Palihouse West Hollywood

The very first Palisociety hotel was the Palihouse Holloway, a boutique-chic extended-stay concept named for its West Hollywood address. A decade and a half and more than a few Palisociety openings later, the brand has revisited its roots, with what’s less a simple renovation and more a total replacement of its original hotel: the 95-room Palihouse West Hollywood.

As you’d expect based on the Palisociety brand’s previous form, the Palihouse West Hollywood is a vintage-inspired stunner — its design incorporates L.A.’s plentiful European influences and encompasses a multitude of eras on the way to delivering a blend that ultimately feels fresh and fully realized. In its comforts it’s in the happy middle between boutique minimalism and hyper-luxe ostentatiousness; custom-made furniture, Diptyque bath products, and well-stocked SMEG mini-fridges set the tone.

And the social life, as is customary in a hotel like this, is just as important as the accommodations. The hotel’s Lobby Lounge Café & Bar is just what it sounds like: a versatile space suited for everything from solo work to late-night revelry. Meanwhile Mezzanine Sushi serves sake and modern Japanese bar food to guests and locals, and the Pool Lounge is an indoor-outdoor space for hotel guests only.

How to get there:
Palihouse West Hollywood is a 30-minute drive from Los Angeles International Airport, but the trip can take up to an hour in traffic. Valet parking is available.
