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.

Lovely hotel in a good location

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,

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.

Perfect place for exploring LA. Local area very nice with plenty of places to eat nearby. Room very clean and fresh towels regularly supplied. Would benefit from a coffee making machine in room as none available from reception either. Bottle of water in room very expensive, $10 plus taxes which was far too much. Great relaxed atmosphere in…

We just had a great stay at this hotel. The location is excellent. The rooms are very clean. Loved the happy hour with wine and snacks. There’s a really nice area with a pool table, ski ball, shuffleboard, huge TVs. The gym is very clean and has a peloton. The rooms were modern. Ronaldo at the front desk. Is the nicest guy -enjoy your stay!
