With its moppy-headed, Vespa-riding legions, and sundry ex-pat Brit pop stars, LA can sometimes feel like Blighty-on-the-Pacific. So a titular hotel seemed only appropriate, no? A swish refurbishment of former b-level rock star flop Bel-Age, the extremely natty new London West Hollywood Hotel even sports a Brit’s stylistic touch, with interiors by superstar London designer David Collins. Just opened last week, rooms are generous open plan suites with terraces—for staggering views, we recommend the London Vista Suites, for romantics the garden-facing Veranda Suites. A rooftop pool is sure to host much celluloid schmoozing, and in June, our favorite gastronomic hooligan, one Gordon Ramsay, will open the hotel’s eponymous restaurant on site. Rather brilliant, then.
