Best Boutique Hotel in Los Angeles - Hollywood

Map My Location
The Mondrian
8440 Sunset Blvd. West Hollywood, CA 90069
(323) 650-8999
This Sunset Strip boutique hotel boasts California-minimalist design in a chic environment. Reservations at the Mondrian get you a pass into the hot Skybar that encircles the hotel pool, where celebs can often be found lounging on the plush couches and sipping a cocktail (while the rest of us wait in line!). The Mondrian also houses one of the best restaurants on the Strip – Asia de Cuba, serving incomparable Asian-Latino fusion. Great for people on extended stay, each of the 237 rooms comes equipped with a kitchen and a large desk to get some quality work time in. It can get a bit rowdy in the evenings, so if you room faces Skybar and you’re not into partying, you may want to request a room on the opposite side.
Thompson Beverly Hills
9360 Wilshire Blvd. Beverly Hills, CA 90212
(310) 273-1400
The Thompson Beverly Hills, renovated in 2000, is located on Wilshire Boulevard, in the Heart of Beverly Hills and just off the exclusive shopping address of Rodeo Drive. The hotel is a stone’s throw from both Malibu and Santa Monica beaches. Of course, clocking in time at the rooftop pool with stunning views of Beverly Hills, Downtown Los Angeles, and world-famous Hollywood Hills may be a better option than getting sand between your tootsies!
Raffles L’Ermitage Beverly Hills
9291 Burton Way Beverly Hills, CA 90210
(800) 800-2113
Guests often include entertainment industry business professionals and international actors taking meetings for the week. Located in a quiet Beverly Hills neighborhood, the L’Ermitage has everything guests need in terms of technology and privacy including private fax numbers and personal cell phones. The 119 rooms and 19 suites boast Euro-Asian décor with simplistic intelligence including amenities like child and pet friendly rooms, free DSL and complimentary beverages in the Private Bar (non-alcoholic, that is). The hotel also houses the renowned Jaan Restaurant and has a rooftop pool complete with hillside views and private cabanas for those looking for extra privacy.
Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel
7000 Hollywood Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90028
(323) 466-7000
Talk about old-Hollywood, the Roosevelt has been in existence since 1927 and has seen regulars such as the Rat Pack, Clark Gable and icon Marilyn Monroe, who supposedly still haunts the hotel. Home to the very first Academy Awards, this landmark underwent major renovations in the 80s and is still thriving as a mixture of old and new, and is one of LA’s hottest night-life spots. Teddy’s is THE go-to lounge to mingle with celebs and get a taste of the good life. Rated amongst the top hotel pools in Los Angeles, the pool deck is always hopping with guests staying at the over 60 cabana rooms with prime access to the famed Tropicana bar.
The Standard
8300 W Sunset Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90069
(323) 650-9090
The completely un-standard Standard hotel encompasses the absolute essence of chic. Located on the always-buzzing Sunset Strip, guests flock here for the central location and the unparalleled posh atmosphere. From the upside-down signage to the nude statue lounging behind the welcome desk, this minimalist Warhol-esque hotel features a popular roof deck pool, organic bath products, quality bedding and much more. The Purple Lounge plays host to the hipster guests and LA residents alike – plus if you find that “special someone,” a hotel room awaits you just steps away.
The Grafton on Sunset
8462 W Sunset Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90069
(323) 654-6470
An art deco hotel gem in the heart of West Hollywood, The Grafton lays claim to a gorgeous Mediterranean outdoor garden with a non-chlorinated pool, a fitness center and access to the one of a kind steak restaurant and bar – Balboa. The stylized rooms pay homage to American history and Hollywood’s finest, including the Rat Pack Suite decked out in oversized photos of Frank, Sammy and the gang. The Grafton is on the smaller side with a little over 100 rooms, but the experience is big and the price is reasonable for the great amenities and location.
Le Montrose
900 Hammond St. Los Angeles, CA 90069
(310) 855-1115
This hidden Hollywood gem sits quietly in a residential area, just steps away from the famed Sunset Strip. With panoramic views of the city, a salt-water pool and Privato lounge, its recent multi-million dollar facelift transformed this old apartment complex into a relaxation zone that is a favorite of music and film industry types. The rooms, which are actually more like suites, are perfectly equipped for that quick business trip or romantic rendezvous. Just make sure you get a room on the backside – and on a higher floor - because with its prime location, it’s close to the busy sounds of LA. Call ahead to see if they are offering suite…uh, sweet deals.
The Standard Downtown (LA)
550 S Flower St Los Angeles, CA 90071
(213) 892-8080
We’d like to say that it’s all about the hotel, but it’s really all about the rooftop bar at this Andres Balazs hotspot where breathtaking views are almost as good as the Hollywood hotties positioned around the heated pool sipping the latest “it” cocktail on the - get this - vibrating waterbed pods. While the rooms aren’t anything to write home about, the unique, modern details and happening pool scene that features some of the hottest DJs in LA certainly is. Just don’t stay there if you have a big morning meeting unless you packed your earplugs. If you’re looking to stay at a very “LA” hotel, the Standard is choice.
Luxe
360 N. Rodeo Dr. Beverly Hills, CA 90210
(310) 273-0300
This urban oasis at the intersection of 405 and Sunset boasts 160 non-smoking rooms and a pet-friendly policy, so even Fido can enjoy a bit of Zen in the middle of the bustling city. The lush surroundings offer an outdoor patio, onsite restaurants (which have some mean Kobe Beef Sliders and truffle fries!) and a Zen spa…ahhh. Close to many of LA’s must-see spots like the Getty Center, it’s perfect for the out of towner who’s looking for something a little more intimate or the Beverly Hills Betty looking for a sunny lunch spot. Make sure to ask the concierge to assist you with your sight-seeing adventures - many of the services are free of charge to hotel guests.
The Mosaic Hotel
125 Spalding Drive Beverly Hills, CA 90212
(310) 278-0303
There are only 49-rooms on the property but don't let the size fool you... there is a nice outdoor pool, spa services, fitness room, and business center. The outdoor pool is the perfect place to enjoy a few drinks and because of the size of the hotel you should enjoy some nice privacy.
The Crescent
403 N. Crescent Dr. Beverly Hills, CA 90210
(310) 247-0505?
Who can resist staying in a hotel that boasts the ever-popular 90210 zip code? You can channel your inner glamour pus at this intimate Mediterranean style hotel that is a mere steps way from the posh Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. Originally built in 1926 for film stars, this 35 room hotel has been restored into a modern paradise…and they didn’t miss a detail – from the soft Italian linens and ipod docking stations to the fluffy robes, it’s A-list all the way. Just don’t be alarmed at the smell of yummy garlic fries wafting from the restaurant kitchen. If you’re looking for a star-studded scene this may not be the place for you, but if you’re in it to relax with a good cocktail and some serious chilling, a seat on the front deck awaits.
