Concierge

"Now, the hotel has brand-new modern interiors that quietly compliment the building’s great bones, and a low-key glamour that appeals to the discreetly rather than flamboyantly fashionable."

Fodor's

"A clubby style infuses the 1929 art deco landmark once known as the Argyle." Full review

DK Eyewitness

"Once the home of John Wayne and mobster Bugsy Siegel, The Sunset Tower is a striking 1929 Art Deco tower."

Travel + Leisure

"Gorgeously revived in 2006 by hotelier Jeff Klein, this 1929 Art Deco landmark was once an apartment building to the stars." Full review

Time Out

"These days, the decor is a fine-tuned balance of old Hollywood charm and contemporary chic, and service is excellent." Full review

Star Service

"This finely tuned traditionalist sits just above the modern Mondrian in the ranks, offering its guests a more refined and fastidious version of the high-octane Chateau Marmont." Full review

Request a north-facing room for a glimpse of the famed boulevard.

Time Out

"The newest boutique hotel from Avi Brosh, Palihotel sits on Melrose Avenue's prime retail shopping strip." Full review

Gayot

"It's about time the flourishing Fairfax District got a hip hotel to compete with the Farmer's Daughter."

BlackBook

"An honest-to-goodness boutique hotel, the intimate, 32-room Palihotel is located quite conveniently amidst the Melrose retail and restaurant mayhem."

Fodor's

"This design-centric boutique property on lively Melrose Avenue is in the heart of Hollywood's best shopping and dining and contains Hollywood's dining hot-spot, Hart and the Hunter." Full review

Condé Nast Traveler

"Conspicuously, sweetly ironic. The rough-wood facade makes the two-story building look like an oversized log cabin plunked down in the middle of L.A.'s Fairfax district." Full review

Jetsetter

"Boho-glam hipster haven with a dialed-down vibe and lively Lowcountry restaurant." Full review

Travel + Leisure

"With just 32 rustic-eclectic rooms, this petite boutique's amenities are surprisingly robust." Full review

"As for the rooms, they’re spacious and simple, with quirky design flourishes like antique portraits and velvet settees adding personality to an otherwise straightforwardly comfortable design." Full review
