I came with a group of friends with varying artistic abilities (painting is not my strong suit), and we all had a lovely time.

Unfortunately, I had a very disappointing experience here and will not be coming back…read more The best part of the evening was the overall appearance and aesthetic of the venue. Out of the live entertainment, only one act was worthwhile; the other entertainer unfortunately sounded like they were screaming into the microphone, which was quite grating. As for the food, it honestly has to be some of the worst Persian food I've had in Los Angeles County, and it left me with severe indigestion and heartburn. When I politely shared feedback that the food wasn't good, one of the cofounders was defensive and combative rather than receptive. Additionally, some of the servers were rude and routinely brushed off questions, passing them along to other staff members. Given the poor food quality, unprofessional service, and defensive management, I cannot recommend this place.

One of the best stays I've booked in LA! I wanted a special new vibe for my man's bday and was…read morerecommended to stay here. Depending on your budget, this may or may not be a pricey hotel. Created an account via their website and booked a 1 night stay in the City King suite. $417 after taxes and including valet = $617. (Sat/Sun) LOVED their eco friendly vibe and thoughtfulness in the design of the property. Even down to the glass cups for complimentary water. Our room keys were wooden chips, the flooring material in the elevators were soft and cushion-y (so unique), real plants placed throughout the property- even in your room, free rides via their Audi vehicles (3 mile radius) and so much more. Upon arrival we were quickly checked in. Probably took no more than 10 mins. Valet was $75. Pets however stay for free! (So awesome) We ended up on the 10th floor and found a bottle of prosecco in the room to start the celebrations. The room was super clean, eco-friendly and the view was beautiful. Bedding was comfy and so was the additional couch in the room. Amenities were bomb and fridge options were too good! (Good brands) The lounge at check in was such a vibe with dim lighting. Sat there a few times (evening and morning) to just relax and enough the ambiance. Hotel was super lively with guests and community. There was a dj one evening and they seem to have a lot of wellness activities and offers which was nice to see. There's a breakfast spot right next to checkin (we didn't try) and a complimentary fresh fruit stand in the mornings. The architecture of the property is so beautiful and you can tell they really care for it (and the plants!) The grand stairs were my favorite be sure to take some pics in the evening - the glow is to good. Will definitely be back. I'm a fan!

Every single corner radiates beauty. Nothing feels forced; instead, the natural charm and sophisticated atmosphere of the space make a wedding day feel entirely luxurious, exclusive, and unforgettable. Beyond its stunning oceanfront backdrop, the property delivers the ultimate California wedding experience. It is a true 10 out of 10 that creates a flawless setting for a couple's most meaningful moments. I can't recommend this beautiful venue highly enough!

We got there a little before the ceremony started, so it was nice just walking around the property and enjoying the view for a bit. The indoor and outdoor setup worked really well for the event. Everything seemed organized pretty smoothly throughout the night and the staff was attentive without being overly formal. Food was actually pretty decent too. Nothing super memorable for me personally, but definitely good enough for a wedding reception. The view and overall atmosphere were probably the part I enjoyed the most.

We were in town for a show at the Hollywood Bowl, so this was the perfect location to explore the local area and an easy distance from the Bowl. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, and check in was smooth and easy. The room (a complimentary upgrade thanks to IHG One Rewards Diamond member status) was huge, well appointed and very comfortable. We had a well stocked bar in the room. Both room service and bar food was really good throughout the stay, and the bar was a fun place to hang out and beat the jet lag. We loved the lobby decor and art installation at the hotel. The bar set up was a work of art in itself, with beautiful fresh flower arrangements. This feels like a lot more upscale than other hotels in its price bracket in the area. Will definitely return.

Unless you are being booked here as the "best option" for your needs by your concierge nurse after…read moresurgery, just don't. And even if you are -- prepare yourself. In 2024, we spent over 30 cumulative days at La Peer while recovering from two separate rounds of plastic surgery. For our surgeon, this property was considered the "budget option" for post-op stays. Combined with the transparent pet policy (no extra charge for a small dog), it initially made financial sense -- which is why we gave it multiple chances. After two extended stays and a third booking attempt, I can confidently say the experience was consistently frustrating. The ONLY positive I can offer is that they do not charge extra for a small dog. That's it. Everything else? Staffing is horrific. Communication is awful. Follow-through is absolutely atrocious. The attitude from employees ranges from dismissive to openly condescending. On our first visit, the concierge nurse required a second room because she was afraid of dogs. Fine. However, despite this being part of a coordinated post-op arrangement, the hotel attempted to charge us the standard walk-in rate for that additional room instead of honoring the medical referral context. This resulted in unnecessary back-and-forth while I was literally on a gurney in the open lobby, with people standing around trying to figure out what room I was being placed in. Not exactly the seamless, discreet experience one hopes for immediately after plastic surgery. During that same stay, we asked to borrow scissors. A woman with a French accent scolded us and told us we could not "perform surgery in the room." That was never remotely the plan -- we simply needed scissors. The response was bizarre, accusatory, and completely unnecessary. On our second stay -- the night before surgery, when I needed to be freshly showered and prepared -- we requested towels. We were told no one could bring towels until the morning shift. In a hotel. Adjacent to Beverly Hills. The night before surgery. There were many more small breakdowns, but the pattern was consistent: poor communication, no accountability, and an odd amount of attitude for a property positioning itself as boutique luxury. When we attempted to book a third stay, staff suddenly claimed they had no knowledge of any partnerships with plastic surgeons -- partnerships that were the entire reason we had been referred there previously. The inconsistency was enough that we booked elsewhere. To add insult to injury, parking is $65 per night, other hotels in the area discount parking and amenities knowing plastic surgery recovery patients aren't driving and won't be using the amenities much if at all. We have stayed at other Kimpton properties and had perfectly fine experiences. This is, by far, the worst service we've encountered within the brand. If you are recovering from surgery and need calm, responsive, competent support -- this is not it.

Stepped into the Ocean Room and there are windows all along the room to capture the entire view of the ocean. Waves will crash right up to the windows. On the north side is a balcony if you'd like to step outside. The view warrants 5 stars. Brunch was provided and the menu included: French toast, Duke's roasted fish, Beef carving station, scrambled eggs w/cheddar cheese & bacon and sausage. Nothing was a standout. They also served beer and wine and I had a couple glasses of white. The food and wine were good; hence, the 4 stars. Overall, a gorgeous venue for events.

On the north end of the parking lot is the Moana Room where they have the Banquet facilities. The Moana Room operates as a pretty separate entity. It has its' own entrance, individual bathrooms are available, a dressing room that can be used as the bridal suite, private beachfront balcony, sweeping ocean views and an AMAZING cast/crew of professionals working to make your day awesome. We had been shopping for a venue for some time and were toying with the idea of a destination wedding. Hawaii has always been mine and mama's special place, but, it wouldn't have been practical (nor economical) to have it out there. Enter Duke's. Our first point of contact was Madelina. She met with us and and started our process. She explained thoroughly what our options were, but, most importantly, she asked us what they could do to make our day even more special. Our questions were answered there or subsequently researched and confirmed immediately. Madelina handed us off to Alessa after the initial, who became our lifeline for the next several months. Alessa's communication with mama was impeccable. As with planning any wedding, lots and lots and lots of questions are asked and lots and lots of changes are made. Alessa was patient, understanding and proactive. No detail was either too small or too big. She even stuck around after hours to meet with us on our Tasting Menu night. Fast forward to our wedding day... Alessa was front row center helping us headless chickens as we ran around. The ceremony area and the dining area share the same space which is separated by "blinds" like dividers from the dancefloor/cocktail/bar area. They store the tables in the dancefloor/cocktail/bar area and move it into the ceremony/dining space afterward. The beach is available for pictures, but, not generally open to the public. While we were taking pics outside and our guests were cocktailing, the staff scurried inside repositioning all the tables. Granted I was not inside, I was informed that the transition was seamless. The remainder of the evening was executed marvelously. Alessa was always available. The passed apps and champagne were delivered effortlessly. The dinner buffet was (as we were told repeatedly) AMAZING! The bartenders were friendly bros who took care of our guests. The bussers were on point cleaning up. Oh, and Madelina was there as well to check on us. This party was one of the BEST one's mama and I have ever attended! And i'm not just saying that because we threw it. From what our guests said too, they had a blast! I highly highly recommend Duke's Banquet facility for YOUR wedding needs. Hit me up if you need any particulars. Mahalo!

My wedding was the first one to be held at their chateau (after their own which I also attended). Theirs was much larger than mine and included a dance floor (which covered the pool) and I was amazed at how many people the backyard could hold. But my own wedding was on the smaller side (50ish guests) and we opted to play games in lieu of dancing. Everyone at our wedding loved the whole vibe and 2 1/2 years later, I'm still getting compliments on the amazing venue. Our wedding was movie-themed, so it was absolutely perfect to hold it in the Hollywood hills with a view of the Hollywood sign included. I highly recommend this venue for your next event! It will surely surpass your greatest expectations. And finding a venue as beautiful in the LA area can cost an arm and a leg, so I don't think you'll find a better venue for the price!

At one point in my life this was where I lived for a little over a year. And yes the club has rooms for lease on long term basis. It's easy to run into many famous icons that also called this place a home from time to time. If you read Warren Buffet's book, this was where Buffet met Munger and it definitely changed his life. Founded in 1888, the founders of city of Los Angeles created this club for their social network and permanent gathering. So details in services and presentation are always important here. To sum it up, it's difficult to even find employees at the club that work here for less than 10 years. The average time each employee spends here has to be over 30 years. What makes it incredible is that they tend to remember most members' names. If you have a chance to be invited to the club, it's essential to get a tour and experience the history here.
