Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills

Staying at the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills was an absolute highlight. I could tell it was a busy time—Oscars season, perhaps?—as many rooms were booked, but that didn’t take away from the luxury experience. The small balcony was a real plus, offering a quiet spot to enjoy the view and some fresh air. While the price is definitely on the higher end, the service, comfort, and overall ambiance make it worth every penny. Location-wise, it’s tucked into a residential neighborhood, so you won’t find bustling shopping or nightlife nearby—but that’s part of its charm. It’s peaceful, quiet, and feels like a private retreat. If you’re looking for convenience and city energy, this might not be the best fit. But if you want a serene, high-end stay with exceptional service, this hotel delivers. Definitely recommend for those seeking a refined escape.

The Aster

Stayed in three hotels in Hollywood, and this one truly stands out as the best. I stayed for over ten days in a Pool Club room, and it was an absolute delight. The moment you step out of your room, you're greeted by the serene pool area—perfect for relaxing during the day or enjoying a cool drink at the poolside bar in the evening. Location-wise, it's incredibly convenient: just a short walk to major attractions and surrounded by great dining options.

Hilton Los Angeles-Universal City

Staying at the Hilton Los Angeles-Universal City was an absolutely fantastic experience. The hotel is just a short 10-minute walk from Universal Studios, and while there’s also a shuttle service available, walking is quick and convenient. Breakfast was excellent—fresh, varied, and satisfying—and dinner at the on-site café was equally enjoyable. That said, I was surprised by the $20 fee to use the microwave in the room. It felt a bit unexpected, almost as if they’re discouraging guests from bringing in their own food and pushing them toward dining at the hotel’s restaurant instead. Still, that minor downside doesn’t take away from the overall quality. The hotel feels safe, clean, and well-maintained—perfect for a family vacation. The location is unbeatable, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. If you're visiting Universal Studios, this is definitely one of the best places to stay, and despite the microwave charge, we’d stay here again without hesitation.

W Hollywood

I've stayed at W Hollywood multiple times for business trips, and it never fails to impress. The hotel is impeccably clean and well-maintained, with a sleek, modern vibe that makes you feel like you're in the heart of LA glamour. Right outside the door, there's a wide variety of restaurants—great for grabbing a bite before a flight or just enjoying a casual meal after work. Nearby convenience stores make late-night essentials easy to grab. What really stands out is the airport shuttle service; it’s incredibly convenient for travelers connecting through LAX, but I highly recommend booking it in advance since spaces fill up quickly. With its prime location, stylish design, and top-notch service, this place delivers an exceptional experience every time. Definitely my go-to when in town.

The Hollywood Roosevelt

Staying at The Hollywood Roosevelt was an absolute delight from start to finish. The location is unbeatable—right on the edge of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, with Madame Tussauds and the Chinese Theatre just across the street. It’s perfect for exploring on foot, and everything you’d want in LA is within walking distance. The valet and bell staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and the front desk team took time to explain all the hotel amenities with genuine care. The rooftop pool area is lively and vibrant—perfect for a sunny October day in LA. I highly recommend the poolside ice cream; it’s generously sized and absolutely refreshing. The suite itself is spacious and full of vintage charm. The living room sofa is so comfortable I never wanted to leave it, and the bed in the bedroom was pure bliss—great sleep quality. The only minor downside is that the suite faces the street, so there’s some traffic noise, but the view of the bustling Walk of Fame from the window makes up for it completely. You’re literally steps away from iconic landmarks, and the atmosphere is electric. This place truly captures the spirit of old Hollywood. A must-stay if you're visiting LA.

The Godfrey Hotel Hollywood

The room was spotless and had a cool, modern vibe that made the stay really enjoyable. The neighborhood felt safe—no homeless people around, which was a big plus for me. I only had one day in Los Angeles before heading to Santa Monica. Unfortunately, taxi rides to the airport or Santa Monica cost $50–$70 each way, which felt way too expensive for such short trips. If I’m back, I’ll definitely look into alternative transportation options. Still, the hotel itself was excellent—great cleanliness, stylish design, and friendly staff. It’s definitely a place I’d consider staying again if I ever return to LA.

Its location is fantastic: just a short walk from public transit, making it easy to explore downtown Los Angeles without needing a car. There are plenty of great dining options nearby, so you’re never far from a good meal. Breakfast was solid—offering a nice mix of hot and cold options, including some fresh pastries and local favorites. Everything about this stay felt thoughtfully curated. If I ever return to LA, this will be my first choice again.
