We stayed in a king bed suite for 5 nights. after reading the reviews on trip advisor. What a Nightmare. The hotel is located at the center of everything, the Rooms are okay but the noise is terrible . None of us could sleep all night . The AC was too loud and we were given the top floor so... more

beware, the expense does not end with the room charge! for a famiy of 4 to sightsee in la, we booked this hotel because of its central location. my husband is a frequent business traveler LA and says that downtown is not safe at night. we balked a little at spending more than $300, but figured we'd have this SUPER... more

My fiance and I stayed here for 2 days and three nights along with my mother, father and sister. We loved every minute of it! The hotel was so warm and inviting it made it hard to leave everyday. The hotel staff was very friendly and accomodating. The General Manager of the hotel, John Duponce, was at the front desk... more

Stayed at the Hotel Palomar in Westwood for three nights earlier this month for a business trip and absolutely loved it. Got a great rate for a comfortable, clean, and stylish room. Staff is especially eager to help without coming off condescending or pretentious. Especially loved the free happy hour (they were generous with the wine pours!) and the iPod... more

As a regular "Kimptonite," I stay at many of their hotels each year. As a frequent visitor to L.A. I was even more interested to see their entry to the market, and so I booked a stay here in July. When pulling up to the building (in a great block of Wilshire close to UCLA and Westwood,) I remembered it... more

Best place to stay in LA. I liked the morning coffee, location and privacy. rooms are very nice and attendants are detail oriented. My favorite place away from home. Bravo Palomar! more

The Hotel Palomar is the latest location in the Kimpton Group's chain of boutique hotels. All of the distinctive Kimpton touches are there - evening wine reception, premium morning coffee, very comfortable bed, L'Occitane toiletries, great upscale restaurant on-site. The Westwood-area hotel is easily accessed on Wilshire Blvd., which is good, since most area restaurants and shops will require a... more

I usually write pretty detailed (and hopefully helpful!) reviews, but I just saw the new review below from 'bocafive' and my experience was absolutely identical on all counts. I've stayed at most of the $400+ per night L.A. hotels, and for less than half of the price, the Palomar was exceptional. To echo bocafive's experience, we enjoyed the convenience of... more

A really great energy fills this place, which delivers a solid four-star experience. The decor is a little quirky – but all Kimpton properties are. Think poor-man's Philippe Stark. And the service is inconsistent. Some terrific, really friendly and professional staff. And some who are just too casual. The wine hour and free coffee in the lobby are excellent, really... more
