The hotel

With an A-list address in Westwood, bordering Beverly Hills, the Palomar’s a microcosm of all that’s great in LA: the laid-back poolside living, the celeb-worthy design details, and the trend of sustainable cooking. Here you don’t just visit LA, you live it. Its sense of style infuses every space, but nowhere more so than at the pool, where an al fresco lounge features comfy cushioned seating and a fireplace. Double Take serves up unfussy, market-inspired snacks, salads and entrées that shine with Southern Californian ingredients. Bookending each day, the complimentary morning refreshments and evening wine hour remind you this is the land of indulgence; while the free 24-hour gym’s wall of windows looks out onto Wilshire Boulevard, so you don’t miss any sightseeing.

We very much enjoyed our four-night stay here. The hotel is in a beautiful residential area and is reasonably walkable to stores and restaurants. It’s also within a reasonable drive of numerous attractions (beaches, Hollywood, Griffith, Universal, etc.). Very cool lobby. Clean, quiet room.

Probably my last time at a Kimpton Hotel. Overall a nice looking remodel that can’t hide the age of the building Pros: - good looking rooms - great staff Cons: - shower alternated between scalding hot and absolute cold at 5 second intervals - WiFi average speed was 3.45 MBs. Pretty much unusable. Spent an hour on the phone with their tech… Read more

Pretty much unusable. Spent an hour on the phone with their tech support trying to troubleshoot. Got it working just enough to download my email - they charged me a $35 resort fee that included “premium internet” (see note above) - really loud air conditioning units - I asked for a quiet room and I could still hear the rumbling of the elevators Read less

I booked a staying using points, for a "free stay" but this hotel ignores IHG term and conditions and charges a hotel worker protection surcharge. So even though I used points, they still charged me over $50/night in fees. Bridgett responded to my complaint with a dismissive response rather than removing the fee.

We enjoyed our stay at Kimpton Hotel Palomar. The hotel has a lovely chilled feel to it, and the staff were very welcoming as soon as we walked in. It is in a nice, safe neighbourhood.

We ate breakfast at the restaurant once - while not cheap, the portions were huge and it was delicious. We had a good chat with one of the porters one morning, for the shame of me I cannot remember his name, but he was lovely. Our room was big, spacious and clean and we both slept very well. I would stay here again, Read less

We stayed one night with two small kids and really enjoyed our stay. The service from the front desk was excellent and they go the extra mile.

We stayed one night with two small kids and really enjoyed our stay. The service from the front desk was excellent and they go the extra mile. Upon check-in they gave kids free toys which is a nice touch. The lobby is beautiful with a small convenience corner for snacks and drinks, and there is a trendy restaurant/ bar with a games room and either a sit down service or a grab and go. It was great to have the healthy snack options like fresh squeezed juices, pastries and coffee. Prices are very reasonable too. The room was clean and spacious with some interesting/ unique art. Overall a great stay in LA and the location is within walking distance to shops and restaurants. Read less
