My husband and I were in LA for a long weekend. I had never been to LA, and a friend recommended this hotel. It is located in Westwood, right near the UCLA campus. Westwood is a pretty quiet residential neighborhood, with Westwood Village being just a 5 minute walk away. Pros: 1 - Beautiful hotel; modern, clean look; very LA!... more

The good: *Nice view *Good location *Very friendly staff The bad: *Not kid friendly - The art deco style allows for sharp corners and glass at head height The ugly: *Elevator got stuck - Center elevator would go up to the 8th floor and stop (after a few minutes and by pressing all the buttons we got back to the... more

Short stay but while I was there it was clear that the staff cares about every little detail to keep you very happy during your stay. As for cost performance, You will not find a better place more

We had a pleasant stay here. The room was probably one of their worst, being opposite the lift, but we were using SPG awards so can't really expect better. That said, it was still a nice room and of course lovely Bliss products in the bathroom! Had to get an extra robe sent up and no bathroom slippers - have... more

I only have praise for the W Los Angeles. My family (older children) stayed for 3 nights over Parents' Weekend at UCLA. I can't say enough about the hotel.

The outside temperature (high 80's) made the... more

Great Westwood location bordering the UCLA campus on a relatively quiet street. Rooms were clean but not very well sound-insulated so that I heard a lot of racket from my neighbors. Concierge, reception, valets, and bellhops were helpful throughout my stay. By contrast, the restaurant featured slow, inattentive, service that both mixed-up and forgot elements of my orders on two... more

Told the General Manager in an email that from the minute we checked in until checkout we were treated like visiting royalty. First we were upgraded to a suite then received great help from the concierge desk onto a delightful experince at a brunch we hosted outside at the pool and then to the engineering department coming immediately to my... more

Room design is quite elegant -- other comments seem to confuse minimalism with cheapness. This stuff ain't cheap. Likes: - toasted marshmallows and iced tea at the front desk each afternoon - exercise room: really clean and modern, great equipment, tvs, etc. - free and very good coffee in the morning - great location - off of the commercial strip... more

My wife and I came to Los Angeles for 3 nights to see some of the city, enjoy the sun, and eat some good food. We did all 3 and had a great time, but the W Hotel in Westwood may have been the highlight of our trip. The hotel can't be more than a couple of years old, so... more
