We are long time loyal Hilton customers and stayed at this hotel because of it's proximity to a UCLA conference venue - and we were in for a great surprise! The service, from everyone in the hotel was simply exceptional, and much better than we could have expected. Along with this they had a free wine hour every evening with... More

This stretch of Wilshire Blvd. sure is posh, with luxury high-rise condos lining it as far as the eye can see. The Palomar fits in very well... beautiful, high end but not fussy. Each staff person with whom I interacted was very accommodating. I arrived a few hours before the official check in, without any expectation of being able to... More

My wife and I attended a dinner meeting put on by The Mercatus Center, there was about fifteen of us. This was the first time we had been at The Palomar, and we were impressed. The dinner was excellent, and you could not ask for better service. For Westwood the parking was very reasonable. This is a great place to... More

This is a great hotel in terms of location, design, comfort and special perks like wine in the lobby each afternoon, but the reason I am compelled to write is because the service and atmosphere was so exceptional. Here's our story. A friend and I came to LA for a long weekend to take an art class at nearby by... More

I stayed here over the weekend before a business conference. Brought my wife and our three dogs. The other reviewers who say this hotel has first class accommodations and great staff are accurate.

I've stayed at Kimpton hotels in Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington, so I chose Palomar because I needed a place to stay while visiting friends in West Los Angeles. The Palomar staff more than matches the personal service of other Kimpton hotels. This hotel is less expensive than others in the neighborhood but the lobby was modern, elegant, comfortable and...

You can write all you want about the Hotel Palomar's swanky, yet inviting luxurious accommodations or their fantastic location on Wilshire just one block from Westwood, but its the people that make this hotel my exclusive choice when in town on business or pleasure. And speaking of pleasure, that's exactly how I would define everyone who works at the hotel... More

We stayed five nights at the Palomar and our experience was exquisite. The hotel was very clean, with nice decor and pool. The suite was very comfortable: stay room, bedroom and spa. The valet parking was $35 for the night. This hotel is "strategic" for those who know LA's area and vicinities. We felt completely comfortable walking around Westwood Village... More

It sounds like you had some requests in advance of your stay and Josue (our concierge) was able to make it all happen for you. Well...come see us for another 5 days sooner than later.

I stayed for one night and was very impressed. Customer service was amazing. They took care of every single request I had. Room service was delivered within 15 minutes and they even had a free wine hour from 5-6. The room was clean and spacious. I would definitely stay here again.
