Louis Vuitton, the French luxury fashion house under LVMH, is set to open a new flagship complex in Beverly Hills at 468 N. Rodeo Drive, which will include both a cafe and a 150-seat rooftop fine dining restaurant.

The new cafe and restaurant will be part of Louis Vuitton’s upcoming experiential flagship, designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry, and are slated to open as part of the project’s broader completion in the second quarter of 2029, according to Beverly Press. The rooftop restaurant will operate on a reservation-only basis and is expected to cater primarily to high-profile guests and VICs (Very Important Clients), while the cafe will be publicly accessible. The dining components will be located within the Beverly Drive-facing portion of the project, which will also house a museum-style exhibition space and a gift shop.

The overall complex will span more than 105,000 square feet across multiple addresses on Rodeo and Beverly Drives. According to city planning documents, the restaurant and cafe were approved as part of a larger conditional use permit granted by the Beverly Hills Planning Commission in September 2025. The rooftop restaurant is expected to host invitation-only events up to 12 times per year, and visitor access to the site will be capped daily.

In addition to the food and beverage offerings, the development includes museum galleries, VIC salons, and a rooftop terrace. The building itself will feature Gehry’s signature reflective metal cladding, echoing his design for the Walt Disney Concert Hall. Interiors will be handled by Peter Marino, known for high-end retail environments.

While the restaurant’s concept and chef have not yet been announced, the project aligns with LVMH’s broader strategy of incorporating luxury hospitality into its retail environments. Similar to LVMH’s Paris and Tokyo flagships, the cafe and restaurant are expected to blend fashion, art, and elevated dining.

This isn’t the first time LVMH has explored food service within a retail space. The company previously launched dining concepts under brands such as Dior and Tiffany & Co., including the Blue Box Cafe in New York and Dior’s Cafe in Miami. The Louis Vuitton location on Rodeo marks the first time the brand will introduce a full-service rooftop restaurant in the U.S.

According to permit filings, parking for restaurant guests will be valet-only, with a designated garage offering 29 spaces. The site will also feature dedicated pedestrian and service access through underground tunnels and elevated bridges between buildings.

“Our experiential flagships are a combination of a retail experience, a culinary experience, and a cultural experience. All of these are brought together in one location for the 468 [N. Rodeo Drive project,” John Mulliken, Senior Vice President of store planning for Louis Vuitton Americas, said to the Planning Commission. “We combined the experiential flagship of Louis Vuitton with the dynamic architecture of Frank Gehry on the world-famous Rodeo Drive, and we feel as though we’re able to create a culturally vibrant destination in the northern approach of the Golden Triangle.”
