Sunset Strip’s original rock ‘n’ roll hotel, Andaz West Hollywood (formerly Hyatt on Sunset), underwent a US$7 million renovation to become one of Los Angeles’ hottest urban hangouts. While it remains connected to its musical heritage, it’s rooftop pool and sundeck (the highest in the city), farm-to-table restaurants, and chic, minimalist design incorporating a covetable local art collection make it an oasis far from the rockstar-related madness that once ensued there.
After closure amid the pandemic, Andaz West Hollywood reopened this summer, enhancing the safety of its 239 rooms and suites, restaurants and pool to ensure that guests feel reassured in these unprecedented times. The little luxuries remain: private poolside cabanas; spacious rooms and suites with unrivalled views of the Hollywood Hills, Sunset Strip and Downtown LA; and restaurant Riot House Market serving up California-inspired cuisine and cocktails to the room or pool.
This reaches its pinnacle in the hotel’s penthouse suite, with its living and dining room, wrap-around balcony, and floor to ceiling glass windows. As of this year, the space features a collaboration with British hi-fi manufacturer, Naim Audio, to create a seamless multi-zone music experience – a nod to the hotel’s heritage that saw guests include artists Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Duran Duran, and The Doors. Here’s where to make a home from home when a change of scene is calling.
