Sofitel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills

Plenty of Los Angeles hotels can give you that pure, unadulterated Hollywood experience, but if you prefer yours with a French accent, the Sofitel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills is the answer. Though the setting, across from the Beverly Center, is unmistakably SoCal, the Sofitel is straight out of Paris, from the mansard roofs and French balconies to the dramatic, moody Art Deco–inspired interiors in the public spaces — Parisian fashion and Beverly Hills glamour conspire to leave you feeling criminally under-dressed.

Meanwhile the rooms and suites feel softer, more soothing, with a touch of a resort atmosphere, helped along by top-shelf comforts like glass-enclosed rain showers, Lanvin bath products, and Sofitel’s plush signagure bed. There’s plenty of space for lounging or working, and many of the upper-floor rooms and suites have impressive views of the Hollywood Hills.

Also on site is a full-service spa and a fitness center that’s the largest in any hotel in Los Angeles. You’ll want to work up an appetite for Cattle & Claw, the restaurant, which specializes in lobster and burgers, and Riviera 31, the cocktail lounge. And of course you’re not limited to what’s within the Sofitel’s walls — from this corner of Beverly Hills you’ve got access to a substantial proportion of L.A.’s finest dining and nightlife.

How to get there:
Sofitel Los Angeles is a 25-minute drive from Los Angeles International Airport, but the trip can take up to an hour depending on traffic. Valet parking is available (charges apply).
