Greystone Mansion & Gardens: The Doheny Estate

"Greystone Mansion offers a serene escape from the bustling city life of Beverly Hills. The clean kept grounds create an ambiance reminiscent of strolling through a castle, with picturesque views in every corner. The tranquility of the surroundings makes it a delightful getaway, which invites anyone to unwind and enjoy its beauty."

"Fresh air, flowers, and a Zen vibe. We enjoyed our visit. The water lilies were blooming, and lots of flowers on the hillside and all around. There are bathrooms by the Courtyard. Easy, free parking. European vibes."

"The Doheny Estate is a Beverly Hills and Los Angeles treasure. The City of Beverly Hills purchased the property in 1965, and in 1971 the entire 18.3 acre site was formally dedicated as a public park. Greystone was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 and in 2013 was designated Beverly Hills Local Historic Landmark. Greystone Mansion & Gardens is a popular event site for weddings, corporate events, and photo shoots. Greystone has been featured in dozens of films, including The Big Lebowski, Spider-Man, The Social Network, and There Will Be Blood and many others. To visit the mansion is free through the outside only from 10am to 5pm every day. If you want to see Inside the Mansion you need to reserve online and is only monthly only. Do you reservation ahead of time. Parking is free and have restrooms."

"There is no admission charge or parking fee to visit the mansion grounds thereby making it cheapskate friendly. Unless you are an aficionado of gardens or mansions, it is not a destination onto itself, but it is an easy add-on to your visit to Beverly Hills. Entry inside the mansion itself happens only one weekend each month for a modest fee, so plan accordingly. Touring the grounds involves steep and long stair climbing and will challenge those with mobility issues."
