Similar to European Hotels that cater to Americans, it is clear Elan is an American hotel that targets to an international clientele. For a 3 night stay, I chose Elan for their close location to Cedars Sinai Medical Center. It grew on me with each night. Since the hotel lacks a restaurant, a copy of L.A. Bite or information about... More

Elan was the very first hotel we tried in LA, and it was nice: - GPS nav lead us from airport to the hotel through a short series of small roads, no highways. This was a first chance to see the city. - The room was upgraded for free - Hotel has valet parking, through the rate is $25/day -... More

Great Westside location within walking distance to wide range of restaurants and shops. The Elan does not have a pool -- which allows them to offer bargain rates for such an elegant hotel with outstanding service.

We stayed at the Elan hotel for our honeymoon in L.A, recommended by our family who previously stayed there and the whole experience at this hotel was more than what we expected. We arrived at the hotel for check-in and got upgraded to a nicer bigger room as they knew it was for our honeymoon. Customer service is incredibly high... More

We stayed at The Elan for 5 nights in March this year. On arrival they were able to check us in early and then we were shown to our room. The amenities were outstanding, including bath robes, a great coffee maker, wifi and cable tv. The room was very cozy and comfortable. The location of The Elan was perfect for... More

I stay at the Elan whenever I visit my daughter, who lives in the neighborhood. It is ideally situated for someone like myself - a 55+ woman, traveling solo, who gets up early, enjoys good food and shopping and safety. I specifically asked to be on the second floor and was pleased with my location (Rm 228). The room itself... More

The hotel is centrally located just one block from the Beverly Center and Sofitel Beverly Hill. I stayed for 3 nights in late April. I walked to dinners at Ink. and The Bazzar at SLS Hotel. Both about 15 minutes walk. The walk to Ink. was towards Melrose through a very upscale residental neighborhood, while the walk to The Bazzar... More

I just returned from a four day stay at the hotel and was pleasantly surprised. Their customer service was top notch! I was a little disappointed when I walked into the room as it was a little on the small side but it ended up being plenty big. I travel a lot and have to say that this hotel was,... More

We were very disappointed in this hotel. Our room was tiny - not big enough for a family of four. The staff was not particularly friendly; continental breakfast was okay. We also hated the location. While centrally located, the neighborhood is grimy and appeared somewhat dangerous. I wouldn't advise walking even a block. We checked out early, even though it... More
