    I highly recommend The Valorian Hilton Curio collection ( formerly-- The Mondrian) Bonnie is a stand out front desk team member-- valet Jackie-- door Constantine. Love this hotel- views are gorgeous! Best pool with live DJ's, gorgeous hotel and great staff! Stay here.

    Great location. Truly spacious rooms. Pricing seems more than fair though I wonder if it is because of newly renovated special deals. Given the area - keycard to call the elevator, keycard to get to your floor is comforting. The lobby is a nice place to hang out and their little amenity shop had friendly service. There is a keydrop for check out and having been at the 1Hotel just down the street before grabbing a Lyft for a flight I completely forgot I still had my room key in my pocket just in case I needed to get back into the room before heading out. Well, the online checkout worked too! That may seem like a dumb comment but I have found the online experience to be not so great for other places on recent stays. Though I will still give them five-stars, there was one thing that really annoyed me. I came in from the East Coast. It was only for one night. I got there about an hour or two before checkin. I just wanted some down time and a shower. Okay, we do have a room ready but that will be $50 to get in before checkin time. What!?!?! $50 for literally no extra effort from the hotel? I did it, but that's the kind of policy that will turn people away for good.

    Nice views

    I'm not overly impressed with this downgrade from the Mondrian Hotel but the staff is great! Special call out to Brandon who is an amazing human and he's a great employee too! I also love Janae who checked us in. She gave us a nice room and then I switched it twice because the rooms here are not great but the views are! They really need to do a major renovation not just a lame hodge podge of scattered attempt of trying to upgrade this property

    Exposed wiring in the room

    My wife and I chose this place for a mini-moon after our wedding. I called a few days earlier and spoke to Jason, the concierge, asking if there was anything special they could do to celebrate the occasion and they offered to leave a bottle of Prosecco and chocolates in the room. We checked in and they didn't leave anything in the room like they said they would. Instead the first thing I noticed in the room was exposed electrical wiring underneath the side table. The walls are also very thin as we woke up to the folks next door stomping around at 3am. The only redeeming quality was the pool, but I do sympathize with the families with kids under 21 who got kicked out. The hotel should just market to 21+. Overall, I personally wouldn't stay here again nor recommend it to friends or family.

Honestly one of the best hotel experience I've had in a long time, which is saying a lot because I get to travel alot. Spoiled me! Everything about the experience checked all the boxes. The hotel is beautifully decorated. Classy. The rooms are gorgeous, understated elegance. You can tell the place is newish. The service is amazing. Everyone from the front desk to the valet to the hotel restaurant are kind and helpful. As others have mentioned, the courtyard, outside space is beautiful. A classy, almost Italian country feel. Big white leather booths that are lovely to lounge in, whether to eat, have a glass or wine, or just hang with a book. We just loved the restaurant at the hotel. We accidentally stumbled once we got there into their Happy Hour (so lucky) which was amazing. Besides the beautiful outdoor space under the trees, hey they had delicious drinks and amazing food on the happy hour menu! We had the truffle French fries, beef skewers, green beans and then a Caesar salad with added chicken. All was great - specially loved the fries and salad (the added chicken was juicy and delicious). We enjoyed our experience SO MUCH we went back for dinner! That's how good it is! Sat by the outdoor fireplace - very romantic - and had an equally lovely late night dinner. Burrata and tomato, shrimp appetizer and our favorite rigatoni I believe with a creamy pesto sauce. So yummy! The location is great. Earlier that morning I had met friends at the corner of Sunset and Highland to march in the LA Pride. The Hollywood Bowl is an amazing place to enjoy a picnic, wine and cheese spread while enjoying beautiful music... The hotel is just across from the Farmer's Market, where we went for two extraordinary meals- an Italian restaurant that was delicious and breakfast at DuPars which lived up to its hype of Esquire magazine that said their pancakes were the best in the world. Earlier I had to run to Target. My boyfriend walked a block away to Trader Joes. Everything you need and more is a short walk. We didn't go this time, but Canters is also up the street. My go to place for matzo ball soup late night while I was in college. As I said, this place checked every box. Oh - haha - I should mention the price was so reasonable for the quality of the experience! They also are pet friendly too. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! WE WILL BE BACK!

I was a little let down given the price to be honest. Service was uneven, some people were great and sometimes I felt looked down on if that makes sense. The reason to come here though is because of its location. It's near an Erewhon, the Comedy Store, Museum of Death, and other cool places.

Fine. Bed sheets and comforter have stains. Ok.. it happens .. whatever.. but even all bath towels have stains.. that's unexceptable. So I called the front desk to ask for new bath towels, waited for an hour.. didn't come. Called again waited another 30 mins, still never come. On the check out day, one of the staff was banging the door when I was in the shower. Which was ridiculous because I talked to the front desk the night before that I am going to have late check out. I was rushing to wear my clothes to answer the door, and realised he already opened my room door. Which means, luckily i was dressed.. if not, he would see me naked. And I feel this is super disrespectful! Why would u open someone's door without permission? Then the whole conversation he was so rude, with an attitude, said I didn't have late check out, late check out is not guarantee and only gave me 10 mins to leave the room and will have penalty. I was shocked. At the end when I check out. I was asking for the staff's name who is kicking people out. And the front desk was trying to cover up for him and said they don't know who that is. I am like.. Come on, how could you not know your coworker's name? So they finally gave me a name " Johnathan" which I don't know if they made it up or not. But anyways, this is the experience I had in this hotel. Definitely not recommend this hotel because of the service and cleaningness for this price.

According to their website, the hotel has been designated with a Michelin Key. -Ambiance: Vibrant colors paired with elegant design elements throughout. The lobby and courtyard are especially stunning. -Design: Thoughtfully designed spaces, including a courtyard with cushioned seating, a fountain, and two gas fire pits--perfect for relaxing. -Location: Conveniently within walking distance to the Hollywood Bowl and Hollywood Blvd. -Upgrade: We were upgraded at no additional cost--a pleasant and unexpected surprise. -Fun Fact: A reality show I watch, 90 Day Fiancé on TLC, filmed at this hotel--and coincidentally, we stayed in the same room. How cool is that? Feedback: -Provide additional waste receptacles in the lobby and guest rooms; currently, there is only one in the bathroom. -Consider switching to key cards instead of manual keys for added convenience. Helpful Info: -Complimentary Breakfast: The website description is misleading--breakfast is only "complimentary" if you pay a $30 service fee, which is actually tied to internet access. Worth paying the service fee if you need reliable internet. Our connection in the room was spotty--we had to step outside our room to get a stable signal. -Phone Coverage: Staffing is limited, with one team member often covering multiple roles (front desk, valet, driver, breakfast prep). As a result, calls may occasionally go unanswered. -Parking: Valet parking is available on-site for $45 per day. -Accessibility: The property has only two levels and no elevators, which may be challenging for guests with mobility concerns. Final Verdict: Highly recommend based on the stellar customer service, prime location, and beautifully designed ambiance.

    This was my 2nd stay here. My first stay was in 2009 (!), 6 months after SLS first opened to great…read morefanfare by businessman Sam Nazarian and his SBE Group. He would later open several other SLS properties, including one in Las Vegas (it's now the Sahara). Although he's no longer with SLS, there are still properties worldwide. This one is now part of Marriott's Luxury Collection. I believe it's the first North American hotel designed by famed French designer Philippe Starck, whose designs are always whimsical, eccentric, out-of-the-ordinary. I believe its uniqueness and iconic status is why very little has been changed regarding the hotel's design, and what has been refreshed has been clearly done with Starck's vision kept in mind. SLS itself was a complete gutting of the former Le Meridien Hotel. I took a look at my photos from my first stay before posting this review; they were taken with a digital camera, before phone cameras had good quality. The exterior, hotel lobby entry and patio, valet area and ground floor public areas (the dining space now called The Nook, the concierge desks, the foyer for the meeting rooms) are pretty much unaltered, although I don't recall the nearly full-size white horse wearing multiple strands of pearls with a lampshade on its head. The images in the elevators are unchanged. What is different here is the large entryway and outdoor lounge located behind the valet stand. This area has been closed since the pandemic, open for private events on occasion. Originally it was the entry to the large, highly acclaimed restaurant The Bazaar by Jose Andres, when chef Andres was near the beginning of his illustrious career. I remember this tapas-style restaurant was wildly popular and had several different dining concepts within. One of them was Saam, an exclusive limited-seating tasting-menu spot that later morphed into Somni. Somni reopened post-pandemic, without chef Andres, in another space in West Hollywood and now has 3 Michelin stars, helmed exclusively by chef/owner Aitor Zabala. I'd say the lack of a signature restaurant is one of SLS's shortcomings, especially considering its past. I noticed in my old photos there used to be a Morton's Steakhouse connected to SLS that's also now an empty/unused space. I would describe SLS's chief design components in 3 words: monkeys, mirrors, chandeliers. They are everywhere. But it's not a case of style over substance; service and amenities overall were good. The hotel overall skews dark. There's virtually no natural light in the ground floor public spaces, and the rooms also lack some light due to the smallish size of the windows. But they are definitely brighter than before. SLS has at least one interior courtyard; my room faced this way, as do any rooms with terraces or patios. I loved the often humourous lit panels that have the room numbers on them--animals or 17th century people with whimsical features and/or monkeys "graffiti'd" in. The room was pretty spacious. There was evidence of a past mini-bar, now just an empty fridge (which I prefer) and an empty drawer with space for "Saints" and "Sinners". There were 3 types of fancy glassware and in illy coffee machine. I remember the triangular-ish stainless steel sink and back-lit shelves in the bath. The best part was the A/C could be set below 65 degrees, which was essential during the heatwave that shrouded my stay. The layout of the rooftop pool deck is the same, although there are no longer huge framed mirrors and paintings surrounding the pools, allowing for more seating. There are 2 pools, one less than a foot deep, the other less than a yard deep. There's quite a variety of seating. There's a restaurant/bar here called LaDiDa that serves lunch and dinner and a weekend brunch they're really trying to promote. I did a lunch here; service was friendly but SLOW--servers cover the entire pool deck. The ground floor restaurant The Nook serves breakfast and lunch. If you have a breakfast plan like I did, there are quirky rules as to what you can order that aren't related to cost. On 2 separate occasions I ordered 2 cold beverages (instead of one hot and one cold) and a smoothie--they let both errors slide but was warned I was not playing by the rules. There's a automatic 20% service charge for any dining option at SLS, so service can be perfunctory, although always friendly. Just beyond The Nook is Sushi by Scratch, an omakase tasting menu for 10 people at a time, with 3 seatings nightly and one lunch seating on weekends. Aside from room service, those are all the SLS dining options. But there are oh-so-many dining options nearby, many walkable. And the hotel does have a house car, actually a large Mercedes bus that can hold at least 8 passengers. It's first come, first served. and only does drop-offs, not pick-ups. Overall a very nice staycation. It was like entering a time-warp into the past, but SLS's style is perhaps ageless?

    Service was mediocre overall, especially the breakfast host…read more The hotel room was extremely noisy. There are six floors in total and our room was on the 4th floor, but we could still hear almost every car passing by outside. Also surprising for a Luxury Collection property: there were no vanity care amenities in the room. First time using an Illy espresso machine, usually I see Nespresso ones. Breakfast seating is quite limited. That said, the American breakfast was pretty good. The orange juice, the coffee was solid, and the mushroom and spinach sides were especially good.

My car was totaled, my apartment became uninhabitable, and my little emotional support animal, Rumi, and I suddenly found ourselves living in a hotel. I came here hoping for a safe place to stay. What I've found is so much more. Jesse and the entire front desk team set the tone from day one. Every interaction has been met with warmth, patience, and genuine kindness. They never treated me like a room number. They treated me like a person whose world had just been turned upside down. Olga is an angel. She didn't just clean my room. She hung up my clothes, vacuumed, made everything feel peaceful again, and gave me one of the warmest hugs I've had in a very long time. It may have been a simple act to her, but it meant everything to me. She reminded me what compassion looks like. Logan has been so kind in every way and he completely stole Rumi's heart. Every time he sees her, he surprises her with treats and makes her feel like the most important little guest at the hotel. Watching someone love my dog so effortlessly has brought so much joy during an incredibly difficult time. Robert at concierge has been lovely. I deeply appreciate the care that goes into every interaction. Jessica at the bar has always been warm, welcoming, and kind. Sometimes remembering someone's name, asking how they're doing, or simply smiling can change the entire course of their day. The team at Cavatina has been just as wonderful. Every single person I've interacted with has made me feel genuinely welcome. Their kindness isn't an exception. It's the culture. Thank you John for the incredible suggestions of food and wine. Over the past two weeks, I've been reminded that true hospitality has very little to do with beautiful buildings and everything to do with beautiful people. When your whole world collapses, you don't remember the thread count, the lobby, or the décor. You remember the people who looked you in the eye. The people who asked how you were doing and made you feel safe. Every single one of you has given me that. Thank you for reminding me that humanity is alive and well. I will never forget the way you've made me feel and would recommend this to anyone looking for an incredible experience in the heart of LA, and West Hollywood.

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!

It is situated literally next to the Sunset Tower Hotel which is a celebrity hotspot and extremely expensive. The Andaz Hotel is across the street and Saddle Ranch and the famous Comedy Store are maybe a one or two minute walk away. The room was very nice and the bathroom was good-sized. The shower was also excellent (except the body wash in the wall dispenser was empty--hey, it's a Best Western, did you expect perfection?). There is a free continental breakfast and it is fine. The pool is good-sized but there were no towels available when we arrived. Again...this ain't the Beverly Hills Hotel. The self-parking garage is on the other side of the property and is connected to the hotel. Be aware: some rooms, like ours, overlooked Sunset Boulevard. Sunset Boulevard is extremely loud, especially at night. If that may disturb you, ask for a room facing the other way. Unfortunately, the worst thing going for this hotel is the clientele. Yes, this is a budget hotel chain but the prices you pay at this particular spot are far higher solely because of its location. Sadly, some of the guests were incredibly noisy and rude and apparently, smoking at the pool is perfectly acceptable. I could give other unfortunate examples. So this pricier budget hotel still attracts a very budget crowd. Would I stay here again? If I wanted to be in this location without paying $500 or more a night, yes.

I stayed on the third floor with easy access to the backyard pool area, and it was such a relaxing setup. The little patio and pool space are absolutely beautiful -- peaceful, well-kept, and perfect for unwinding. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed, making the whole stay feel warm and inviting. They also offer breakfast, which is such a great bonus, and the manager is truly amazing -- welcoming, attentive, and genuinely caring about guests' experiences. Even though there are much fancier hotels nearby, I would choose this one again in a heartbeat. It feels personal, cozy, and special. I'll absolutely be coming back over and over again.
