If location is everything, then this venerable hotel has it all sewn up: from sun-filled guest rooms with private step-out balconies to award-winning, see-and-be-seen dining.

But aside from being perfectly positioned for forays into LA’s most exciting spots (this living legend is tucked between Beverly Hills and West Hollywood, just a stone’s throw from the shopping mecca and celebrity haunt of Rodeo Drive), its balconies, shady terraces, dining patios and outdoor fitness areas make it the perfect place to retreat to should you need a break from the city buzz. Inside, glitz and glamour are replaced by quiet elegance and calm tones, while outdoors, the open-air gym and shiny pool allow you to make the most of LA's year-round sunshine. This truly is a hotel for all seasons, and one you'll want to keep coming back to.
