Life is good at the London West Hollywood. Tucked just off Sunset, the hotel is a destination in itself. Seriously: It regularly hosts starlets at chic soirees on its open-air 10th-floor rooftop. The 3,800 square feet are outfitted with plush lounge chairs, white-marble fire pits and luxury cabanas, all surrounding the pool. If relaxing is on the docket, the London similarly has you covered. Every stay at the suites-only hotel is a spacious one. Styled by world-renowned interior designer David Collins Studio, guest rooms feature open floor plans, balconies, wet bars and luxurious bathrooms with dual-head showers. Book the Royal Crown Suite and enjoy its more than 1,650 square feet of living space, two full bathrooms and two private terraces — the ultimate hideaway. Not to be outdone, the concierge can book in-room spa services, snag tickets to that sold-out show and otherwise cater to your every whim. Or be entertained right at home: partake in the rooftop yoga, enjoy a traditional afternoon tea service or hit the kitchen for a private chef’s cooking class. The crowning jewel is Gordon Ramsay’s restaurant. Start each morning with the beautiful, bountiful Boxwood Breakfast Table (complimentary for guests), featuring fresh fruits, pastries, artisan cheeses, specialty coffee drinks and more. And make a reservation to enjoy the meal of your life in the glamorous dining room or one of the eatery’s five private salons. After an incredible dining experience and a restful night’s sleep, why, you just might be ready to take on Los Angeles. PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED BY THE LONDON HOTELS
