The London West Hollywood: Where British Cool Meets California Ease

Some hotels shout for your attention. Others don’t need to. Perched just above Sunset Boulevard, The London West Hollywood at Beverly Hills is the kind of place that quietly wraps itself around you from the moment you arrive. Elegant but not flashy, polished but never sterile, it somehow strikes that elusive balance between high style and homey warmth—making it one of Los Angeles’ most consistently satisfying stays, whether you’re in town for business, awards season, or a proper little reset.

What sets The London apart starts with its suites—all of them. This is an all-suite property, so even the “standard” room here is larger than what you’d typically find in much of LA’s luxury hotel landscape. Designed by David Collins Studio, the interiors blend crisp British tailoring with California sunshine: bleached oak floors, oversized tufted headboards, polished chrome finishes, and embossed white leather details create a palette that feels equal parts Savile Row and SoCal loft. Suites start at a generous 725 square feet and feel even larger thanks to open floor plans, actual walk-in closets, and spa-like bathrooms outfitted with soaking tubs, rainfall showers, and double vanities. And then there are the private terraces—most rooms have them—overlooking either the glittering city lights or the rolling green drama of the Hollywood Hills.

It’s premiere suite is the tenth-floor, $15,000 per-night penthouse, inspired by Vivienne Westwood, where one enters through a private, contemporary-styled corridor that leads to 6,000 square feet of spacious and striking design, specially created to form an intimate ambiance. The experience is then taken to new heights on the suite’s 5,000 square foot private outdoor rooftop terrace, ideal for entertaining and featuring breathtaking panoramic city views.

Still, the real crown jewel of the property might be the rooftop pool deck, which feels more like a private club than a hotel amenity. Surrounded by white linen cabanas, low-slung loungers, and panoramic views that sweep from downtown to the Pacific, it’s the kind of place where time melts. It’s peaceful, elevated—literally and aesthetically—and perfectly positioned for sunbathing with a cocktail, catching up on screeners, or just not being anywhere else for a while. The sunsets here are cinematic. The energy? Pure calm above the chaos.

When it comes to dining, Boxwood—the hotel’s all-day restaurant—leans into fresh California fare with just enough of a British nod to remind you where the name comes from. Breakfast, which is complimentary for guests and served in the bright, garden-facing dining room, is particularly lovely: think perfectly poached eggs, flakey croissants, fresh-pressed juices, and strong espresso. Later in the day, Boxwood shifts into an understated but upscale dinner spot with dishes like grilled branzino, truffle pasta, and a well-executed burger for those keeping things classic. And for guests who prefer to stay horizontal, in-suite dining is available 24/7—and every bit as refined as the restaurant downstairs.

Other touches? A fitness center that actually inspires use, with of-the-moment equipment like Peloton bikes. A house car ready to take you anywhere within a two-mile radius (very handy for dinner on Melrose or meetings in Beverly Hills). Complimentary Wi-Fi that’s actually fast. And a pet-friendly policy that goes beyond “permitted” and into “pampered.” At The London, pups get the plush-bed-and-treats treatment too.

But above all, what really elevates this hotel is the service—always professional, never performative. The staff here strikes that sweet spot between relaxed and razor-sharp, offering genuine hospitality without ever hovering. There’s a sense that they know why you’re here—and that they’ll anticipate your needs without announcing it. That’s the kind of quiet confidence that makes a property feel like home for frequent travelers, industry insiders, and in-the-know creatives who prefer polish without pretension.

That being said, The London West Hollywood delivers exactly the kind of stay you didn’t realize you needed: effortless, spacious, genuinely relaxed luxury—with views that feel like they belong in a movie, and a sense of calm that actually feels earned.
