Best Rooms In LA

Out of All the Rooms in Los Angeles TripKick has seen, these 5 stand out for their respective Categories

Trendy Boutique - The London West Hollywood

TripKick Preferred Rooms: Rooms ending in “07″

This Hotel just opened and is one of our Favorites in the Party Scene West Hollywood Area.  The preferred corner 07 rooms have the best views of West Hollywood and even a glimpse of Downtown LA on a rare smog clear day.  The bathroom is large, designed by Waterworks, with all white mosaic tiles and an oversized bathtub with a dual walk in shower.  Be sure to check out the Roof Top Pool, some of the best views in all of LA!

Hip & Trendy - Thompson Beverly Hills Hotel

TripKick Preferred Rooms: Rooms ending in “11″ or “22″

Newly Opened Thompson Hotel exudes the style and sophistication of the Hip & Trendy Scene in Los Angeles; located in the Heart of Beverly Hills and a walking distance to all the designer shops and gourmet restaurants.  These two corner rooms are oversized rooms with the most preferred views, “11″ of the Hollywood Hills, and “22″ of Downtown LA.

Family Getaway - Shutters on the Beach

TripKick Preferred Rooms: Rooms ending in “47″

Fantastic California Craftsman Style Hotel that sits right on Santa Monica Beach.  It’s a stones throw from both the Santa Monica Pier, 3rd St. Promenade, and Main St.  They just completed a renovation of their Pool area and although the “47″ rooms are in the Ocean House, these corner rooms are close to the Pool and have great views of the Beach/Pier.

Quiet & Serene - Mosaic Hotel Beverly Hills

TripKick Preferred Room: Room “225″

Wonderful boutique hotel with only 49 rooms that makes Los Angeles seem to slow down.  Located on a mostly residential street, still within walking distance to the Beverly Hills Shops, makes you feel like you’ve just arrived at your 2nd home.  Room 225, located in the outdoor building, sits right above the pool and is used as one of the Bedrooms of the Presidential Suite; however it can be booked separately.  We highly recommend this hotel/room for those looking to be in LA without the stress of LA.

Upscale Business Hotel - InterContinental Los Angeles Century City

TripKick Preferred Rooms: Rooms ending in “39″

Located in the heart of Century City, the Westside’s Downtown, this hotel is ideal for the business traveler.  The design is understated elegance, great lobby bar, and Wi-Fi through the hotel.  We choose the “39″ rooms due to their size, separate living and bedroom, they are corner rooms, and their superior views of Los Angeles.

Atlanta is Next

Atlanta’s hotel list is innovative, fresh and one that continues to grow each year! TripKick is excited about launching this new destination in the coming weeks! We have spent the last couple of weeks touring hotels, seeing the latest and greatest members of the Atlanta hotel scene. There are a few hotels in particular which are worth mentioning, as they are either newcomers to the market, or have recently undergone impressive renovations. We think you’re going to like what Atlanta has to offer, especially when it comes to hotels!

The Ritz-Carlton Atlanta Located in the heart of Downtown Atlanta, The Ritz-Carlton Atlanta has recently unveiled a new guest room experience, complete with new technology enhancements, contemporary furnishings and rooms that take a complete departure from the old. Ritz has taken fresh turn in room design at this property, while also preserving a level of elegance that one would expect from the brand. Service here is simply amazing, as evident by our dining experience while visiting this hotel.

The Ritz-Carlton Buckhead: The Ritz-Carlton Buckhead is located in the prestigious community of Buckhead, just fifteen minutes from Downtown. Guest rooms at this property have also taken a new turn, by playing on the classic elegance of Georgian style, while also updating the old look. These rooms will really knock your socks off. For true indulgence, try booking a “Luxury Suite” complete with a bathroom that comes stocked with Bath Salts that probably cost as much as a standard room rate! Suite bathrooms have separate showers and bathtubs, while standard rooms come equipped with stand alone seamless glass showers. Rooms with 2 Double Beds have a shower/bathtub combination. The lobby has not yet undergone a renovation, but rumor has it that the hotel will maintain a classic traditional look with a few updates and refinements.

The Mansion on Peachtree: Also located in Buckhead, the Mansion is one of Atlanta’s newest properties, boasting some of the most sophisticated accommodations available in the city. With less than 130 rooms and suites, the Mansion offers the ultimate in privacy and luxury. We were particularly impressed with the bathrooms, as most offer windows for added lighting, as well as separate showers and bathtubs. What’s truly notable with these rooms however is the “hidden television” feature, which might leave you guessing where to find your TV. The Mansion has hidden their guest room televisions in a portrait, yes the TV is also an art piece! Hit the button, and artwork transforms into a TV… wow.

W Atlanta Midtown What can we say, W has done it again. This time though, we think W has really outdone themselves, as this property might just offer some of the best rooms in the chain. There is little or no resemblance of its days as a Sheraton, honestly, none! We’ve all seen bad hotel transformations, but this one is not. W has spent an incredible amount of money, essentially transforming the W Atlanta Midtown into a brand new hotel. Rooms are incredibly well finished with true hip W Style. Every comfort imaginable is at your disposal. All King Bedded rooms offer Stand Up Glass showers, while Suites offer huge Rainforest style showers with a window view of the bedroom. This is definitely one to check out.

Stay tuned for Atlanta Hotels!
