Considering Hollywood’s obsession with beauty and weight, celebrities sure know where to get some of the most decadent meals in town. While Los Angeles happens to have a revolving door of hip, new restaurants on any given block, next time you’re visiting the City of Angels, you might not have to wander further than your hotel’s lobby to eat at one of the most posh restaurants in the city.

Saam at the SLS Hotel at Beverly Hills
Renowned chef José Andrés operates The Bazaar at the SLS Hotel, which is a worldly collection of lounge spaces serving up cuisine and cocktails trendy enough to be one step ahead of the rest of the L.A. culinary scene. One of the jewels of this collection is the tasting room, Saam. Andrés’ eclectic tasting menu consists of unique takes on everyday favorites, such as bagel and lox steam buns and Philly cheesesteaks, and more adventurous fare, like lotus root chips and Wagyu beef cheeks. Be sure to spend some time perusing the wine list—it’s 27 pages long!

The Bridge at The Roosevelt
Move over, Whole Foods. The opening of The Bridge at The Roosevelt this past summer confirms that the farmers market is indeed the hip place to shop for all things local and organic, whether you’re shopping for groceries or supplying the ingredients to put together the ever-changing menu at L.A.’s newest “it” restaurant. Adeptly named for its location on the Marilyn Monroe Bridge, The Bridge serves up its fresh dishes on a modern, patio-like area overlooking the pool. While the menu changes weekly, expect delish food that won’t break the bank, like chilled avocado soup, grilled lamb chops and butterscotch parfait.

Simon LA at Sofitel Los Angeles
Iron Chef vet Kerry Simon is no stranger to satisfying hungry hotel patrons—Simon’s eponymous restaurants are also located at The Palms in Las Vegas and the Hilton Atlantic City. His Los Angeles effort goes after that spot in your stomach that still yearns for mom’s home cooking. With comfort food like tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches, Black Angus burgers, roasted chicken and margherita pizza, Simon LA knows how to hit the spot without making your meal seem like last night’s leftovers.

Restaurant at Sunset Marquis
Grab a seat under the stars with that someone special and prepare to delight in chef Guillaume Burlion’s culinary magic. The simplicity of Restaurants’ name isn’t an indication of Burlion’s ability in the kitchen, but rather his aptitude at turning ordinary ingredients into edible works of art. The menu changes to feature seasonal ingredients, but regardless of what time of year it is, prepare your taste buds for the likes of Chinese duck breast marinated in green tea and served with caramelized potatoes with a plum reduction; miso crusted black cod with Japanese squash; and individual lamb loin “tarts” with roasted eggplant and spring heirloom tomato concasse.

The Blvd at The Beverly Wilshire
The Beverly Wilshire may be a common locale for the filming of HBO’s “Entourage,” but don’t expect any Johnny Drama-like pretension at The Blvd. Open from 6:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. everyday, this celebrity-favorite overlooks the famous intersection of Wilshire Boulevard and Rodeo Drive. Sit inside to enjoy the high ceilings or on the sidewalk patio to people watch. Chef Perfecto Rocher lives up to his name by creating signature dishes that add Spanish touches to traditional California cuisine. Vegetable ragu, sweet potato salad, foie gras, pan-seared salmon and rack of lamb are just a few examples of the savory dishes you can expect to find on the menu at The Blvd.
