The London West Hollywood at Beverly Hills – West Hollywood, California

The London West Hollywood at Beverly Hills Review

Last Updated: February 26, 2026

An All-Suite Retreat with Rooftop Privacy Above the Sunset Strip
For travelers seeking spacious suite accommodations with discreet celebrity appeal, The London West Hollywood offers a refined residential experience just above the Sunset Strip. I stayed for two nights in mid-March in a Vista Suite on a high floor facing south toward Beverly Hills. This was a self-funded stay.

Location

Located on North San Vicente Boulevard, the hotel sits at the quiet edge of West Hollywood, walking distance to Sunset Boulevard yet removed from its late-night noise. The elevation provides unobstructed skyline views stretching toward Beverly Hills and, on clear days, faint Pacific horizon lines.

This positioning makes it ideal for guests who want proximity to Beverly Hills shopping without staying directly on Wilshire.

Rooms & Suites

Every accommodation at The London is suite-style. My Vista Suite featured a long entry corridor leading into a separate living area with a sectional sofa and writing desk. Floor-to-ceiling windows filled the space with late-afternoon golden light.

The bedroom is fully partitioned — a key distinction from many “junior suites” in Los Angeles. Bedding included crisp white linens and a substantial upholstered headboard that muted hallway sound effectively.

The marble bathroom was notably oversized, with dual vanities, a deep soaking tub, and a separate glass shower. Water pressure was strong and consistent during peak morning hours — an often overlooked luxury detail.

Private terraces in higher-category suites provide sweeping city views and added discretion for long-stay or high-profile guests.

Rooftop Pool & Guest-Only Deck

The rooftop pool deck is restricted to hotel guests — a rarity in Los Angeles where many rooftops operate as public day clubs. Cushioned loungers are generously spaced, and ambient music remains subdued.

Morning hours are particularly serene. From my lounger, the skyline framed downtown Los Angeles in the distance while palm trees softened the immediate foreground. The controlled access enhances privacy, which likely contributes to the property’s celebrity appeal.

Dining

Boxwood

The on-property restaurant, Boxwood, serves seasonal California cuisine. Breakfast includes both buffet and à la carte options. Service during my stay was attentive without hovering — coffee refills arrived before I had to request them.

Outdoor terrace seating captures the morning sun and feels residential rather than theatrical.

Celebrity Sightings

The hotel’s all-suite layout and guest-only rooftop contribute to its reputation for discretion. Rumored celebrity sightings include Gwen Stefani, Bella Hadid, and Justin Bieber. Staff maintain a composed, non-intrusive demeanor consistent with high-profile clientele.

Filming Location

The long-running California-centric teen drama 90210 filmed scenes at the hotel, leveraging its rooftop and contemporary interiors to represent upscale Los Angeles living.

Service Experience

Check-in was completed in under five minutes with an offer of bottled water and a concise overview of rooftop hours. Housekeeping was punctual and thorough; turndown service included neatly arranged slippers beside the bed — a small but thoughtful touch.

Valet retrieval averaged approximately six minutes during peak evening hours.

Who Should Stay Here

Ideal for couples, entertainment industry professionals, and extended-stay guests who prioritize space and privacy. The all-suite configuration makes it particularly well-suited for business travelers hosting in-room meetings.

Pros & Considerations

Pros: True suite accommodations, guest-only rooftop, strong privacy factor, proximity to both West Hollywood and Beverly Hills.
Considerations: Contemporary aesthetic may feel less historic than classic Beverly Hills estates.

Final Verdict

The London West Hollywood at Beverly Hills distinguishes itself through scale and privacy rather than spectacle. Its all-suite format and controlled-access rooftop create a discreet luxury experience that contrasts with more scene-driven properties nearby. For travelers seeking residential comfort with elevated skyline views, it remains one of the most compelling luxury hotels in West Hollywood.
