Hotels and places to stay in West Hollywood

West Hollywood is a city in its own right in Los Angeles County, between Beverly Hills and Hollywood. Despite the name, it has never been part of Hollywood or of the city of Los Angeles. It is small, under 5 km², and easy to explore on foot. FaceTraveler lists 14 places to stay here, almost all 4 and 5-star hotels.

Where to stay in West Hollywood

Sunset Strip. This is the stretch of Sunset Boulevard with the most nightlife, restaurants and music clubs, such as the Whisky a Go Go. Some of the city’s best-known hotels are here. A good fit if you want to go out at night; check on the listing whether the room faces the street.

Santa Monica Boulevard. This is the main east–west shopping street and the centre of LGBT life in Los Angeles County. It is the choice if you want shops, bars and restaurants within walking distance.

Pacific Design Center and Melrose. The west of the city, next to Beverly Hills, has interior design shops, antique dealers and galleries on Melrose Avenue and around the Pacific Design Center.

Getting there and around

West Hollywood has no metro station: within the city you get around on foot or on Metro buses. Traffic and parking are a well-known problem, so if you are driving, check on the listing whether the hotel has parking.

The nearest airport is Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). To get there, the practical options are a taxi or a hire car.

If you are driving and want to cross the hills to the north, the most used shortcut is Laurel Canyon Boulevard. On foot, on the other hand, the city is one of the most comfortable in the county.

When to go

The climate is dry and mild all year. Average highs range from about 19 °C in January to 27 °C in August, and the little rain there is falls in winter.
