Le Parc Suite Hotel

Much like the area it is in, Le Parc Suite Hotel West Hollywood is quiet and relaxed. As an all-suites property lacking a bar with street access and having no sleek design to draw the rich and famous, the hotel makes it easy to shut yourself in against the clamor of West Hollywood. It is a laid-back, reasonably priced pick for families, business travelers, and extended stay guests who put comfort and convenience over glamor and a hopping nightlife scene. However, Le Parc’s rooftop pool and solid restaurant give it an edge over other all-suite properties in the area.

The lobby decor is elegant, if a tad generic, featuring smoky-gray walls, plush seating with classic lines, and a few pops of color in orange throw pillows. The same can be said of the restaurant. While it gets great reviews, its design is somewhat plain, consisting of simple wooden tables and chairs, and a small wooden bar with a red accent wall. However, the pool deck has more of an L.A. vibe, with metal loungers outfitted with white cushions, orange umbrellas, and a cute bar area decorated with string lights, red and gray patio furniture, and a dark L-shaped bar with white stools.

A few blocks south of Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, the Le Parc Suite Hotel is in a rather quiet but highly convenient Los Angeles location for those wanting to explore the area’s excellent dining and shopping. The hotel sits one block west of La Cienega Boulevard (a north-south thoroughfare), one block north of Melrose Avenue, and one block from Restaurant Row, home to dozens of renowned eateries. Beverly Center, a mall full of shopping and dining options, is about a 15-minute walk away. Attractions such as Rodeo Drive, the Hollywood sign, the Hollywood Bowl, Universal Studios, the Greek Theater, and the Getty Center, are all within a 25-minute drive of the hotel. A drive to Santa Monica and L.A.'s beaches will take at least 30 minutes. It can take anywhere between 50 and 90 minutes to get to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).

Le Parc Suite Hotel West Hollywood’s 154 suites range from spacious 550-square-foot King Suites to 1,000-square-foot one-bedroom units. They’re all clean and offer ample storage space, but they are rather generic in terms of decor. The design is unremarkably contemporary, with a subdued color palette that draws heavily on browns and grays, wall-to-wall patterned carpets in neutral hues, and a few pops of red in throw pillows. Leather-like accents in headboards and coffee tables add style, while black-and-white photos and gray accent walls are cute touches.

Laid out in railroad fashion, Studio Suites open into a living-and-dining area outfitted with a sofa bed, while the bed and bathroom are stepped up behind a blackout shade that provides some privacy. All units have at least basic cooking facilities such as microwaves, mini-fridges, and coffeemakers, and most come with stovetops. Premiere Suites and One-Bedroom Suites feature full kitchens. Additionally, all units have fireplaces, plus furnished balconies with street views.

Standard amenities include two large flat-screen TVs and minibars stocked with liquor, sodas, and snacks. Wi-Fi is included in the daily amenity fee charged to all rooms, as is bottled water. Large bathrooms have ample counter space, shower/tub combos with glass doors, and big backlit mirrors. Gilchrist & Soames toiletries and hairdryers are available in all rooms as well.

Le Parc Suite Hotel West Hollywood offers a decent array of amenities, of which the heated pool and restaurant are highlights. The rooftop pool deck is relaxing and appealing, with a couple dozen padded loungers, umbrellas, mountain views, a few cabanas for rent, and a small, casual bar. The tennis court is free to use and is also located on the rooftop area. Knoll is a small restaurant located one level below the pool deck. It serves a great farm-to-table menu made with fresh, local ingredients. The restaurant also provides in-suite and poolside service.

The hotel also has a number of convenient amenities for business travelers and extended stay guests, including a tiny gym with a handful of machines and a sauna, a 24-hour business center with printing services, and a 24-hour laundry room. Two meeting rooms are available for private and corporate events, as is the rooftop deck, which can be rented for parties, weddings, and small events. Valet parking is available for a fee.

The hotel charges a daily, per-room amenity fee that covers evening wine receptions on the rooftop, Wi-Fi, luggage storage after checkout, bottled water in suites, and loaner bikes (upon availability).

Le Parc welcomes pets for a one-time, non-refundable deposit. In-room food and water dishes are provided, as are dog treats.
