Pendry West Hollywood

Pendry West Hollywood

Pendry West Hollywood takes up a full city block on the Sunset Strip, ten floors of Martin Brudnizki-designed rooms wrapped around a rooftop pool and bar. Walk out the door and the Comedy Store, Piazza del Sol and the old Liberace Home are a few minutes on foot, the kind of neighbourhood where the sidewalk doubles as the show. What sets this hotel apart from the Strip's other five-star names is the mix of things under one roof: multiple restaurants and bars from Wolfgang Puck, a private screening room, a live entertainment venue and a bowling alley, alongside Spa Pendry and a fitness center for anyone who'd rather work off the night before than talk about it. The 149 rooms and suites run from a compact 334 square feet up to a three-bedroom Pendry Suite at 1,668 square feet, most with balconies or terraces, all with air conditioning, mini bars and blackout blinds for whichever time zone you're still on. Pets are welcome, for a fee and a 150 dollar deposit, and rooms with wheelchair access and an elevator are part of the standard offering, not an afterthought. This suits someone who wants nightlife within stumbling distance but still wants a quiet room and decent water pressure at the end of it, less someone chasing a beach resort hush or a bargain rate, since extra beds alone run 50 dollars a night. Check-in is 4pm, checkout noon, front desk staffed around the clock, concierge and tour desk on hand for whatever the Strip doesn't explain itself. It's a hotel built for people who came to Los Angeles to be in the middle of something, not away from it. A full city block on the Sunset Strip, ten floors, a rooftop pool, a bowling alley and Wolfgang Puck's kitchens under one roof. Built for guests who want the Strip's noise nearby and a quiet room to close the door on it, not for anyone chasing hush or a bargain.
