- Mezz Lounge: pre-function lounge off the mezzanine for intimate gatherings

| The Sundeck | 3,600 sq ft rooftop deck around the pool | Up to 150 guests |
| Mezz Lounge | Pre-function lounge off the mezzanine | Used for cocktail hours and mingling (capacities vary) |
Rooftop ceremonies and proposals — what to expect
Rooftop options center on The Sundeck and Panorama Ballroom; both offer panoramic city and hillside views. The Sundeck is open-air and sits by the heated rooftop pool, while the Panorama Ballroom is an enclosed glass-walled space on the rooftop level.
Because these are rooftop spaces, plan for wind, sun, and the general unpredictability of outdoor Los Angeles weather. Ask the wedding specialist about backup indoor locations and timing for best light and comfort.
- Pool hours and rooftop access: the heated rooftop pool is open daily 7:00 AM–10:00 PM; seasonal bar service runs midday (hours can vary).
- Cabanas and pool seating are first-come, first-served; cabanas can be pre-booked via on-site arrangements.
- Day-pass and pool access rules may apply to non-overnight guests (age restrictions are enforced by third-party day-pass vendors).
| Consideration | Tip |
|---|---|
| Noise & privacy | Rooftop areas are public hotel spaces—ask about exclusive buyout options for privacy |
| Timing | Sunset views are popular—confirm service/lighting for later hours |
| Pool safety | No lifeguard on duty; plan logistics if small children will attend |
