| The Private Suite |
If you're planning a trip, here's what you don't want to miss in 90210.
1) Travel via The Private Suite
If you're looking for the ultimate A-list getaway, then let the luxury begin the second you land. LAX Airport is home to The Private Suite, a private terminal that allows guests the service, exclusivity and - of course - privacy that typically only comes with flying via private jet. Created to try and discourage the use of environmentally damaging private planes, the Private Suite allows for a seamless airport travel experience, whereby guests are greeted from the door of the plane and driven directly to the terminal, without ever having to see another passenger. Guests are then given their own suite - complete with all the mod-cons you could possibly require - from which they can order food or beauty treatments, or enjoy a glass (or bottle) of champagne. Each client can bring up to three guests, making it particularly popular for celebrities travelling with their families, team or glam squad. The exclusive terminal features an entirely private passport control and security, ensuring absolute privacy from arrival to departure. Gwyneth Paltrow, Chrissy Teigen and the Kardashians are fans.

3) Stay at The Beverly Wilshire, a Four Seasons Hotel
Of course, Beverly Hills is home to many a hotel, restaurant and home made famous on the Hollywood silver screen, and this is part of its appeal; you never quite know when you're going to wander onto a previous film set, or suddenly recognise a location from your favourite movie. The Beverly Wilshire is perhaps best known as 'the Pretty Woman hotel' (which it capitalises on via an excellent Pretty Woman cocktail), the high-end location where Richard Gere stayed with Julia Roberts in the hit film. Naturally, the five-star Four Seasons hotel is also well renowned for its exceptional service and luxurious lodgings, and has been a preferred address for celebrities, royalty and the international elite since its opening in 1928. Located handily at the intersection of Wilshire Boulevard and Rodeo Drive, you couldn't find a better base from which to explore the famed 90210 postcode.

4) Experience gastro-biographical dining at Da Lat Rose
Da Lat Rose is the latest Los Angeles eaterie from Helene An, owner of celebrity favourite Crustacean - which it is situated above. But this isn't like any restaurant you've ever experienced before; Da Lat Rose introduces "gastro-biographical dining", whereby each dish on the 12-course tasting menu represents a different chapter of Helene's life story.

The intimate restaurant only seats 40 so you'll need to book well in advance; this is one dining experience you won't want to miss.

6)Spend an afternoon by the pool at The Peninsula
The Peninsula Beverly Hills is well known for its elegant five-star rooms and contemporary dining, but it's well worth visiting for the pool and spa alone.

7) Explore the Virginia Robinson Gardens
Take a breather by visiting one of LA's hidden gems - the beautiful Virginia Robinson Gardens. Built in 1911, the Robinson mansion (home to Virginia and Harry Robinson of the Robinson department stores) was one of the first ever luxury homes in Beverly Hills, playing host to legendary parties regularly frequented by the Hollywood elite - from Charlie Chaplin and Elvis Presley to Fred Astaire and Sophia Loren. Today, the unique estate hosts private events, weddings, photoshoots and tours of the spectacular grounds; featuring a breathtaking array of flora and fauna. Following the passing of Virginia Robinson, the estate was left to the County of Los Angeles and is now part of the Department of Parks and Recreation. The County, along with the non-profit organisation Friends of Robinson Gardens, works to maintain the estate in the elegant manner in-keeping with the living traditions of the early twentieth century.

8) Visit the world's first vegan Ladurée
Famous French pâtisserie Ladurée has opened a vegan-only outpost in Beverly Hills - the first of its kind in the chain's 150-year history.
