As you know, TripKick currently features the Los Angeles Area, however the Palomar is a newcomer to the LA hotel scene, and we’re excited to show you what it’s all about.

The Palomar, a Kimpton Hotel, is located in Westwood, just minutes from UCLA, Beverly Hills and beyond.  This central west side location allows guests easy access to some of LA’s best spots.  The Palomar boasts sophisticated LA style throughout, from lobby design to guest room appointments.  The Palmoar summoned the help of famed designer Cheryl Rowley, and she’s done a wonderful job of transforming this property into something refined yet fun.

The accommodations are well designed, albeit a bit small.  That being said, the overall room design and decor give the impression that the room is adequately sized.  Guest bathrooms are well appointed, and standard guest rooms feature shower/bathtub combinations, while King Spa Suites offer oversized bathrooms with separate showers and soaking tubs.  We recommend reserving a “Vista Guest Rooms” which on a clear day offers views of the Pacific Ocean and West Los Angeles.  Standard Guest rooms on the opposite side of the building overlook Wilshire Boulevard, and although adequately insulated from noise, provide a less desirable view.

All in all, The Palomar is a wonderful new addition to the Los Angeles Hotel Scene, and one we think you’ll enjoy for any occassion.
