Westwood & Brentwood are separated by the 405 freeway and are a straight shot from LAX. The beaches lie about 20 minutes west and West Hollywood 20 minutes east, making it a great base location for exploring Los Angeles.
Westwood
Built in 1946 in a style that can only be described as romantic Mediterranean, the Hotel Bel-Air, with its rose-colored mission-style bungalows, is about as elite a hideaway as you can find. Hidden by bougainvillea, ficus, orange blossom, and fern, on eighteen acres right in the middle of LA's most exclusive suburb, the grounds are mapped by terracotta passageways, and the reception area lies just beyond an arched stone bridge.

Some stylish boutique hotels are a little disappointing once you get past the lobby, but this is not a problem the Luxe has. If anything the rooms are even more stylish than the public spaces, and they're long on comfort as well. The look is sleek and contemporary, the interiors clearly designed rather than just decorated, and a full-service spa completes the urban-resort package — just minutes from the Getty Center or UCLA, with Santa Monica an easy drive away.

The clean lines and rich earthy tones look perfectly at ease in the LA sunshine, lending some grown-up gravity to this whimsical round boutique hotel, and the typically friendly and attentive service doesn't hurt either.
