Los Angeles - a city of perpetual glamour, high-rollers and Hollywood stardom. Projecting an ineffable magnetism for the stars, socialites and wealthy of the world, Los Angeles demands the city’s establishments cater to the whims of the discerning clientele. It is no wonder, therefore, that LA is home to some of the most luxurious hotels in the world. Offering some of the very best hospitality, architecture, amenities, service and histories, LA’s decadent pervades every aspect of its hotels. Check out this guide below to the best luxury stays in Los Angeles. 

 

Chateau Marmont

The name, Chateau Marmont, may be familiar to you. Its long history of service to the stars of Hollywood has coloured its name with famous and infamous tales. The walls of this establishment have been privy to the celebrations, tragedies and drama of LA’s popular crowds. Priding itself on its discretion, Chateau Marmont has retained its trendiness amongst LA’s modern, sociable elite. Maintaining a South-of-France, paradise-in-the-sun sense of 20th century decadence, the Chateau features beautiful European architecture with high-ceilings and cozy corners . The patio and pool area remain one of the best places in Los Angeles to socialise, and the drinks aren’t too shabby either. For an all-round LA introduction to the Hollywood lifestyle, Chateau Marmont is the place to stay.

Montage Beverly Hills

The European palatial architecture is complete with marble floors, glistening hanging chandeliers and the service to match the hotel’s grandeur. Harmonising the Old World and the New, the Montage sports incredible facilities throughout its 201 rooms and 55 suites. Each room is fitted with a marble-tiled bathroom and the highest quality of amenities to please the most discerning of travelling clients. Whilst you may feel so relaxed in the room, the hotel offers a stunning rooftop pool, a 20,000 square feet luxury spa and a comprehensive whiskey bar on the second floor that specialises in Single Malt. No expense is spared as guests are served whisky in glasses cut by the illustrious, French glassmaker, Lalique, and served a glass of champagne upon arrival as an authentically LA welcome.

Hotel Casa del Mar

Located in a prime Santa Monica beach location, Casa del Mar brings an Italian palazzo to the heart of California’s most desirable city. The Italian romanticism defines the design style with interior rooms facing a charming internal courtyard that fills with light under the warm Californian sunshine, and cools for an evening drink just outside of the room’s double French-windows. The soft linens, marble bathrooms, four-poster beds and sea breeze, make this a standout stay in a quintessential luxury urban hotel. The stunning views on the hotel’s Pacific side make for an uplifting start to the day’s activities of luxuriating around the pool, eating at the romantic Catch restaurant and listening to the dulcet tones of the live band in the Cabana Lounge.

The Beverly Hills Hotel

Staying here is the definition of the red-carpet treatment, both figuratively and literally. The red carpet welcomes guests to a stay fit for the stars, quintessentially Hollywood and the epitome of the Beverly Hills lifestyle. The hotel’s bright pink walls and gardens have been shown in popular media for decades, making them as instrumental to the idea of Hollywood as the sign itself. The hotel was renovated in 2015 to maintain its highest standards of modernity and amenities, aspects that have contributed to its status within the upper-echelons with British Royalty, The Beatles and countless award-winning stars choosing The Beverly Hills Hotel as their hotel of choice. The rooms are fitted with polished, parquet flooring and a chic blend of 60s and modern décor. Find everything you may ever need for a hotel stay or simply make a request and the brilliant service will endeavour to provide for you.

Shutters on the Beach

Considered in the same vein as Hotel Casa del Mar for their similar beach-front locations, Shutters has come to be an iconic hotel in Los Angeles. The hotel’s design takes inspiration from beach houses of the wealthy East Coasters, be it Rhode Island, the Hamptons, Cape Cod or in the Carolinas, the white exterior, window-shutters, and pastel colour scheme are used to make this hotel feel like a slice of home. The hotel’s interior décor was designed by Michael Smith, the same gentleman who redesigned Obama's White House residence. Whilst only the more expensive suites have a view of Pacific sunsets, those that do are blessed with a picturesque experience nightly. The hotel features 186 rooms and 12 suites, an upmarket and a more casual restaurant, as well as a luxury spa.

Affordable Housing - the ADB and Lessons from the UK

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) recently released a briefing paper attempting to
learn lessons from the UK as to successes and failures of affordable housing policy. It is
justifiable to critique the UK’s faltering policy of delivery over a number of decades, but
this is precisely why it is a fruitful area of enquiry from analysts considering other parts
of the world. The UK has benefitted from significant resources, and policymakers have
been under considerable pressure from the electorate to ensure adequate housing across tenures. This is why the Chief of the Urban Sector Group at the ADB, Manoj Sharma, saw fit to commission this work, and report on its conclusions.
