Beverly Hills has many mansions through its city. Greystone manor, in Beverly Hills, is the largest mansion that has ever been built in the city. Oil-tycoon Edward Doheny built this beautiful property in 1928 as a gift for his son. The mansion boasts over 46,000 square feet of living space and cost more than $4 million to build.

The mansion has been used over the years for several Hollywood movies including Indecent Proposal, Mafia and The Bodyguard starring Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston. It resembles a modern mansion but has the traditional feel of an old historic castle complete with limestone walls, stone courtyards, and heavy wooden doors.

Even though the home is now empty and closed for visitors, people wanting to get a closer look are welcome to drive through the wrought iron gates and walk the grounds of this beautiful historic Los Angeles estate. Throughout the year some classical (chamber music) concerts are offered, which are held in the large living room of the mansion. For more info on concerts held at Greystone manor, please call 310.550.4796.

The park grounds are open daily from 10am - 5pm and until 6pm in the summer time. As mentioned before, the mansion is not open to the public. Parking is in a free hilltop parking lot, within the gates. There is no admission charge.
