Best Hotels in Los Angeles (2026)

Choosing where to stay in Los Angeles shapes your whole trip, because getting across the city takes time. For luxury, Hotel Bel-Air hides in twelve acres of gardens, The Beverly Hills Hotel on Sunset Boulevard is the original Pink Palace, and Shutters on the Beach sits right on the sand in Santa Monica. These suit travellers who want calm, service and a sense of occasion.

In Hollywood, The Hollywood Roosevelt puts you on the Walk of Fame in the hotel that hosted the first Academy Awards. Downtown, Hotel Figueroa is a restored 1926 landmark near the arena and convention centre, and The Hoxton occupies a historic building on Broadway with a rooftop pool. Both are well placed for the Metro. At the beach, Hotel Erwin in Venice is steps from the boardwalk, and the HI Los Angeles Santa Monica hostel offers dorms and private rooms a few blocks from the pier. Santa Monica and Venice suit beach lovers, Hollywood suits sightseeing and nightlife, and Downtown suits museums and public transport. Check for parking charges and resort fees when you book.
