We walked there, which was a bit of a hike from the Beverly Hilton, but it was cool to see all the beautiful houses on the way. When we got there, we couldn't go into the mansion because of a private function, and if you can't go in, it's not worth going.
As an LA native I may be biased, but truly this is one of my favorite places in the world. The history, architecture,and manicured grounds make it a truly magical place.
The food is good and the atmosphere is excellent, with service staff is very attentive and never let me look for them, some one is available all the time. I advise to visit them to experience yourself
Having not been fully aware of Greystone Mansion, it's relevance to the film industry and it's history, we visited after a friend's recommendation. An excellent morning was had at the site and we had the good fortune to meet a Beverly Hills City Ranger on site. Thumbs up all round for the courtesy and assistance received by the city employees and the whole experience. Would recommend it to anyone visiting Beverly Hills.
This is a nice area to walk around in. The mansion is not open except for prearranged tours, which are not free. The outdoor grounds, however, are free. The view is very pretty and this is a nice way to get some exercise. Public bathrooms are available but there are no options for food/drinks. I would not call this one of the top attractions in LA, but it's worth doing if you have a car and some extra free time.
Was lucky enough to be able to view and roam the hallways of this fantastic estate. Absolutely amazing without question. A must see.
Our tour person recommended we at least stop in - he told of the fascinating history and toured us around the outside. Would have loved to spend more time & see the inside
You must visit Greystone Mansion. We walked there and it was great exercise. It's in the middle of a fabulous residential area full of mansions. The Bodyguard used the outside for some movie shots. A must do in a Beverly Hills as the mansion grounds are full of mystical beauty and grandeur.
First I must say that I love old houses, almost any old house. Of course mansions are a particular favorite. Grey stone mansion was not a disappointment. My husband and I took a private tour of the property and house. Daniel, the park ranger, was very knowledgable and was kind enough to put up with all my questions. It is a beautiful house. I am so pleased the city chose to keep it and continue to restore and care for it. Interior details are not to be missed.
We are not usually visitors of these type of places,but our driver said we should stop and have a look. Glad we did,amazing architecture with a long and varied history, before it ended up in the possession of LA. Features in many films and is Bruce Wayne's house in Batman, with the Batlight still up on the chimneys.
