I really enjoyed my stay! My room was super clean, and I loved the Atelier Bloem toiletries. This was in a great location, near a Metro. The complimentary coffee in the morning, the social hour with popcorn and wine in the early evening, and the friendly staff all made it enjoyable.

“My son and I have taken 1:1 train trips every summer for the past twelve years, and our trip this summer included a delightful two-night stay at the Kimpton Los Angeles Wilshire Boulevard. Our room was very modern and comfortable, the hotel's location is amazing (we walked five minutes to the Petersen Automotive Museum on one day and five minutes to the Academy Museum on the second day) and the rooftop restaurant and bar were exceptional. I enjoyed drinks at the bar on both evenings we stayed overnight, and my son and I enjoyed a delicious dinner the afternoon after we checked out, and before we headed back to the train station to catch our 10:00 pm train to Houston. The housekeeping team did exemplary work in keeping our room fresh throughout. I'm looking forward to returning soon with our whole family!”
Convenient to LA museums and D -line subway! Wonderful rooftop pool!

“We stayed at the Kimpton for its proximity to the LACMA, the Peterson and La Brea Tar Pits. The hotel was conveniently located in mid-Wilshire, near the new Fairfax/Wilshire D line subway and there were two lovely breakfast restaurants within 1/4 mile. The downside is that there were several boarded up businesses between the hotel and the subway and we were a tad uncomfortable with the number of unhoused in front of the boarded up businesses. We have been to many major cities and this seems to be a constant these days.
Our first room was beautifully appointed, until we saw the bathroom. The shower/tub combination was so tall that I could barely climb in - the way the door opened kept me from sitting on the edge and turning into the tub and it was slippery. We asked to change rooms and the hotel was accommodating, however, we had to wait for guests to check out before we could be given a new room. We stored our luggage in my sister's room while we went sightseeing. We changed rooms for the second night and got a walk in shower and after that everything was perfect. I would recommend asking for an eastern facing room or one without a shower/tub combination.
The hotel has a restaurant on the roof with a small pool and the food there was excellent and the view was tremendous!
There is only valet parking and it is $40 per night and the driveway only allows for one car in or out at a time. A place to park while checking in and out would be helpful.”
Small but comfortable room with nice location near museums

“Despite being on a busy street, the hotel was quiet except for a bit of walking noise from above us. I appreciated being able to walk to LACMA and La Brea tar pits down the street a few blocks. The room was relatively small, but it had all of the things that we needed. It might feel a bit cramped for a longer stay for two people. It was clean and the housekeeping service was appreciated for our two night stay. There was a safe and a frig (restricted to minibar items). The bathroom had a magnifying mirror that I liked. There was coffee available on the second floor; I would have liked in room coffee. There was no onsite gym. The rooftop bar had beautiful views of the mountains; the food was good, but courtesy of the service could be improved. I would prefer an onsite gym and in room coffee. I would stay here again.”

Hotel is adequate, manager was terrible

“I have stayed in hundreds of hotels on six continents. I am compelled to write a review due to the astoundingly unhelpful and unprofessional attitude of the day manager on the day I checked in. First, the positives. The hotel has a good location for what I needed. Valet parking at $60/dy included fast in-out service. The room and bed were clean and comfortable even if the electric plugs were eccentric and hard to reach. The rooftop pool is nice, even if it takes two elevators to access it. Wifi and shower flow were adequate but not joyous. My "Hollywood Hills view" King was 80 percent parking lot but I could see the hills.
Here's what prompted me to write a review. My assistant booked us last minute for two rooms for a two night stay May 5-7. As we drove to the hotel around 3pm, I asked my aide to ensure the rooms would be ready, as we had to dress and run asap. Cesar the day manager told us one room was confirmed and one room had been cancelled "on April 26." My assistant asked how that could be, given that she booked both rooms on May 4. Cesar repeated that one room had been cancelled April 26 and that the hotel was full and nothing could be done about it. I asked if there was any cancellation charge, to which Cesar replied there was none. Then he put us on hold and we waited 20 minutes before calling back, only to have him again tell us nothing could be done, and that he had to deal with a guest, placing us back on endless hold. In desperation, I had my aide book a room at another hotel so we could meet our work commitments that day. I arrived, was checked in by the front door clerk (not Cesar) in the small lobby with the minimum of warmth, and went about my work day.
I was astounded that a confirmed booking (at an astounding $600/night) got cancelled - not by us - and that the hotel did nothing to help, and told us it had been cancelled over a week before we even made the original booking. Due to this rude surprise, and the rude insouciance and persistent unhelpfulness of the manager, I give this hotel two stars.”
Perfect spot and great facilities
