Andaz, Suite

The suite has a city view over West Hollywood. The hotel is a 14-story tower on the Strip between Hollywood and Beverly Hills, so you are looking out over the neighbourhood from an elevated vantage point. The rooftop pool deck is where the hotel's widest panoramas of LA and the Hollywood Hills are found.

The suite has 1 king bed dressed in premium, hypo-allergenic bedding with a down comforter. It sleeps up to 3 guests, and a rollaway/extra bed can be added for a surcharge. It suits a couple best, or a couple with one extra guest.

The private bathroom has a shower, designer toiletries, bathrobes, fresh towels and a hair dryer. Housekeeping visits daily, with standard service between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM and later service on request.

Yes, within reason. The hotel welcomes families, and this suite offers a free crib, a rollaway for a surcharge and connecting rooms by request. The rooftop pool is open to guests, but it has no lifeguard. One reviewer also notes the surrounding area is lively and not ideal for young children, so the suite works best for a small family or couples.

Guests receive free WiFi, free bottled water, a welcome beverage, an evening wine hour, free snacks and a 24-hour water and coffee station in the lobby lounge. The 24-hour fitness center is also free, with Life Fitness equipment and three Peloton bikes. The minibar is stocked with some free items. A mandatory daily destination fee of $40 applies, and the hotel can confirm its current inclusions before arrival.

There is a 42-inch LCD TV with premium channels, closed captioning and pay movies, plus an iPod dock. The suite also has a desk, an iron and ironing board, a mini-fridge, free local calls, free daily newspapers and mobile key entry. Room service runs daily from 6:30 AM to 9:00 PM.

The heated rooftop pool is open year-round, 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM. The Sundeck bar serves drinks there seasonally. Downstairs, Riot House Restaurant and Bar serves market-fresh California cuisine and cocktails, and the lobby Riot House Market has pastries, snacks and coffee. Breakfast is not complimentary.

Santa Monica and Venice beaches are roughly 11 miles away, about 15-20 minutes by car outside rush hour and much longer in peak traffic. LAX is about 11-12 miles (around 27 minutes' drive), and Hollywood Burbank Airport is 7-8 miles away. There is no complimentary airport shuttle, but staff can arrange private transfers, taxis or rideshare.

Check-in begins at 4:00 PM, the front desk is open 24 hours and check-out is by noon. Guests need a government-issued photo ID and a credit card, and the guest on the reservation must be 18 or older.

The hotel sits on the Strip, so the Comedy Store is about a one-minute walk. Nightlife names such as the Viper Room, Whisky a Go Go and the Roxy Theatre are nearby. Melrose Avenue shopping is about a 5-minute drive, and the Hollywood Walk of Fame is roughly 2 miles away.
