- The London West Hollywood is a five-star British import centrally located at the intersection of West Hollywood and Beverly Hills, with a stunning rooftop pool and incredible city views.
- Every room is a 725-square-foot suite, with pricing determined by view. Rates start in the mid-$300s and include breakfast, offering a competitive value that's hard to match in a neighborhood renowned for luxury - and the high prices that often accompany such grandeur.
- I spent a night in a Crown suite and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone planning to visit Hollywood that prefers a high-end hotel but doesn't want to spend a fortune.

One of the best things about living in the same city as my extended family is not having to brave the holiday travel crowds. On Thanksgiving weekend, I stayed put at home in Los Angeles. And thanks to grandparents who were game for a sleepover with our twins, my husband and I made a staycation out of it, with a festive overnight stay just miles from home at The London West Hollywood.
It was my first booking at the property, which I've visited many times for events and afternoon tea. The latter of which is actually great with kids. I once went with my daughter to check out the special "magical" version with a unicorn theme meant just for children. It was too adorable.
The all-suite property lists rates starting in the mid-$300s for the 725-square-foot London Suites. With an accessible pricepoint and spacious rooms, it's an ideal fit for both families traveling with a large brood, as well as couples who want to spread out on a romantic escape.
That price - never mind for the sprawling room size - makes it highly competitive for a luxury property in prime Beverly Hills real estate, where hotels of the same caliber typically start hundreds higher. Better yet, it includes complimentary European breakfast for guests. A similar spread could easily tack on $100 for two people elsewhere.
We found the hotel mostly empty on the holiday weekend, and it ended up working in our favor. We were upgraded from a London suite to a Crown suite on check-in, given the ample availability. These suites might go for about $100 more per night, starting in the $400s.
While my room was comped for review purposes, it still proves an exceptionally good value for a high-end suite in equally posh surrounds.
