Just got back from spending 6 nights at Home hotel and I can't say enough good things about it. The staff was excellent and didn't seem at all bothered with my 1000 questions every day from the most mundane ("is it going to be cool again?") to ("where should i go for dinner/ lunch/ wine shop?"). They always had an answer or suggestion for me. The hotel itself was charming and comfortable and it was nice to be somewhere where the staff/concierge knew who your were from day 1. Also liked the free internet. The rooms were modern and clean with the most comfortable bed and pillows ever! (I had a hard time getting up to go back out to dinner at 10pm b/c I was so comfy AND my bed in my apartment now feels so uncomfortable). The breakfasts were filling and delicious..i loved the different mixed juices each morning (who would think of mixing oj w/ green tea?).
Although Home is in Palermo Hollywood and it is not as built up as Palermo Soho.. you can totally feel the energy and see the build up of the area so you know in a few months.. there is going to be more and more around there from boutiques to restaurants to lounges/ clubs. There are about 4 good restaurants within 1 1/2 blocks if you don't want to travel far (and I really liked Grappa) but like it has been said.. taxi's are so cheap.. who cares if you have to get one to go to Soho... plus, the concierge will be more than happy to get one for you in an instant. The bartenders at HOME are excellent and can mix up an amazing drink just by you telling them what you like and don't like. Next time I go to BA I will go sometime from Oct- March so I can take advantage of the Friday night dj/ happy hour by the pool. (plus it would be a little warmer than April). Would absolutely recommend this hotel and would absolutely stay there again.
