Three hotels were photographed , and the one with The Beverly Hills Hotel was selected as the cover . The photographer shot the image 60 feet above Sunset Boulevard on top of a cherry picker . As the image was taken from an unfamiliar position in fading light , most people did not initially recognize the hotel .
