Best Areas for Luxury Hotels in Los Angeles

These Los Angeles neighborhoods are known for hosting many of the city’s most luxurious hotels, offering upscale accommodations near top attractions, dining, and shopping.

01

Beverly Hills

Beverly Hills is one of the most famous luxury hotel districts in Los Angeles, known for elegant accommodations, luxury shopping on Rodeo Drive, and world-class dining.

The Beverly Hills Hotel

Hollywood history, cabanas

The Pink Palace has watched over Sunset Boulevard since 1912, and its banana-leaf wallpaper, Polo Lounge booths, and pool cabanas are still where the industry does business. Bungalows hide behind the gardens for full seclusion. As much a Los Angeles landmark as a hotel.

The Peninsula Beverly Hills

Impeccable service, garden calm

The Peninsula runs on a rare policy — check in and out whenever you like, at no charge — and backs it with garden villas, a rooftop pool deck overlooking the hills, and service that regulars call the best in the city. Two blocks from Rodeo Drive, a world away in feel.

02

Santa Monica

Santa Monica features upscale beachfront hotels offering ocean views, rooftop pools, and easy access to the iconic Santa Monica Pier and coastal attractions.

Shutters on the Beach

Beach-house luxury

Shutters sits directly on the sand in Santa Monica, styled like a grand Cape Cod beach house with white shutters and firelit sitting rooms. Bikes roll onto the beach path from the door, and dinner at 1 Pico ends with waves as the soundtrack. LA's definitive beachfront luxury stay.

Hotel Casa del Mar

1920s glamour on the sand

Casa del Mar's 1926 beach-club building gives its lobby the best golden-hour room in Santa Monica — a vast arched window over the Pacific with a bar to match. Rooms carry the same ocean-liner elegance. Shutters' sister property, one notch more romantic.

03

West Hollywood

West Hollywood is home to stylish luxury hotels along the Sunset Strip, offering vibrant nightlife, rooftop lounges, and trendy dining experiences.

The West Hollywood EDITION

Modern scene, rooftop pool

Ian Schrager's EDITION brought sleek minimalism to the Sunset Strip's east end: marble-clad rooms with terraces, a rooftop pool over the city grid, and a basement club that keeps the hotel's social engine running. Luxury tuned for a night-out crowd.

Sunset Tower Hotel

Art Deco, Tower Bar

This 1929 Art Deco tower on the Strip once housed Howard Hughes and John Wayne; today its Tower Bar is the industry's clubhouse, with a maitre d' who seats the room like a dinner party. Rooms look over the city to the ocean. Old Hollywood, still in service.

04

Downtown Los Angeles

Downtown Los Angeles features modern luxury hotels with skyline views, rooftop pools, and close proximity to cultural attractions, museums, and entertainment venues.

The Ritz-Carlton, Los Angeles

Skyline views, LA Live

Atop LA Live, the Ritz-Carlton puts Crypto.com Arena events an elevator ride away and frames the skyline from a 26th-floor lobby. The rooftop pool's city panorama is among downtown's best. The luxury base for game nights, concerts, and DTLA restaurant runs.

Conrad Los Angeles

New tower, Disney Hall views

The Conrad anchors The Grand LA across from Walt Disney Concert Hall, with Frank Gehry architecture outside and José Andrés restaurants inside. A tenth-floor pool terrace faces the Hall's steel curves. Downtown's newest luxury address, built for culture-first weekends.
