With spacious, beautiful rooms, a rooftop pool, a full-service spa, and tasteful, contemporary decor, this hotel delivers the level of luxury you'd expect from a Ritz. Its downtown location in the L.A. Live entertainment complex means you're close to numerous restaurants, a movie theater and sports games in the adjacent Staples Center, but you'll have to drive to see L.A.'s most popular tourist sites.

The Motel 6 is a reliable budget option in the heart of Hollywood. The immediate surroundings are a bit sketchy at night, but travelers willing to stay in this area put themselves a short stroll from the Hollywood Walk of Fame, TCL Chinese Theatre, and Hollywood & Highland shopping complex. There are no major facilities, but the hotel offers free coffee, a microwave, vending machines, and coin-operated laundry room. The 125 colorful contemporary rooms have scattered noise issues, but are spacious and clean. All come with mini-fridges, free Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs. Note that one pet is allowed free of charge and kids stay free. As an alternative, the nearby Best Western Plus Hollywood Hills Hotel has a pool, breakfast, and rooms with kitchenettes, but it’s a bit farther from Hollywood Boulevard and rates are higher.

Opened in 2018, the upscale NoMad Hotel Los Angels resides in the Neoclassical 1920s headquarters for The Bank of Italy. The gold and blue Italianate lobby ceiling has been completely restored and it serves a design inspiration throughout the impeccably styled public spaces and 241 rooms and suites. The Rooftop is the place to be, it's complete with a small cafe, hip swimming pool, and bar with a fun cocktail list. Back downstairs, The Restaurant, The Coffee Bar, and Giannini Bar were each impeccably designed with Italian influences and Californian menus. Single travelers should be comfortable in entry level Superieur Rooms, but couples will appreciate the extra square feet in Atelier Rooms. The over-the-top design and hip atmosphere can be too much for some. If that's the case for you, check rates at the business-friendly skyscraper InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown.

Mama Shelter Los Angeles is a three-and-a-half-pearl party hotel situated in the heart of Hollywood, a block north of Sunset Boulevard. Property features are limited, and while there's no fitness center or pool, Mama's Shelter's rooftop and happy hour are its star feature. The hotel goes big on all things social, with DJs, a menu that includes gluten-free and vegan options, and Instagrammable common areas. There are 70 rooms, some with views of the Hollywood sign, and all come equipped with mini-fridges and 27-inch iMacs for streaming TV.

Los Angeles Airport Marriott underwent a $44 million renovation in 2018 that brought fresh and contemporary interiors to this upper-middle-range chain hotel. The hotel is a three-minute drive (or free shuttle ride) from LAX so it's mostly popular with those in transit, but business travelers appreciate the 55,000 square feet of event space. The 10004 rooms also have a contemporary look and large windows let in lots of light; some have balconies and/or pool views. MClub Rooms upgrade to free lounge access and food presentations. Resort-style features include a lovely outdoor pool, full gym, Starbucks, and three eateries/bars. For a beach hotel, check rates at the JW Marriott Santa Monica Le Merigot**. **

The 69-room, upper-middle-range BLVD Hotel & Spa is on bustling Ventura Boulevard adjacent to the 101 highway, with restaurants and buses within walking distance. Rooms are fresh and stylish with a modern color palette, and have rainfall showerheads, mini-fridges, and iPads on request. A full-service spa is on-site, along with a cafe/bar for snacks, cocktails, and coffee. The property has some downfalls, namely street noise in some rooms, and the fact that the pool and gym are both very small. Parking is available on-site for a fee, and Wi-Fi is free, though iffy -- a significant hindrance for business travelers, who may prefer the Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles for its expansive fitness center and meeting space.
