Why book
This ultra-chic West Hollywood property brings panache back to the Sunset Strip with its rooftop pool, exclusive social club, Wolfgang Puck restaurants, and well-appointed rooms imbued with rich Hollywood Regency accents.
Set the scene
The first thing you’ll notice about the Pendry WeHo is the sheer scope of it all; the property spans an entire city block along the Sunset Strip on a plot that was formerly the iconic House of Blues. Upon entering, you’re greeted with a psychedelic light installation by London artist Anthony James, which will have you sucked into a trance if you’re not careful. Between the art, ridiculously good-looking clientele, and smartly dressed concierge team, it’s a bit of a challenge to stay on track at check-in, but you’ll be rewarded.
The backstory
The Pendry is part of the Montage’s line of trendy hotels geared toward the millennial traveler, and it couldn’t have picked a more perfect location than the see-and-be-seen Sunset Strip to debut its brand in L.A. The hotel includes 149 rooms, 40 residences, a rooftop pool, a stylish private social club that’ll give SoHo a run for its money, a spa, a bowling alley, and multiple restaurants by Wolfgang Puck. In other words, if you wanted to drop your bags and park it for the weekend, you’ll be more than entertained.
The rooms
If you can, opt for one of their 37 suites, which boast pieces curated by Lendrum Fine Art, blooms by celebrity florist Eric Buterbaugh, walk-in closets, and over-the-top yet opulent modern furnishings in vibrant electric blues and golds that give the room a playful Hollywood Regency aesthetic.
Food and drink
If we’ve learned anything by now, it’s that Wolfgang Puck can really do no wrong, and this rule of thumb applies here, too. Puck’s more formal dining offering at Merios offers absolutely stunning views of the city, and his signature fusion cuisine to match. At Ospero, the hotel’s all-day casual eatery, you’ll find your morning coffee as well as flatbreads and veg cooked in a wood-burning oven, as well as grab-and-go goods if you’re heading off property. And at Bar Pendry, you’ll find chic updates on classic cocktails and excellent people-watching.
The spa
Modern luxury carries through to the spa, where you’ll find classic spa treatments on the menu alongside the cutting-edge wellness offerings LA has become known for. They’re using clean beauty brand Babor’s Cleanformance alongside science-backed Priori in their program, giving you the glow that’ll leave you feeling fresh-faced and dewy.
The neighborhood/area
Right in the heart of West Hollywood, the Pendry is across the street from The Comedy Store, excellent shopping, and world-class restaurants. But let’s be honest, if you’re like us, you may not even leave the premises.

The staff are smart yet friendly, attentive, and professional.
