Los Angeles is a city of neighborhoods, and its boutique hotel scene reflects that patchwork. From the storied glamour of Hollywood and West Hollywood, where the ghost of old Tinseltown lingers in halls like those of Chateau Marmont and the Hollywood Roosevelt, to the sleek, modern towers of Downtown LA and the easy-going, sun-drenched vibe near the coast, these properties are as varied as the city itself. The common thread is personality over uniformity—each one has a distinct identity, be it a design-forward aesthetic, a historic aura, or a prime location that puts you in the heart of the action.
In terms of cost, boutique stays here are as diverse as the styles. While you can find a nightly rate as low as $70, a typical night's stay is around $176, and the upper end climbs to over $600 for the most exclusive addresses in Beverly Hills and Hollywood Hills.
