The Best Unique Los Angeles Hotels
Traveling to Los Angeles can be overwhelming, to say the least. There are so many options between deciding what to do, what to eat, and where to stay. While this list still leaves you with plenty of options, here’s a sneak peek into a few great places that break away from the hotel and resort norm.
Beverly Hills
Staying at Avalon Hotel will feel like a home away from home. The assortment of beautifully designed rooms will fit any of your needs, including the penthouse with a 1,000 sq ft patio and views for days. Avalon Hotel also features Viviane Restaurant, an indoor-outdoor restaurant with an eclectic menu and poolside views. If you can bring yourself to leave the property, they even offer bicycles to cruise around the city.
Another modern luxury hotel in Beverly Hills that will not disappoint is Sixty Beverly Hills.
Bel-Air
Surrounded by trees in the wooded hills of Bel-Air, pulling into the resort will feel like an escape from the city. Your whole day will be complete by spending an afternoon at the spa, lounging by the pool, and enjoying dinner at Wolfgang Puck, all in the hidden sanctuary of Hotel Bel-Air.
Los Angeles
Your first step into the Ace Hotel will immediately immerse you in DTLA art history. Built-in 1927 for the maverick film studio, this updated hotel does an outstanding job mixing modern art and design with the historic architecture of the building. Complete with theater, coffee counter, and Best Girl restaurant, you’ll be able to spend your day enjoying LA’s finest right from your hotel. Oh, and you can’t forget the rooftop pool and bar with the best views of DTLA.
Full of locally curated art, live music and DJs, and restaurants unlike anywhere else in the city, staying at The Line Hotel will be a truly unique and memorable experience. Located in the heart of Koreatown, you’ll be able to keep busy at any hour of the day. Each room will inspire you with floor-to-ceiling views of the city and handmade furnishing from a local architect. If nothing else, a trip to the greenhouse-inspired restaurant is definitely worth the visit.
Located in Downtown, the Hoxton has a glamorous but laid-back vibe that draws in locals and visitors. With two restaurants, gorgeous suites, and a rooftop pool, the Hoxton has everything you’ll need for a comfortable and trendy stay.

This hotel lacks nothing, especially when it comes to art and style. Spend your afternoon in the heated rooftop pool, view over 150 handpicked art pieces, or plan the ultimate soiree all in a day at the unforgettable Petit Ermitage.
