Very disappointed with the response from the hotel staff. Be prepared ! I made my booking online for a room with one king and one queen bed. Upon checking into my room, the room only had one bed, I immediately called the front desk and advise them of my reservation for two beds. They said that room was all they had available and could no longer accommodate me for two beds. I could try another hotel if I wanted. I paid for a double room and did not receive any compensation for the single bed room This cost a big inconvenience, since I was traveling with family. Then, on my checkout day, I left my iPhone charger plugged in the wall, I realized within an hour that I had forgotten my charger, call the hotel and asked if I could come back and pick it up. Front desk did not let me, and said they would advise housekeeping. I have filed a claim, call the hotel every day, tried trying to get my charger back, however, I was told that it was not in the room. Very uncooperative staff! Other than that, hotel has a very nice roof top restaurant and bar. But so does the Marriot 1 block away. …

I would’ve rated this is zero but there wasn’t an option. Do not stay at this hotel, it is a dump and the service is horrible and the manager name Cesar is so rude and unprofessional then I’m actually going to call headquarters. Don’t waste your money, they don’t care there Horrific, horrific, horrific, horrific and I have stayed there before but it has gone down the tubes. The general manager and the other manager Cesar are such jerks. My daughters face got burned by their water in the shower and they didn’t care. There are so many great hotels in Los Angeles. This one is going to be going out of business. I guarantee it it’s that bad.

...it has those stupid amenities fees. I stayed here, because I was part of a group. We got a group rate that waived the amenities fee, which made the price comparable to another hotel I was considering that wasn't as convenient or luxurious. However, I object to amenities fees on principle -- if it's not optional, just increase the room price! That's really the only reason why I gave this hotel four stars instead of five. Otherwise, I enjoyed my stay at the Kimpton Hotel Wilshire. The hotel is well-appointed, the rooms are comfortable, and you can't beat the location, if you're interested in visiting LACMA, the Academy Museum, the Petersen Automotive Museum and the La Brea Tar Pits. Beverly Hills, the Farmers Market, and the West 3rd Street corridor are an easy walk from the hotel, too (~1 mile). Pros: -- Convenient location. I didn't rent a car and I was able to walk to most of the places I wanted to visit. In 2024, a subway station is supposed to open near LACMA, and the subway is supposed to reach LAX, which will make it even more convenient. A cab (not ride-share) to and from the airport costs $40-50, depending on traffic. -- Rooms are quiet and well-appointed. I was in a standard King room, #605. Not much of a view, but I didn't care. -- Staff are helpful and friendly. -- The second-floor lounge was convenient as a meeting place for our group. Since it was a reunion of sorts, we could hang out there at night and talk without having to squeeze into someone's room (the lobby is very small). There was also free coffee, tea and ice water. They serve snacks in the late afternoon, but we didn't take advantage of that, because we always our and about or had dinner plans. -- The rooftop bar and pool are small but have terrific views. Even if you don't swim or drink, check it out! The lower seating area was a nice place to have a drink. -- Room had a safe. Cons: -- Price: The Kimpton Wilshire Hotel is a bit more expensive than I'm usually willing to pay, but, as I said, the group rate made it more competitive. Parking is pricey, too ($45/day), but since I didn't have a car, it wasn't an issue. -- The fridge is filled with mini-bar items, so there's very little room to store your own items (leftovers). In fact, there was sign not to store personal items in there. Hmpf. -- Rainfall showerhead -- hate them! They don't provide enough pressure or volume of water! -- The bathroom faucet doesn't stick out into the sink far enough. When I wash my face, I cup my hands to collect water under the faucet and splash it on my face. Because the faucet is to close to the sink wall, water would run onto the counter and pool there. I put a washcloth next to the faucet to prevent my things from getting wet. I've never had this problem in a hotel bathroom before. -- Room was a bit humid, even though the AC was on. It was in the high 70s/low 80s when we were in LA, and I didn't think it was that humid out (though apparently it was humid to locals). I was surprised by how humid the room felt. NOTE: When I told the cab driver from the airport that I wanted to go to the "Kimpton on Wilshire," he didn't recognize the name (he's been driving in LA for at least a decade). When I gave him the street address, he recognized it as "the Hotel Wilshire." Perhaps if I had told him to go to the Kimpton Hotel Wilshire, he might have recognized it. The confusion makes me think that the property existed previously as simply the Hotel Wilshire and was purchased by Kimpton later. Would I stay here again? I would certainly consider it, depending on where I want to go and what I want to see in the city. …

When I arrived at the hotel, a 4 star hotel, there was no one outside to greet us or help with bags and no visible valet or sign. I checked in and got to my room but it wasn't what I had paid for. I selected a room with a large soaking tub and was looking forward to that aspect. I got a room with a big 6 foot conference table in it. I was really disappointed but when I went to the front desk they told me it was an upgrade? But then admitted they'd overbooked that room type!! When I went up to the roof restaurant/bar I was the only one there which isn't a good sign but also the waiter told me the chef was on a break for fifteen minutes so my order would take a while. It was just ridiculous to me, especially for a four star place. It started to make sense why no one was there. Lastly, my room was not cleaned for two days!!! I told them about that too.....my garbage was overflowing and I literally had a bath towel with a hole in it! I do NOT recommend this place. There are so many other better options in Los Angeles by far. Someone said the hotel is lipstick on a pig...it's true. …

Just arrived. We reserved the Mulholland Suite to accommodate our group, and the sleeper sofa is without exception the worst one I’ve ever encountered. Unusable - and we wouldn’t have stayed here if not for the suite configuration. It’s a thin mattress, and the whole thing flops in that direction of your head depending on how you’re laying on it. Comically, the front desk handed me a small, thin comforter and one pillow for the sleeper sofa - no sheet was provided until I specifically asked for one. This place is not up to Kimpton standards.

Stayed here for a business trip. After I was already unpacking in my room, I got a call from the front desk saying that they forgot to hold my card... I had to go down again and they gave me two tickets to get free drinks. This was OK. The bathroom was decent size, had a small closet. The TV would go on by itself multiple times which was annoying. Once we were doing the checkout we were asked to paid some other fees that we weren't told about at the beginning. There is no breakfast at this hotel. The parking is messy. We had to wait around 30 minutes to get our car out of the parking lot. We got late to our business meetings.

I would give this a 3.5 based on the price point. I paid 917 for two nights in the Mulholland suite which is a two queen bed suite. There were about $150 more in fees than originally quoted including parking. Most of my experiences in LA hotels have been horrible, so this was fairly nice in comparison. Everything is old, the carpets are bad, the window blinds are bad so there is constant light into the room at night. The beds are lumpy and too soft. The barn doors didn't stay open or closed. The coffee bar was very good but there is no breakfast. The rooftop bar and pool area is very nice. I would stay here again for short stays, mainly because the other options are so terrible.

18/2022 - The Kimpton Hotel Wilshire is one of 17 InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) brands with a 6-floor building along a miracle mile at the Wilshare Blvd. (Mid-Wilshire, Los Angeles) The rooftop pool-side restaurant and bar called Videre, surrounded by a small heated pool, is closed at 5:00 p.m. daily. It can be considered a center piece of the hotel. Near by the pool, there is a 24" X 96" rectangular fire pit. Recently, the only restaurant at the hotel has a new management. At present, it is in a soft opening while going through some renovations until March 2023. The hours are from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., with a social hour between 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. for complimentary wines and small bites for registered guests. There are two tables under cabanas and a few tables at Terrace with a nice view, where you can see a famous "Hollywood" sign. We had a great experience during our check-in time with a courtesy staffer. The guestroom is in a very good condition with a very comfortable bed (5-star rating) to reflect a quality of a boutique hotel.…
