Expert reviews
“Rising from the L.A. Live wattage is a gleaming new two-hotel complex, at 900 West Olympic Boulevard. Even the most basic rooms deliver a supreme pampering at the Ritz. The 24th floor is also home to WP24, the celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck’s take on modern Chinese cuisine.”

Other Los Angeles hotels
Hotel Petit Ermitage, Los Angeles
Hotel Petit Ermitage is a whimsical, bohemian sanctuary tucked away on a quiet street in West Hollywood. Far from a typical chain, it serves as a love letter to the arts, featuring a massive private collection of 20th-century works by masters like Dalí and Miró. The property feels more like a private residence than a hotel, with eighty unique suites that feel intentionally layered rather than standardized.
Lonely Planet + 1 more“Bohemian-chic environs with Turkish rugs, old-world antiques, rooftop bars and fine booze set apart this intimate, one-of-a-kind hotel. No two of its 79 suites are the same, but all feature Venetian-style plaster walls, fireplaces and fun minibar snacks.”
Terranea Oceanfront Resort, Los Angeles
Terranea Oceanfront Resort, located on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, is a stunning 102-acre escape that feels worlds away from the bustle of Los Angeles. Opened in 2009, the property sits on a site with a fascinating past. It was once the home of Marineland of the Pacific, a legendary 1950s oceanarium that was essentially California’s first major theme park.
CNN + 3 more“Just south of Los Angeles, atop the Palo Verdes Peninsula, Terranea offers ocean view guest rooms decked out with luxurious perks such as deep tubs and rain showers.”
AKA Beverly Hills, Los Angeles
Aparthotel AKA Beverly Hills is a sophisticated residential retreat located in the heart of the "Golden Triangle." Originally an apartment complex, the property was transformed into a luxury long-stay destination through a collaborative design effort involving firms like Koning Eizenberg and Asfour Guzy Architects. It caters to those looking for a "home away from home," blending upscale hotel services with the comfort of private living.
CNN“A self-described luxury temporary residence, the AKA Beverly Hills offers guests the space and comfort of an apartment, with the service and amenities you’d expect at a five-star hotel.”
Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons Hotel, Los Angeles
The Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel, is a legendary landmark that has anchored the corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Rodeo Drive since 1928. Originally built by developer Walter G. McCarty on the site of a former auto racetrack, the hotel has spent nearly a century hosting Hollywood’s elite, politicians, and travelers alike. Its storied past is perhaps most famous for serving as the primary filming location for the 1990 classic Pretty Woman.
CN Traveler“The Beverly Wilshire is as close to a European grand dame as you’ll find in L.A.—with impeccable service to match. It was good enough for Elvis and the British Royal Family, and exists in triumphant opposition to the informal, minimal lobbies sprouting up across the city.”
