Cedars-Sinai Medical Center is the largest nonprofit hospital in the western United States and a world-renowned destination for cardiac, neurological, and oncology care, regularly placing in the top ten nationally. Its Smidt Heart Institute and Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute are globally recognised centres of excellence. Hotels along Sunset Boulevard and in Beverly Hills place patients' families in close reach of one of LA's most celebrated medical campuses.
The most mythologised hotel in Hollywood, a 1929 Norman castle-style property where the entertainment industry has checked in for a century of transactions, romances, and occasional scandals. Bungalows are booked months ahead for their celebrity-spotting courtyards, and the bar remains one of the best places in LA to feel as though you're in a film.
The Pink Palace has defined Beverly Hills glamour since 1912, with its Polo Lounge booths hosting power breakfasts that have shaped the entertainment industry for generations. Poolside cabanas are among the most sought-after spots in the city, and the bungalow suites — Marilyn Monroe's preferred room 7 — are genuinely extraordinary.
Tucked into a wooded canyon above Sunset Boulevard, the Bel-Air is the most serene luxury hotel in Los Angeles — 103 rooms and suites hidden among 12 acres of swan-dotted gardens, with Wolfgang Puck's flagship restaurant and a pool that feels genuinely secluded from the city. Favoured by celebrities who value privacy over proximity.
The only hotel in Los Angeles actually on the sand, Shutters combines Cape Cod beach-house charm with serious luxury — rooms feel residential and warm, the beachfront restaurant is reliably excellent, and the sound of waves replaces LA's usual ambient soundtrack of helicopters and traffic.
Roy Choi's culinary vision animates this reborn mid-century Wilshire Boulevard property, with rooms featuring original terrazzo floors and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the downtown skyline. The Koreatown location puts you within walking distance of some of the best Korean barbecue, karaoke, and late-night dining in the country.
A charming 1927 building reimagined as a cool-kid boutique with tile work, indoor plants, and vintage furnishings that feel genuinely curated rather than mass-designed. The Culver City location places you near the Hayden Tract architecture, the Platform retail complex, and an emerging restaurant scene rivalling Silver Lake.
