The Pool at Hotel Angeleno

"Additional perks include an outdoor pool with cabanas and a fire pit, a lobby-level cafe, and complimentary pickup and drop-off service to the Getty Center, UCLA, and Westwood"

"Amenities: Bar/lounge, Gym, Pool View the entire Hot List of the travel world's most noteworthy debuts in 2007 ›"

"Geared toward business travelers, this hotel has five meeting rooms, a business center, a lobby coffee shop, a modern gym, and an outdoor pool with a bar and fireplace terrace, which is available for events"

"The amenities on offer include a slightly underwhelming pool area, and the often-buzzing West bar and restaurant on the top floor"

"Valet only, and not exactly over-the-top luxury, but the pool area is so nice you'll forget the 405's just behind the retaining wall"

"The first Southern California property from San Francisco based Joie de Vivre minimizes the endless whoosh of cars with a thick steel and glass barrier between tower and traffic so that even at rush hour, the intimate pool area decked out with stylish Henry Hall chaises, overstuffed couches and an outdoor fireplace feels as private as nearby Bel-Air estates"

"Glamorous chaise longues and a corner fireplace add interest, especially at night when the poolside bar gets going"

"Fortunately, you can see how bad LA traffic is before you head out for the day! The pool is just big enough to swim laps in and closes at around 10 p"
