploring Rodeo Drive and Beverly Gardens Park

• Blooming jacaranda trees and manicured streetscapes

• Fewer tourists than summer

• Excellent conditions for rooftop dining and patio brunches

Local tip

Spring mornings are especially calm in Beverly Hills. Head out early to enjoy quieter streets, relaxed shopping, and easier reservations before lunch crowds arrive.

Where to stay in spring

Spring suits central, walkable neighborhoods:

• Beverly Hills for shopping, dining, and iconic streets

• West Hollywood for nightlife and dining variety

• The Flats for a quieter, residential feel

Summer (June to August): Best Time to Visit Beverly Hills for Luxury & Events

Why people come

Summer brings long, sunny days and a lively atmosphere to Beverly Hills. While nearby beaches draw much of the city’s tourism, Beverly Hills itself remains polished and slightly calmer than coastal areas.

What to expect

• Warm daytime highs of 80–90°F (27–32°C)

• Peak shopping season and busy dining rooms

• Higher hotel prices and increased visitor numbers

• Easy access to beach areas while staying inland

Local tip

Plan activities early or later in the evening. Midday heat can make walking less comfortable, but Beverly Hills shines after sunset when temperatures drop and restaurants come alive.

Where to stay in summer

Summer works best in homes with outdoor amenities:

• Beverly Hills estates with pools and shaded outdoor space

• West Hollywood for evening dining and nightlife access

Fall (September to November): Best Time to Visit Beverly Hills for Fewer Crowds

Why locals recommend it

Fall is one of the most underrated times to visit Beverly Hills. The weather remains warm, summer crowds fade, and the city feels calmer and more residential.

What to expect

• Temperatures around 70–85°F (21–29°C)

• Fewer tourists and easier restaurant reservations

• Lower accommodation prices than summer

• A relaxed, local atmosphere

Local tip

October is a standout month. It’s warm enough for outdoor dining and pool time, but cool enough for comfortable walking throughout the day.

Fall is ideal for luxury city stays:

• Beverly Hills for walkability and dining

• West Hollywood for shopping and nightlife

• Los Feliz for a quieter, neighborhood feel nearby

Winter (December to February): Best Time to Visit Beverly Hills for Culture & Awards Season

Why it surprises visitors

Winter in Beverly Hills is mild and elegant. While other destinations cool dramatically, Beverly Hills remains comfortable and culturally rich, especially during awards season.

What to expect

• Daytime highs around 60–70°F (15–21°C)

• Occasional rain, mostly in January and February

• Holiday decorations, seasonal events, and award-season energy

• Fewer tourists outside of late December

Local tip

Pack layers. Afternoons can be warm in the sun, but evenings cool quickly — especially if you’re dining outdoors.

Where to stay in winter

Winter favors central and upscale neighborhoods:

• Beverly Hills for walkability and shopping

• West Hollywood for dining and nightlife

• Pasadena or Los Feliz for quieter residential stays

When to Avoid Visiting Beverly Hills (If You Can)

While Beverly Hills is enjoyable year-round, some periods may be less ideal:

• Peak summer weekends – hotter temperatures and higher prices

• Major holidays (Christmas, New Year) – limited availability

• Awards-season events – busier streets and booked-out dining

If you prefer calm and flexibility, spring and fall are your best bets.

So, What’s the Best Time to Visit Beverly Hills?

For most travellers, March to May and September to October offer the perfect balance of weather, crowd levels, and atmosphere. Summer suits visitors who want long days and access to nearby beaches, while winter is ideal for culture, shopping, and a quieter luxury experience.
