W Hollywood, first look
W Exterior
The W Hollywood is a wonderful new addition to the Los Angeles hotel scene, and we’d like to share our first look with you! In keeping with the hip traditions of W, the W Hollywood is no exception- it’s hip, groovy and oh so Hollywood.
As you probably already know, W’s are know for their whimsical approach to building hotels- incorporating a fun, modern theme while also reflecting the unique style of their destination. W Hollywood is located on the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame, just a short walk from Hollywood Boulevard and Highland, home to the Kodak Theatre (where the Academy Awards take place every year) The location is ideal for visitors or business travelers alike. The immediate area itself is still growing, but the location offers easy access to most major sites in Los Angeles.
The W Hollywood “Living Room”, aka Lobby
The W Hollywood is comprised of both guest room and residences, separated into two buildings. There are 265 Guest Rooms and 40 Suites in total, some offering views of The Hollywood Sign & Hollywood Boulevard. Standard Guest Rooms range in size from 380-500 Sq. Ft. depending on the location and category, and suites go up to 1,600 Sq. Ft., some of which offer outdoor terraces.
While every category is special in our eyes (we couldn’t resist the W beds, always a treat), we really liked the Cool Corner Suites “Rooms Ending in 01″. Cool Corner Suites offer a unique floor plan, corner location and spectacular views of the Hollywood Sign! Regardless of which room type you reserve, you’ll enjoy comfy beds (with feather beds & the best linens), walk-in glass showers (with window to the bedroom, don’t worry- it’s partially frosted), flat screen televisions, an impressive mini-bar offering and several other fun W goodies.

If the guest room experience isn’t cool enough, be sure to check out the Rooftop Pool. Often “the place” to be seen, the pool offers cabana service as well as a full outdoor bar and restaurant. Lounge around the pool, or take a dip- you’re certain to be entertained.
The W Hollywood is also home to Drai’s Hollywood, a now famous nightspot for celebrity gawking and just having a good time. Drai’s is located on the hotel rooftop.
What we really liked about W Hollywood:
- Innovative Guest Rooms with Lots of Features, Comfy Beds & Fantastic Walk-In Showers
- Brand new build; W Hollywood has the luxury of being a brand new hotel- so everything has that fresh smell we love!
- W Acura Experience, The W will take you anywhere, complimentary, within 2 miles of the hotel
- The Rooftop Pool “Wet”, you’re certain to have some good people watching, maybe even a celebrity or two
- Convenient location with easy in/out, surrounding streets aren’t too crowded like most LA streets
The W Hollywood is a wonderful LA getaway hotel, offering an abundance of luxury and cool at the same time. Guest rooms extremely comfortable with a wide range of amenities designed to suit the frequent business traveler or the weekend jetsetter.
