Had an amazing time at the bar during a break from meetings. My bartender Jon was extremely friendly and provided top tier service and a great cocktail. I'll definitely be making this a staple when I'm in the Weho area read more

My husband and I enjoyed our stay here for anniversary. From the moment of our reservation until check out, we were taken care of extremely well. Our suite was gorgeous, they spared no expense to make it a memorable trip for us. I love the pool as well as the restaurant, the amenities are wonderful here. The location stellar, you are in the middle of everything and can walk to get everywhere easily. The prices are very fair considering the service they offer, I cannot wait to be back again! read more

Do not stay here. Darrel the employee is so rude. My best friend bought a SUITE for her birthday which 5 of our friends came up to celebrate and they were quick to come up and make two girls leave.

We're strolling off the "shit caked" streets of Sunset Boulevard...as I'm staring at a pile about to push the crosswalk button I'm starting to wonder if that actually came from a dog ... please let that be dog shit...the air is a lot grimmer these days...a man in surf board shorts is screaming from the top of his lungs as he searches through a trash filled container...hotels stopped rinsing off their sidewalks because "what's the point" ... they'll just be back tomorrow ... the revellers ... the destitute... the drunks...ready to piss all over your sidewalk one new day after another...jeez... that's a pretty grim picture ... but it doesn't have to be...this is Sunset... it takes a thick skin to graze this boulevard... but it's still a hella a lot of fun... it's always been ... Far removed from the 80s and 90s when things were more respectable among the comedians and rockers and star fuckers of the world... the star map vans... the out of towners hoping to catch a glimpse of a celebrity ... a ghost even... of a man or a woman that has filled their television screens in their lonely small towns across America... here they ride one last ride to lasso in that picture of fame and take with them back home a memory or a conquest of something magical... someone special... something "Hollywood" ...well not much has changed on Sunset... We scurry in from the detritus...and find a happy solace at the Sunset Tower ... the sweet lady hostess lets us in anyway as I think 3pm is the cut off for outside guests...so we ask what type of desserts they have... She says "we only have home made cookies now..." Chocolate Chip and Oatmeal... she says... I'm home again... It's quiet here... small potted palm trees adorn the seating rooms center stage...the pool is cold and empty and hangs low over a huge Mega Screen depicting Joaquin Phoenix's new film NAPOLEON...but it's not ominous here.. that was outside ... inside the crystal clear blue water from the pool sits calmly serenely overlooking the Culver City high rises and Saban's bubble venue Theater... the contrailed riddled sky can't hide all the blue the Los Angeles sky has to offer... and suddenly the sun starts to break through the clouds... A cappuccino will couple nicely on a quaint afternoon... it's so quiet inside here.. the waiters are warm and friendly ... the guests are smiling and imbibing afternoon cocktails; prepping their wedding parties; a writers group congregates over a booth... it's friendly here ... I tell one of the waiters that's he's rocking a trend setting mullet the likes of which I have to say ... was pretty darn cool... and he laughs and agrees... it was an epic mullet and yet cool af... The French accented waiter tells me the top penthouse could go for $2500 to $3000 depending on the days and the plans; some stage dinner parties there... and back in the 20's ... the ROARING 20's mind you... I'm sure those open terraced rooms hosted the likes of Hollywood Stars; Producers; and Directors of films that you and I watch every Christmas or New Year snuggled around our cozy television sets... Today all I need though is another bite of this oat meal cookie... the black and white stills of days of Hollywood past adorn the walls... "here's looking at you kid..." I feel the veins of Old Hollywood here... the ghosts... they possess you a little here... We're traveling back in time...it's a lovely afternoon and the cookies are fine... the coffee is fine... I'm feeling a hell of a lot better now... And back out we go! read more

My friend and I were meeting for drinks. She's visiting from London so I thought the bar area with its pretty view would be lovely. However the room was closed for a private event and the alternate bar area was like a broom closet. We were up against a heavy brown velvet curtain where they were vacuuming the dining room on the other side. Not a good vibe for a Saturday night cocktail. Aside from zero ambience, they don't even have a small bowl of nuts, or chips, like most hotel bars do. Of course it's expensive for drinks and expensive to valet park. But there was no added value. I wish we'd gone to Chateau Marmont instead. I won't be back! read more

If you like comfort, top notch amenities in a relaxed low key luxurious environment, this is your place. The location is my favorite. I'm not a tourist by all means. I've lived here my entire adult life, I know where to go and what to avoid. Traveling to LA can be tricky. You can go wrong around the area. The most fun and vibrant for all ages. Weekend brunch is a must. The view is stunning. Enjoy and if you are looking for solid restaurants check out my likes. read more

Great hotel, great ambience, and atmosphere and very historic. You really feel like you're going back in time on the sunset strip. The hotel rooms are obviously outdated, but the aesthetics of everything is amazing and so is the restaurants inside. read more

This was our second stay at the Sunset Tower Hotel and we enjoyed it immensely. The service was fantastic and we received a complete upgrade to a corner suite. The room was spotless and beautiful and the view was spectacular. We absolutely love this place. Our brunch at the onsite restaurant was great as well. Excellent place to stay! read more

Sunset Tower Hotel - Amazing accommodations! - Hotels Near Me - West Hollywood, California

Like an aging Hollywood starlet past her prime, the Sunset Tower clings to faded glamour. Its chipped wood paneling, faded cushion covers and moldy poolside walls are masked by dim lighting after dark--insufficient attempts to hide the wear. The clientele is equally uninspired, a parade of self-important Z-list actors and slimy producers who are as obnoxious as the establishment's overpriced yet mediocre fare. Certainly not the worst offense in hospitality, but what makes the Sunset Tower truly insufferable is its erratic treatment of customers, which, as another reviewer noted, could switch drastically from over-the-top fake friendliness to astonishingly disrespectful, depending entirely on the guest's perceived status--a practice that comes across as both schizophrenic and classless. The Sunset Tower's haughty pretentiousness might be forgivable if it were backed by even a shred of quality. Do yourself a favor and skip this tired, uninspired relic. Head to Dante or The Maybourne in Beverly Hills for true class and quality. read more

Came in the other day to ask about reservations for a birthday celebration at the bar. While speaking with the front desk I politely asked if I could quickly use the restroom. Out of nowhere, a very rude security guard who was sitting down on his phone interrupted (I wasn't even speaking to him) and told us to get off the property. The front desk woman was clearly caught off guard and looked uncomfortable like she was too embarrassed to say anything. Because of how awkward and hostile it became we just left. Then the same security guard followed us outside and told us we couldn't even stand on the public sidewalk while waiting for our driver. I was honestly in shock by how we were treated (like we were loitering or doing something wrong when we weren't.) I've stayed in and visited hotels all over the world, from NYC to Switzerland and I've never experienced anything like this. It's a beautiful building, but the experience was completely ruined by one security guard with a really ugly attitude who clearly thinks he runs the place. Very disappointing and not the kind of treatment you'd expect from a hotel like this. I'm now on the fence deciding if I should still consider a special celebration here read more

TOWER BURGER!! The gift that keeps on giving, if you're ever at Sunset Tower for lunch or dinner (preferable lunch cause it's significantly cheaper) you must get the burger. It's the most beautiful experience because there's no other place that serves this type of well season, texture and dressed burger. The fries are incredible and sipping on a martini is a true dream day read more

One of the nicest hotel experiences I've had in a while. While other hotels cut back on service, seems this place stepped it up. Lovely room, with windows that actually open, high quality products, linens, towels, well-stocked room with "free" drinks and alcohol, great valets, everyone treats you well and the room service is well above average and very fast. read more

Wow ! What a gorgeous hotel ! Had been here for drinks in their beautiful bar but never stayed. Decided our last trip to stay here and treat ourselves. Great Idea! The hotel staff are incredible! The rooms are outstanding! The gentleman that delivered the birthday cake to our room and took our luggage so we could shop after checking out was so helpful and friendly - couldn't be nicer! Will definitely be returning to this lovely hotel. read more

West Hollywood is my favorite area and deciding between hotels can be daunting as there are so many options. I narrowed my choices down to Sunset Tower, Andaz, and Mondrian and due to favorable reviews, I chose Sunset Tower Hotel and moving forward, this will be my choice hotel when visiting LA. From the moment I pulled into valet until my departure, the service I was provided was unparalleled and I am not anywhere near celebrity status, so the treatment I was shown made me feel valued as a client; not to mention the handwritten thank you note that was waiting for me with a small box of delicious truffles. As many times as I have stayed/visited the Los Angeles area, I never knew this hotel was so rich in history until I read the book in my room. All of those factors solidified my feeling that I had chosen the right hotel, While some hotels might be more modern, the rooms at sunset, are very nice, cozy and styled more traditionally which is indicative of the culture and glam associated with this hotel. The sunset hotel screams old status versus many others on the block and when you have a hotel on this level, the clientele is a bit more elegant and mature, the employees are usually more seasoned and it seems the turnover is very low if at all. While every employee was fantastic the ones that stood out the most were Eva (front desk) and Angel (Tower Bar). While waiting for my friend, I complimented Eva on her accent and I found out she is from Kenya. We had a lovely, genuine conversation and her smile was always so beautiful. I dined in the tower bar for breakfast every day and even when I was not in his section, Angel always stopped by and asked if there was anything I needed. Obviously, I have nothing but kind words for this place and next year, I will back with my family. read more

Sunset Tower Hotel - Hotels Near Me - West Hollywood, California

Just a classic, historic hotel bar/restaurant to people-watch, enjoy one too many martinis, and listen to live piano on some evenings.

This review is for the bar and restaurant at Sunset Tower Hotel. When you enter through the doors, I went to the right to the bar/restaurant. The staff was quick to keep the drinking bar and lounge area cleaned up so guests could sit to order and drink right away. The vibes were very cute and there was live jazzy(?) music on Saturday night. It felt very old hollywood-y. We ordered off the fixed menu. Caesar salad: 4/5 Branzino: 4/5 The mashed potatoes that came with this was very good and flavorful. The asparagus was roasted well. The branzino's flavors were good. Sorbet trio: 3.5/5 mango, strawberry, lemon. Lemon was very tart. The mango was really good. The strawberry had a lot of seeds in it, and provided texture. I wasn't a fan. read more

John who works at the front door is a horrible dude, horrible customer service. My friends had a table there and a drink ordered and had been there not long at all and he wouldn't let me in. I go all the time- all the staff is super great minus this guy. Pretentious and was making fun of a group of gay guys when they walked out. He claims his is the manager but dont be fooled! read more

Overpriced. Rude manager. Won't ever be going back or hosting another event here. The place needs a serious leadership change.

Steve welcomed us as we drove in to valet park. What a super nice guy, very friendly and accommodating. Our server Tony is a true pro along with all the staff. Truly an enjoyable brunch on Christmas Day. Food was delicious. Service was impeccable. Eva at the front was delightful. Beautiful setting and extremely beautiful hotel with an incredible Hollywood history. Check out all the movie star photos on the walls. One story goes that JOHN WAYNE stayed there with his pet cow so the guests could have fresh milk with their morning coffee. read more

Beautiful hotel next time I will come for dinner. We just arrived as a place to stop after picking up our friend from the airport and our plans were to head out for the evening after having a cocktail and some dessert. Beautiful view wonderful staff loved our little table. Table Klos are so soft and luxurious the people were very pleasant and did not rush us to leave. There was a large party there earlier in the evening and in the bar area it was chock-full when we had arrived. We will come back for dinner in the future. read more

B for Boring. A for Basic B's. I have never seen so many kids at night there in their Sunday Church outfits, not on a Sunday. Saw some hilarious things. I mean, if you haven't gone, you're not missing out. It's funny because our friend was immediately greeted with pleasantries, but the next man who didn't know him told him he should stop trying to sit at a table and that he'd have better luck elsewhere. I mean... I thought the contrast was so funny to watch. People who treat people differently in the field of hospitality make the place look bad. read more

I had a really lovely dinner with my friends. I had the chicken chopped salad. It was delicious. We went next-door to the bar for some drinks. My only complaint is that it was so dark... you can't see anybody! I know that's the aesthetic but I'd like to see people and the drink menue read more

Sunset Tower Hotel - Chicken Chopped Salad - Hotels Near Me - West Hollywood, California

The only reason this venue gets 2 stars is because the staff was overly friendly and extremely accommodating even after we skipped out on dinner mostly because the prices seem insane for what looks like rabbid dog food. We had a few cocktails by their dirty reservoir or rather what was advertised as a "pool" and mingled about in the indoor lounge. It was absolutely dead for a Thursday night which is embarrassing, especially for its prime location on the strip. Clearly sunset's heyday is over so unless you are a washed up z-list actor or dirty New Yorker, you will not be found here. Immediate skip card read more

Came here for Halloween 2020 to mini-celebrate safety with my friends. Also because of the TV show Lucifer (on Netflix) since I am a OC gal and I've always wanted to check out some of the places from the show Echo Park, Sunset Tower, Marina Del Rey etc. Anyway, they only use the outside of the Sunset Tower for the show and CGI the penthouse which I knew before going as well. TIP: Lucifer fans! You can ask for a tour of the penthouse as long as it isn't occupied! :) MY STAY specifically: I was aware of it being a historical iconic hotel, ex-Apartments for the old Hollywood actors and stuff, so I was already aware of how fancy it was. A once in a lifetime stay with some friends, so we got the Queen Suite, which is like the King Suite but with two beds. And wow! It was so beautiful, we had a nice view of the street and the hills across from the random Saddleback Ranch. The suite was smaller than I expected for the price, but it's LA--I guess lol. It's right on the strip so it makes sense. No complains about how the room looked or the bathroom, and the service was amazing down at the bar for breakfast: coffee and a muffin, and my friends and I had our own High Tea ceremony for Halloween. And the hotel helped us with hot water, and a whole tea service cutlery , plates etc. The only CONS I have: I am a person of color, and so are my friends. While the majority of the staff were nice, and it is an upscale hotel, and my friends and I certainly aren't elite. It was surprising that when we pulled up we got asked if we were just coming to eat, and then after checking in that night, we went downstairs to get some stuff out the car, and again we were asked oh are you here to eat? And then in the morning, we came down for breakfast and AGAIN we were asked "oh just stopping by to get something to eat?" And we had to keep telling everyone we were guests of the hotel, and we didn't see anyone else getting stopped and asked this. We also did physically scare a Caucasian couple coming out of an elevator, who was caught off guard by us waiting to use the elevator next, but that's obviously not the hotels fault. Just mentioning my experience in this regard. PROS: wonderful stay, wonderful place, and I am so glad I got to experience this hotel in my lifetime. I'm 27, but I hope to be back someday as I don't live too far. Just pricey! Thanks everyone! read more

This is my second review of the Sunset Tower Bar. i walked by one morning and stopped for breakfast. It was such a great experience on every level. The waiters were very helpful and provided excellent service. I had the avocado toast and coffee. Both were excellent. The part that I love the most is the room. It is one of the best kept and maintained rooms that I have been to in Los Angeles. The views were quite excellent of the pool and the city. If I could, I would set up shop there!! I recommend this to the greatest degree!! read more

Came here for a birthday dinner. The vibes are cozy, romantic and money LOL. They had live music when I visited this establishment. The dishes are ok, of course you are not going to get big portions at this establishment but you are going and paying for the ambiance at this location, not the food. This was my first time and probably last time, it was enjoyable but not a place I would frequent because of the price point for the quality of food you receive. 3 stars because establishment is very pretty and the waitress was very prompt and efficient. Cheers! read more

During a last-minute, one-night stay in Los Angeles, we made a reservation at The Sunset Towers through Amex. The impeccable service, delicious food, and outstanding, knowledgeable staff exceeded our expectations. From our initial call to the hotel, where we spoke with the friendly and witty Daniel, to our experience with Barbara in the dining room, the level of service was exceptional, and we were greeted with nothing but warmth and hospitality. The manager in charge of the staff deserves recognition for maintaining such high standards, as finding such competent and friendly help can be pretty challenging these days. Thank you, Sunset Towers; we look forward to returning! read more

What an oasis! After coming to LA for years, a chance booking brought us to this jewel box of a hotel. When do I photograph bathroom wallpaper? Well, when it's custom gold with iconic images, it's worthy. The team were most attentive and top tier from the valets, front desk to housekeeping help. Oh, and the bed... Fili D'oro sheets, duvet and pillows... Restaurant is $$$ but wonderful food and service. Sunset Towers felt like a much needed respite from full days in bustling LA. read more
