About Virginia Robinson Gardens

Virginia Robinson Gardens' Historical Tours begin in the Italianate Style Pool Pavilion, which houses a Sunroom, Billiard Room, and former Guest Rooms, then proceed into Harry and Virginia's home through the Entry Hall with views of the Formal Dining Room, Golden Salon, and Library. Visitors then explore the estate's garden spaces, including the Great Lawn, Italian Terrace Garden, King Palm Forest, Rose Garden, and Kitchen Terrace. Docent-led tours last approximately 90 minutes and require advance reservations. The six-acre property, built in 1911 as Beverly Hills' first luxury estate, sits behind the Beverly Hills Hotel and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The gardens also host classes in floral arranging and wreath making throughout the year. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and bring water; the uneven terrain and historic design limit access for walkers, canes, strollers, and wheelchairs. Children under thirteen must be accompanied by an adult. Virginia Robinson Gardens is located in Beverly Hills, California.
