The Best Hotel in Hollywood, Los Angeles

Background Illustration for Hotels

With easy access to the Walk of Fame and trendy nightlife, Hollywood caters to partygoers and action-seekers. Movie buffs may take days exploring the vicinity, but most travelers usually spend some time walking along Hollywood Boulevard, which is a congested strip of historic theaters, bars, restaurants, and kitschy (and sometimes tacky) shops. Many hotels in the area, however, offer great views of the Hollywood sign, and Universal Studios theme park is one or two Metro stops away. This area can be rough at night. Nearby in Los Feliz and Silver Lake, you’ll find historic walkable neighborhoods packed with boutiques and cafés.

FODOR’S EXPERT REVIEW

A complete makeover in 2025 gave the already stylish W’s ultra-comfortable rooms a polished look with hardwood flooring, marble bathrooms, designer lighting, and curved couches. The curves begin in the lobby under a massive abstract chandelier of mirrored circles. Curved tufted velvet couches fill the retro-styled, sunken conversation pit. The horseshoe-shaped lobby bar overlooks both the luxe seating area and the greenery-filled patio; when the weather is fine, accordion doors open to the outside. On the roof, the pool deck sports two bars and the most luxurious poolside cabanas in Hollywood. Workout in the extra-large gym complete with Pelotons, free weights and other spiffy equipment. Upper floor rooms can face the Pantages Theatre’s historic neon-lit facade, the Capitol Records building, the famed hills and all the way to downtown. The bedside, mini-Marshall amp blue tooth speaker, along with a full bar, lets guests set their own vibe.
