“Great for our Wedding Guests”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 14, 2013

We ordered a room block at this hotel for our wedding. They were extremely accomodating in every step of the process. As the bride I received a free upgrade to a suite, which I used to get ready on the day of my wedding and as the bridal suite. They also helped arrange for a hospitality suite for my mother in law to provide lunch for her family before the wedding. They provided cookies in my suite upon arrival and champagne after the wedding along with a note from the concierge. Whenever we called with a request they were really accomodating. For example, they brought up a bar stool from the bar for me to sit on while having my makeup done. They also agreed to comp parking for some of my vendors who only came to the hotel for a few hours. All in all, I was really happy with the way we were treated. Their competitors at the W should take note. The W costs more and made us feel like they had no interest in our business. I'm so happy that we decided to work with the excellent team at the Palomar.

“Great hotel experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 14, 2013

I have stayed at the Hotel Palomar on 4 separate occasions in the last year and each stay was very enjoyable. The service from the bell staff to the front desk staff to the bar/lounge employees is excellent. Everyone makes you feel very welcome, and they are genuinely committed to taking care of you. The hotel has a good work out area, and I have been particularly impressed with the quality of the food from the hotel restaurant. I typically eat from the full menu in the very comfortable bar/lounge area. Ruben, one of the bartenders, is outstanding. The neighborhood adjacent to the hotel is also nice - good for walking.

“They will take care of you!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 12, 2013

I have stayed at this hotel several times while in LA on business. I have enjoyed my stay each time. This last time, though, I became ill with a stomach virus. I ended up having to extend my stay to recuperate. The staff was incredibly understanding and helpful, and offered on numerous occasions to bring me tea, sparkling water, or whatever I needed. I really appreciated this as everyone needs someone to take care of them/watch over them while they're sick! I will definitely stay at this hotel whenever I am in LA.

“Nice beds, great views, top notch service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 8, 2013

I've stayed at this chic little hotel on Wilshire a couple of times now. The staff at the front desk is so welcoming and polite. The concierge goes out of his way to help with small details. A great neighborhood too. Walk the little side streets to check out classic stucco LA bungalows with beautifully landscaped gardens of succulents and palms. Across Wilshire and up the street a bit is the UCLA campus. Worth seeing! And it's an easy shot to Santa Monica in one direction, and Melrose in the other. Again, staff is terrific. SIgn up to be an In TOuch member and get perks like better rates and your pick from the mini bar. Thumbs up!

Room Tip: Ask for a high floor for stellar views
