This elegant LA boutique hotel combines refined American gloss with laid-back California sunshine. Minimal-chic interiors by design impresario Dodd Mitchell nestle modestly behind a stucco facade, and the restaurant is a star attraction – literally.

In the know
- Our favourite rooms
- Every room has a slightly different layout, but all feel luxuriously uncluttered and are decorated in soothing shades of white and tactile fabrics. Rooms on the second floor on the Brighton Street side get the most natural light. Standard Queens are comfortable and cosy; King rooms have huge beds and correspondingly huge plasma TVs.
- Packing tips
- A slinky dress for the hotel's cool lounge bar. And platinum credit cards for that Pretty Woman shopping experience.
Food & drink
- Hotel restaurant
- Boé (an acronym of Bacchus, Orpheus and Epicurus) situated in the lobby and patio area, serves seasonal food and is open for breakfast (6–10am), lunch (11am–3pm) and dinner (5–11pm). Try snapper tostados, or a curry burger with herbed garlic fries.
