THE LONDON WEST HOLLYWOOD

Favourite hotel in LA

THE LONDON WEST HOLLYWOOD

Even though I now live at the beach in Venice and don’t have a real need for a hotel in The city of angels I wanted to share this spot. The roof top poolside restaurant is one me of my favourites for a business meeting and some potential celebrity sightings.

Being in the music business I have got to work with some big stars and the hotel is very close to the Viper room, where so many bands got their start and when I’ve been in need of a late bite the London West Hollywood is my home from

Home.

It’s small and you definitely don’t have to dress up. Things are low key but done well at the London. Everyone is treated like a celebrity something I really like.

It is a film star magnet, I’ve sat across from J Lo having a business meeting, Lupita N’ Yong, I’ve even had a dip in the pool with singer Jessie J. Technically we weren’t together she just happened to jump in at the same time as me.

The staff have always been really good to me. I think they know industry people as a few of the wait staff and runners are actors, directors, writers mainly.

I’ve stayed three times in total just for the night and for me it was total whacky pleasure. The tubs are immense, the towels fluffy, the beds huge, mini bar snacks unreal, the views all the way to downtown or the hustle of alive Sunset strip. The lowest cost room are a couple of hundred bucks a night depending on when. Sounds like a lot but not compared to other LA hotels. Shutters on the beach in Santa Monica or The Beverly Hills hotel rooms cost between 400- 500 bucks. I’ve also stayed at The Mondrian and the Andaz, two middle priced properties on Sunset, but the pools not so good at the Andaz and Even though you get access to the once very famous Sky Bar staying at the Mondrian it’s not so fashionable these days it’s unlikely you’ll find Cindy Crawford and Randy Gerber propping up the bar.

For anyone visiting LA The London West Hollywood is easy to find, about 45 minutes to 1 hour drive from LAX, 405 to La Cienega.

And pretty convenient base for vacationers looking to visit LA attractions like Universal Studios, LA county Museum, Venice, Santa Monica, Sunset Strip and the Hollywood sign.

I’ve spent a lot of my time playing the Viper room on Sunset and after the gig The London West Hollywood has been the respite of choice after a long and late night for quite a few years now.

Living in Venice I don’t need a Hotel in LA very often but if I do and the band is paying this is the one I always choose to crash since the Standard, further down sunset closed a few years back. Sadly that favourite didn’t survive. Hope you check out the London for yourself. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. It’s a special place.
