Days of sun-soaked poolside pleasures, biking through tree-lined neighborhoods, stopping for a cold press juice and outdoor lunch, maybe a little shopping or a ridiculously pampering spa treatment; then nights of hard-to-snag dinner reservations bypassing the paparazzi doormen, dancing and clubbing and bar hopping, and eventually ending in a sumptuously divine bed in cloudlike linens beside the one you love, or just love here.
Right? West Hollywood, the tiny hotspot in all of Los Angeles, is easy to get to from anywhere. More bars per square mile than any other city in California, more rooftop pools, restaurants and nightclubs. In other words, we have that special sauce for everyone. Everything you love about LA–that’s WeHo! Be in 1.9 square walkable miles of hard-pounding creativity, decadance and style–right in the center of LA. Every hotel is an incredible destination.
