What it is

A modern West Hollywood Hotel in LA’s most walkable neighborhood, Kimpton La Peer Hotel features 105 luxury guestrooms and suites, a poolside lounge, an outdoor courtyard, and a rooftop pickleball court.

What it isn't

Lacking treats. True to its Kimpton reputation, the hotel spreads out the red carpet for visitors; expect evening wine hour, loaner bikes, complimentary coffee and tea service, and true pet friendly status (yes, they'll deliver bowls and comfy dog beds to your room).

What we think

Starlets and business tycoons on the rise may want to book La Peer for its welcoming atmosphere alone…it’s the type of place where dreams flourish. Guest rooms are outfitted with all of Kimpton's signature pampering touches, such as yoga mats and mini bars, to help you live your best Gwyneth Paltrow life. We love the King Premium rooms with separate soaking tubs and rain showers. To really indulge, choose the Terrace Suite, which boasts hardwood flooring, a sleeper bed, and a Nespresso machine, as well as a terrace perfect for enjoying the aforementioned Nespresso while wrapped in a fluffy robe. Be sure to dine away at Ladyhawk by Charbel Hayek, a Forbes-rated hit where Eastern Mediterranean meets SoCal from a Top Chef Champion, with a menu designed for sharing & pair perfectly with spice-forward cocktails.

You're here because

You’re about to be discovered (you just know it) and need a pool where you can see and be seen. This olive tree-flanked heated outdoor pool is definitely the look.

The Moment

Even in Lalaland, you’re not the type to skip breakfast—which is why the decadent options at the Courtyard Bar are so appealing. Will you have the Smoked Salmon Sunrise plate complete with a bagel and cream cheese, pickled onions and capers? The aptly named Oatmeal Power bowl? Or stick to a “that’s so LA” classic like the Avocado Toast? The morning is young; you may go for all three.

Location

A block from Santa Monica Boulevard, and two from the legendary Beverly Hills Sign…so cinematic, you can practically see Katharine Hepburn sashaying along underneath it.
