Pros and Cons -
BHH: The best restaurants in Beverly Hills are located at this hotel (Polo Lounge, Cabana Cafe and Fountain Coffee Room). Very very kid friendly... Don't know where you heard it wasn't. Location wise, nothing is within walking distance because it is north of the Flats, right on Sunset. The heart of Beverly Hills is only about a 5 minute car ride max.

I think it is fair to say that if people come from a walking city, then the BHH is 100% walking distance to the restaurants on Canon, etc in Beverly Hills. It is just not an interesting walk. But from the BHH to Il Pastaio for instance is exactly 1.1 miles - not exactly unwalkable.
