Los Angeles Travel Answers

I'd go for Four Seasons at Beverly Hills. Great suites with views, library, pool, dining areas, spa, fitness room, etc. www.fourseasons.com/losangeles

^^^that or the Beverly Hills Hotel....

I would add the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills. (peninsula.com/beverly_hills/... If you want something by the beach try Shutters.

I love, love, love Shutters in Santa Monica. It's in a great location and within walking distance of a lot of great restaurants, shops, pier, beach, etc. Their service is amazing, and their spa is EXCELLENT. They have a very nice pool area as well, but it can get crowded on the week-ends.

I too like the Beverly Hills Hotel but would also mention the Luxe Hotel on Rodeo Drive. It is much smaller but a very charming boutique hotel. luxehotels.com/hotels/RodeoD...

The newest hotel in the LA area is the W in Hollywood. I wouldn't say charming but it's probably quite glamorous. I wouldn't mind checking it out myself. It's supposed to have some great clubs where celebrities may be hanging out. The Pantages Theatre is accross the street. A pretty good restaurant called Hollywood and Vine is also across the street. starwoodhotels.com/whotels/p...

The old Bel Age Hotel with an excellent location, right off the Sunset Strip, has been renamed, reinvented, remodeled, and has a Gordon Ramsey Restaurant. Sleek and pampered is the way I would say the looks and the feel are at "The London West Hollywood". See their website: http://www.thelondonwesthollywood.com/

Every recomendation given so far is EXCELENT. My grain of sand is "BEVERLY HILLS PLAZA HOTEL". Its on Wilsher Blvd. (only 4 min. from Rodeo drive and Westwood. Ask for ZAIR CACERES (General Manager) Look them up WWW.beverlyhillsplazahotel.com It is LUX & Charming. (310) 275-5575 #10300 Wilsher Blvd.. If you stay more than 3 days ask for a "COMP"

Indeed! All good choices in the Hollywood / Beverly Hills area. There are a few others though, - The MONDRIAN for instance. Or the L'ERMITAGE, a really fine hotel. The MARQUIS HOTEL & VILLAS, - or the BILTMORE HOTEL downtown, similar to the St Francis in San Francisco. For luxury boutique hotels, there is the LE PARC in West Hollywood, the LUXE HOTEL on Sunset Blvd., - the MAISON 140, a luxurious B&B in Beverly Hills, and the THOMPSON in Beverly Hills, a New York style hotel. You now have pretty much the ultimate list.......d;o)

The Peninsula is by far the best option. Beverly Hills Hotel is a runner up. Pity The Hotel Bel Air is closed for renovations, or that would be a top notch option If you want boutique, I'm partial to The Chamberlain in West Hollywood. I'd stay away from The W in Hollywood, for now. Starwood has had growing pains and service is not where it should be. GC

jw marriot has a brand new hotel right next to staple center. It is nice!!

Go for Four Season hotel. Four Season is an excellent hotel with variety of services at affordable rates. They offers various seasonal discount's also so check it out.
