The Palihouse is the next best thing to having a pied-a-terre in West Hollywood. The 37 suites feel like hip urban apartments, complete with kitchens and laundry machines. The largest suites have two bedrooms and private terraces. Downstairs, the painfully hip Lobby Lounge is a communal restaurant/workspace/bar that often hosts private functions and power meetings. Mardi restaurant serves farm-to-table style menus in a gorgeous European-inspired courtyard. Upstairs, The Rooftop offers outdoor dining and cocktails with views of the Hollywood Hills. The West Hollywood location is just down the hill from world famous Sunset Strip, and walkable to several design stores and restaurants.

Scene
Painstakingly designed for the full hip effect -- lots of private events and parties
From the exterior, the three-story Palihouse looks like a very expensive and well designed apartment building. Black window shutters and uniform flower boxes look more like private residences than hotel rooms. And truly, that's not far from what it is. The suites are designed to mimic urban apartments, and the common spaces focus on food and design. Guests enter the hotel down a short flight of stairs and land in a beautifully decorated space that's technically a basement (though there are large windows and a semi-outdoor courtyard, so it's a bright and well-lit space. Next to the reception desk is a cozy and stylish little library area with a wall of books and curious, plus a soft blue sofa. On the opposite end, there's far more space to spread out and have a cocktail, coffee, or meeting. Design is equally dedicated, with clusters of Mid-Century Modern furniture and a brick faux-fireplace underneath a huge drawing of a bicycle. Guests are generally hip couples and business travelers who appreciate the apartment-style suites and club house-like atmosphere. Note that the restaurants are often rented out to private events and can get quite crowded and noisy.
