Don't delay: Los Angeles hotels are on sale now for Labor Day
-
SLS at Beverly Hills
- Sale Price: $287/night (you save 20%)
- List Price: $355/night
- Rating: 4.5 Pearls
- Location: Beverly Hills/Bel-Air, Los Angeles
The Philippe Starck-designed SLS, opened in 2008, may dazzle -- and possibly overwhelm -- the senses with capital-D design. The rooms are sleek, luxurious, and spacious; its gym is enormous, and restaurants by Spanish chef Jose Andres are praiseworthy. Maybe you'll spot a Hollywood star like Sarah Jessica Parker or Hugh Jackman -- both of whom have been spotted making business deals at the hotel's restaurant, The Bazaar. -

- List Price: $420/night
- Rating: 4 Pearls
- Location: Hollywood/West Hollywood, Los Angeles
This ornately designed Sunset Strip hotel, already an icon less than 15 years after opening, has an exclusive poolside lounge and more scene-y action than even the Sunset Marquis. Polished rooms with cutting-edge style keep the pretty people coming back -- and keep commoners satisfied, too. -

Hidden away in a quiet residential section of Beverly Hills, this 119-room hotel pampers guests with extraordinary service (including a rare, flexible checkout policy), huge 650-square-foot standard rooms, and a 24-hour rooftop pool with 360-degree views. All in all, a hotel with few equals. -
Hotel Shangri La Santa Monica
- Sale Price: $341/night (you save 20%)
- List Price: $427/night
- Rating: 4 Pearls
- Location: Santa Monica, Los Angeles
For a stylish and luxurious oceanside getaway, the Shangri-La is mighty close to perfection. The exterior of this recently renovated boutique overlooking the Pacific evokes an elegant ocean liner, and the dazzling pool and lounge area pick up on the maritime theme. The rooms are interesting and pristine, with an Art Deco touches and luxury features like 42-inch flat-screens, iPod docks, and marble-topped soaking tubs. The service, meanwhile, is superb. -
Terranea Resort
- Sale Price: $262/night (you save 40%)
- List Price: $437/night
- Rating: 4.5 Pearls
- Location: Rancho Palos Verdes, Los Angeles
Terranea offers the full range of resort amentities for kids (and their parents). This full-scale Rancho Palos Verdes property has a pool with a waterslide and a kids' club that offers arts and crafts, games, and nature activities. Teens can kayak, surf, and attend free "Teen Scene" nighttime events. But beware that the Terranea is at least an hour's drive from major L.A. tourist attractions -- so it makes a great self-contained family vacation destination, but doesn't work particularly well as a home base for exploring L.A.
