Greystone Mansion

We’re generally not big fans of Beverly Hills, as there are so many more interesting places to go in Los Angeles County, but the city does contain one gem that we truly love. The grand estate of Greystone Mansion is situated in the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains, and is quite a sight to behold.

The park’s most prominent attraction is the Tudor Revival Doheny Mansion, which is generally closed to the public, but visitors are allowed to explore the estate at their own leisure.

Surrounding the mansion are various gardens, fountains, and stone pathways, making it a lovely place for an afternoon stroll.

Perhaps our favorite building on the property is the greenhouse. This weathered structure is a bit secluded from the rest of the grounds and is a great place to explore. We have visited the greenhouse during it’s summer months where it’s filled with plants, and during fall when it’s a bit more abandoned, and we have found it charming in all seasons.

We hope to attend an event inside the mansion someday to get a closer look at its intricacies. I would highly recommend a visit to Greystone Mansion for anyone living in the Los Angeles area, or simply in town for travel.
