Binyamin Beny Alagem is an Israeli-American businessman, business executive, hotelier and philanthropist. He is the founder and former CEO of Packard Bell Computers. Griffin owned the Beverly Hilton from 1987 to 2003, during which time his reputation faded as maintenance was deferred and competition increased. Cain had bigger plans in mind than just owning part of the hotels, given Wanda's desire to sell her property.
To be successful in the long run, it is important to understand the ups and downs of the market and to evaluate your investments over a long period of time. The Beverly One complex was designed by Norman Foster, an English architect renowned for designing the Gherkin in London and Apple's headquarters in Cupertino. The owner's plan was to make the hotel a more affordable four-and-a-half-star alternative compared to nearby five-star competitors such as the Peninsula.
