We stayed at the Luxe from August 4 through to August 11 and we loved it so much we came back at the end of August for another week. We are Australians travelling through LA. Upon hearing that we were returning to the Luxe all the staff were genuinely thankful and kept thanking us for coming back.

The Luxe is a beautiful boutique hotel, very clean and well maintained. We prefer the smaller "no name" hotels and we found this one perfect. The staff are all so helpful and friendly, always say hello to you whether it be the front desk staff to the housekeeping to the valet. As per the previous review we thought $22 parking was enough and didn't tip and we were never treated rudely, the valet were alwasy friendly and we never waited long for the car. Although the room service menu isn't huge the food is nice and reasonably priced. They have a room service menu, and in restaurant menu and a poolside menu - loved getting food and drinks by the pool. The pool area was just really nice and relaxing, never too busy we always got a bed. They refresh the towels several times during the day. The pool is heated so is a nice temperature no matter what time of day and have nice music playing up there (not loud). There is a steep walk to get to the pool from the front of the hotel but they have a golf cart giving rides to and from the pool for those who don't want to walk. They also have a tennis court and provide rackets and balls.

Our room was just the basic room and was very big and roomy. The beds were extremely comfortable and had plenty of pillows. The rooms are just decorated really nicely nad browns and beiges and nice pictures of shells. There is a flat screen TV with cable. They also provide free wifi throughout the hotel, as well as having and "business centre" where you can use computers and printers free of charge. The bathroom was very nice and also roomy. The rooms are kept extremely clean and housekeeping came through everyday. Our room on our first stay was located above the valter parking area but never had a problem with noise of cars or people.

The hotel is located on Sunset Blvd, on the border of Brentwood which is an extremely upscale neighbourhood (mostly gated streets). The neighbourhood is extremely safe to walk through and we regularly took walks to the local shops (called Brent-Air) for milk and such. One time Jennifer Garner was there while we were getting some dinner! (Also, staying at the hotel was Sopranos and Bad Boys actor Joe Pantoliano). The hotel is located directly off the 405 freeway and although it is very close, we could never hear any traffic noise at all. Being close to the 405 means is it very easy access to where you want to go.

The hotel is located about a 10 minute drive to Beverly Hills to the east and about 10 minutes west to Pacific Coast Hwy in Santa Monica. It is in a excellent, safe location and would definately stay here on our next trip to LA (if only we could afford to live in Brentwood we would!). We cannot say enough positive things about the Luxe. On average the hotel was about $200US per night and was well worth the money for the area. To me, safety is extremely important in where I stay and this area cannot be beat. If you find something wrong with this hotel you are the kind of person who will find something wrong with any hotel, no matter the price or star rating.

We arrived on 6th August and left on the 11th and our stay was well above average. The hotel has two sections and we were on the upper level. No problem with bags or car although it is valet parking and being English paying $22 a day includes, as far as I am concerned, the ability to go & come as I please at no extra cost whatever the Yanks say! Room was lovely, quiet and well fitted out although no lift between floors and we were on the top floor of 2. Staff couldn't be more helpful but housekeeping does need to be checked! Staff very helpful and gave us good directions when needed. WE only had breakfast which was well priced and OK on service. The hotel has been well refurbished and the pool was great. My wife & I would certainly recommend the Luxe to all when on vacation to LA..

We stayed at the Luxe, a hotel near our home, due to a plumbing problem at our house. When I arrived, the person at the front desk decided, based on my appearance (I came in late, from work, and in informal clothing) that my husband and I should be relegated to a room on the far level of the hotel. I was told I would be driven up, as I was very tired, but when I went to go get the "shuttle," I was told I would have to drive myself up. (My husband and I arrived separately). On the upper level, there was only valet parking, which was fine, but I should have been told that. Also, the parking level was on the third floor, and my room, on the fourth floor . There was no elevator. (I was not told this either). I had to carry my computer and a heavy bag upstairs myself. I had asked for a room with queen beds, and was told there were not any, which I believe was not true. The next day I left in the early morning and returned in a couple of hours. (I had requested and had been given late check-out). I went to sleep. Twice, hotel employees attempted to enter my room, although there was a Privacy hanger placed on the door. Both times, my room door was opened, but the person could not enter since the door was chained. The staff did not respect the sign and the hotel had failed to advise staff members of the late check-out. After complaining, more than once, the hotel made a partial adjustment on the bill. The hotel is beautiful and new, but we were very disappointed with the poor service and bad treatment on the part of the staff. We hope this was an isolated incident.

Huge room - almost uncomfortably so - for a solo traveler (over 600 sqft); nice amenities; separate shower booth, etc.
The hotel consists of 2 building (main and the spa tower). I was assigned to the latter, and you would like a ride from the main tower because of the steep uphill (the hotel does offer a ride).
Internet - can be improved (wireless).
Valet parking - takes long because short-staffed.
Breakfast - need a car to the nearest Starbucks, so you'd probably eat at the hotel restaurant (about $20).
To get on Fwy 405, you need to make a sharp left from the hotel on the busy Sunset Blvd. (coming back to the hotel is no problem).
