You'll Feel Like Hollywood Royalty at the Top Hotels in Los Angeles

With sister properties in Austin and D.C., the LINE LA is located in Koreatown, which is in the midst of a major building boom. Rooms rock a modern bohemian vibe, and the outdoor pool is always buzzing.

The fashionable Dream chain, with two New York City hotels, has opened a Los Angeles outpost with views of the Hollywood Hills. You're definitely going to want to look your best when you dine and drink in its bars and restaurants, which includes the rooftop Highlight Room, complete with a sexy cabana-lined pool, and branches of Tao and Beauty & Essex.

The Kimpton La Peer Hotel is one of the boutique hotel chain's newer West Coast properties. Some fun amenities for guests to take advantage of include an outdoor pool, loaner PUBLIC bikes, pet amenities — including plush pet beds and water bowls — and the brand's signature complimentary afternoon wine hour in the lobby.

This Beverly Hills Hotel is as iconic as it gets — Marilyn Monroe hid out in one of the bungalows, Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack held court in the bar, and countless other celebrities have been pampered behind the walls of this swanky Los Angeles hotel, known as the Pink Palace. And its legendary Polo Lounge is the power lunch spot in town.

The Sunset Tower Hotel has just 74 rooms, making it one of the best hotels in Los Angeles for fans of boutique properties. It's been around since Hollywood's golden age, and today, it has a club-like vibe that caters to megawatt stars like Jennifer Aniston, Chris Pine, and Gwyneth Paltrow, who are regularly spotted on the terrace of the Tower Bar.

Steps from the Hollywood Walk of Fame, this Hollywood classic is one of the best hotels in LA for night owls. By day, lounge in one of the luxe poolside cabanas; come sundown, the deck turns into quite the party scene, complete with a DJ. There's also the clubby Library Bar for craft cocktails, and the Spare Room, featuring a vintage two-lane bowling alley. Late-night munchies? 25 Degrees, an upscale burger joint, is open 24/7.

This castle-like Hollywood hangout, rising above the Sunset Strip, has seen it all — the good, the bad, and the ugly, and its assorted scandals have only added to its cachet. Most suites and bungalows come with their own kitchens, but the restaurant's garden terrace is an idyllic spot to soak up the gorgeous SoCal weather before heading out for the night.

Another Los Angeles hotel that harks back to Tinseltown's golden era is the Hotel Bel-Air, tucked away in the hillsides of the posh LA enclave of Bel Air. Unwind by its famous oval-shaped pool, indulge in a deep-tissue massage in La Prairie Spa, situated amid the hotel's flower-filled gardens, and try to snag one of the prime people-watching terrace tables at Wolfgang Puck at Hotel Bel-Air.

Not far from Rodeo Drive, this retro-chic hideaway is one of the best hotels in LA for design buffs. The rooms and public spaces feature mid-century-modern furnishings and bright color schemes that evokes Palm Springs, and its Viviane Restaurant — serving modern California cuisine and '50s-inspired cocktails — is a hub for low-key celebrities who love to sit at the poolside tables while having a bite to eat.

Located on iconic Sunset Boulevard, the Andaz West Hollywood's rooftop pool is definitely ready for its close up. Outfitted with day beds and cabanas, the space has terrific views of the Hollywood Hills and downtown LA.

Newly trendy downtown Los Angeles has a lot going on. In addition to a buzz-worthy culinary scene and The Broad museum, the Staples Center is here, so there are always celebrities, musicians, and sports stars slipping into the swanky Ritz-Carlton, Los Angeles. Be sure to dine in the sky-hight restaurant called WP24 by Wolfgang Puck or have a drink in the Nest at WP24.
