The Beverly Wilshire Hotel has mapped out a two-month holiday calendar with New Year's Eve tickets reaching $495 a head. The schedule runs from the Nov. 19 Rodeo Drive lighting celebration through a Jan. 1, 2027, jazz brunch tied to the property's 99th anniversary.

The hotel, which sits at the corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Rodeo Drive, laid out the full lineup in a press release. The programming spans Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.

Rodeo Drive opens the season

The season begins Thursday, Nov. 19, when the Rodeo Drive Holiday Lighting Celebration runs from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. The event, free and open to the public, carries the theme "50 Years of Brilliance." It marks five decades of the Rodeo Drive Committee's stewardship of the street.

Beverly Hills Mayor Craig Corman said the celebration "has become a cherished tradition for our community and visitors from around the world."

The evening ends with a fireworks finale after the mayor, City Council members and the Rodeo Drive Committee Executive Board push the lighting button. Back at the Beverly Wilshire, the Good Shepherd School children's choir will perform carols in the main lobby at 5:30 p.m.

Thanksgiving through Christmas

THE Blvd, the hotel's all-day restaurant overlooking Rodeo Drive, hosts a three-course Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday, Nov. 26, from noon to 9 p.m. The price is $195 per adult and $65 for children ages 6 to 12. Live music runs from noon to 4 p.m., and a poet will turn guests' reflections into personalized verse.
