The 10 Best Luxury Hotels Near Los Angeles in 2023

Brie Greenhalgh Last Updated: November 9, 2022

Luxury hotels seem to be on every corner of the top destinations near Los Angeles. You’ll find 4 and 5-star decadence in hotels that exude a traditional warm aura, minimalist, swanky, or even boutique style. We’ve put together a list of some of the best luxury hotels near Los Angeles if you’re staying outside of downtown. (You can check out our list for luxury downtown LA hotels here!) Here you can explore beachfront properties and hotels on the iconic Sunset Strip in West Hollywood. You’re sure to find somewhere amazing to stay.


Our Partnership with Booking.com. If you like our content, please book by clicking on our Booking.com links. The price is the same for you and we get a small commission that helps support our blog. We’ve partnered with Booking.com because they have the most options, great prices, and a solid loyalty program. Just about every hotel is on Booking so our recommendations are not incentivized.

Top 10 Luxury Hotels Near Los Angeles

Los Angeles attracts business travelers and tourists all year long, and they don’t all stay in downtown LA. In fact, staying in West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, or Santa Monica is just as popular (if not more) than staying in DTLA. That’s why we’re dedicating this entire list to luxury hotels near the city of Los Angeles for anyone not planning to spend much time in the heart of LA.

Our top choices include hotels with impeccable rooms, excellent service, and an air of exclusivity—an LA specialty. Staying in a top hotel makes your trip even more memorable and relaxing no matter why you’re heading to this magical area. If you need even more options of where to stay in LA (and suggestions of where to eat and what to do), be sure to check out that article too!

This posh hotel is located just a few blocks from Rodeo Drive where you can shop to your heart’s content. It’s surrounded by lush gardens for a serene vibe, and many rooms have great views of Hollywood Hills. We love that each room has French doors and private balconies to enjoy the cool California evenings.

It’s also the only hotel to win the coveted AAA Five Diamond and Forbes Five Star-rated hotel award every single year since 1993. You’re guaranteed an incredible stay here. And we have to mention that this hotel is where you’ll find the famous French-American Belvedere restaurant that Hollywood elites enjoy, too.

$$+ | 4 Star | Swanky Artistic Vibes | Rooftop Pool | Hot Social Scene

You might not consider the Andaz on most luxury hotel lists, but it’s made a name for itself as an upscale hotel with a different vibe than traditional luxury hotels. (And LA is all about unique.) This hotel has an infamous history as a rock ‘n’ roll mainstay, and some of that history has remained with the social scene you’ll find on the rooftop pool. The decor is minimalist but accented with vibrant art and decor that keeps things light and youthful.

Every room is at least 750 square feet so you have plenty of space for families, friends, or meetings. You’ll love the perfect location too: just off Sunset Strip of West Hollywood and right next to Beverly Hills.

At this stunning hotel, almost every room faces the marina for memorable sunset views. There’s something for everyone here, too. You can indulge in a spa treatment, swim in the heated outdoor pool, play tennis or basketball, or rent a bicycle to head over to Santa Monica.

$$$$+ | 5 Star | Mediterranean-California Fusion | Beachfront Luxury | Romantic Vibes

As the sister property to Shutters on the Beach, Casa del Mar holds a special place as a top luxury beach hotel in Santa Monica. It tastefully blends Mediterranean villa designs with cool California vibes to make an unforgettable stay. You can dine al fresco on the beach, borrow a bicycle to ride the Santa Monica boardwalk or book an appointment at the spa. We also love the live music on weekends and the numerous restaurant and bar options. It’s truly a beach paradise.

This coastal California luxury hotel near Los Angeles doesn’t miss a beat. Cool, beachy, bohemian neutrals are incredibly inviting in each room. You’re just minutes from the beach and the Third Street Promenade, but you have spectacular views from the rooftop pool. The Calabra restaurant patio on the roof is likely the best rooftop restaurant in Santa Monica. Be sure to join a morning yoga class to get your day started right.
