Kimpton Hotel Wilshire, Los Angeles
Expert reviews
“Smack in the middle of a pedestrian strip of Wilshire Boulevard, adjacent to Beverly Hills, sits the newly opened Hotel Wilshire. The block isn’t the sexiest, but the glass facade of this environmentally sustainable boutique property goes a long way toward classing up the area.”

Great staff, no step-in shower.
The staff was great, friendly, responsive, always ready to help. They truly set the tone and made our stay memorable. The rooftop was a great place to hang out, nice views. We appreciated the umbrella, robes, and yoga mat. An honor fridge is stocked with beer, wine, and snacks. No in-room coffee, but it is always available downstairs, along with tea and an espresso machine.
There was no step-in shower, though one is pictured for our King room with Hollywood Hills view. The big tub had a thigh-high rim, climbing in was awkward, even with the grab bar. If you want a step-in shower, be sure to ask! The room overall was on the small and efficient side, but the bed was comfortable.

A Nice, convenient hotel.

The Covid rules in effect limited housecleaning and breakfast accessibility. perfectly understandable and not complaining just observing.

You get what you Pay for.
I was both relieved and happy that pets were accommodated. I had a 3mth old puppy traveling with me and the staff was amazing with her. The room was on the 3rd floor, petite, cute, and had everything Bella & I needed. The fridge, extra-large walk-in shower, the cozy bed, and space for my 2 large suitcases. The hotel has a rooftop bar and pool to relax and have a drink after a long day. The grab-and-go pre-made bags of ice were a first to see, once you exit the elevator was a small freezer. The small cups of coffee available in the lobby every morning were convenient and appreciated. I'll be visiting this hotel again due to its location, cleanliness and tucked away coziness,
On the 1st night, the fire alarm went off. But only for a moment then ceased. The following night the alarm continued blaring repeatedly I phoned downstairs and the night attendant wasn't so pleasant. She seemed quite irritated but it wasn't an emergency situation thank goodness. As a guest, I didn't find it appealing to charge overnight guests $40+ a day for parking, maybe $20.

Everything was above average but nothing was great.
Location was very good. Staff was knowledgeable and friendly.
No coffee maker in room. Had to ask for fresh towels for 2nd night. Apparently I was supposed to ask ahead of time to have room made up for 2nd night. Housekeeping seemed a bit lax as I saw towels piled up on hall floor a couple of times. Have stayed in the hotel twice before Kimpton takeover but did not notice any impact by Kimpton this time.

Just a short walk from the Oscar's Museum and Car Museum.
The room setup was nice, the patio onto the room gave lots of room. Didn't even use the patio much. Hallways always smelled like flowers. Rooftop restaurant was beautiful and amazing service all over hotel.
You pay for your great location, so it was a bit pricey. There is always an extra line to add tip for LA restaurants like this one,but close to 20% is always already charged, not obvious in the bill. So often you unknowingly add more tip. Lucky a server circled the included tip part to show us, or we wouldn't have realized as early as we did.

I would rate it fair.

The worst hotel I’ve ever been in. Do not stay here.!!
Absolutely nothing it was the worst hotel ever
The staff was rude , the housekeepers are noisy. ,The beds are uncomfortable, and they don’t care about you as a guest do not stay at this hotel. They have a manager name Cesar, who is unprofessional and will make your stay miserable

Extremely convenient and confortable location in LA if you are interested in museums and shopping
Location was strategic within the Miracle Mile in LA. Roof restaurant with swimming pool and a view was fantastic. Availability of parking (and parking package) was a bonus.
Choice of dishes at the restaurant and for breakfast could be improved

Terrible. No pool time, no bar time, extra time in Ubers getting to my work location.
My reservation was switched to another hotel at the last minute. I lost the desired location and amenities which caused me extra travel and time lost.
Being moved to another hotel against my wishes.

not bad but would probably go to a different hotel with better value next time
good bathroom
bed mattress felt cheap for a hotel and i dont think the overall stay was worth the price

nice hotel but needs to honour their word
location
I booked a queen terrace room and when I arrived at 4 pm I was told it wasn’t ready ( checkin is 3) they said they would refund the difference if I took a double room . after many calls and emails and being sent between booking .com and the hotel I still dont have a refund 6 weeks later . plus I seem to have been charged for $17 for something ????

We did like the room-if it hadn’t given us headaches and nausea all night
small and quiet
our room had a very strong marijuana smell and our 6 year old son has asthma. We opened windows as best as possible, however no room swap available.

Lovely place - not overly central.
Friendly and very helpful staff on the front desk. Pool deck on the top has some great views.
Although very built up - it’s not particularly central to anything. 20-25 min walk to Grove Centre was a decent find though. It will take at least 45-60 mins to walk to WeHo.
