Los Angeles Hotels
There’s a wide choice of hotels in LA, though if you find yourself at the budget end, you’ll have a hard time finding something that isn’t part of a motel chain or a hostel. Shop around for deals, especially outside of the summer months, and be prepared to stay in the suburbs of Burbank, Glendale or North Hollywood to save even more.
The Los Angeles hotels have been handpicked by our guide author and are grouped into three pricing categories:
Luxury (over US$350)
Moderate (US$200 to US$350)
Cheap (up to US$200)
These Los Angeles hotel prices are for a double room, per night, excluding breakfast and tax, unless otherwise specified. All hotel bills are subject to a 14% occupancy tax, which is added to the bill at the end of a stay. Parking fees may also apply.
Beverly Hills Hotel
Built in 1912, and exuding pure Hollywood glamour, this hotel has seen six of Elizabeth Taylor's honeymoons and featured in the 1978 movie California Suite. The famous Polo Lounge (a nostalgic vision of pink walls, green stripes and palm-printed wallpaper) is still a favourite among film directors, while its bedrooms have it all - cable TV, marble baths and walk-in closets included.
Popularised by its appearance in Pretty Woman, this Four Seasons hotel is renowned for its classical grandeur and impeccable service. An ornately carved entrance leads to a magnificent lobby and a choice between the elegant Boulevard Restaurant, a wood-panelled piano lounge and Cut, the Wolfgang Puck steakhouse. Luxurious rooms have marble bathrooms and the spa is stunning.
One of two luxury hotels on the beach, Shutters combines sophistication with a beach holiday atmosphere. The lobby has esteemed modern art, including pieces by David Hockney and Roy Lichtenstein, and each room has a veranda. All have four-poster beds, plus a copy of Hemingway's Old Man and the Sea.
