In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Historic music clubs like Whisky a Go Go and The Roxy line the sidewalk just down Sunset Boulevard.
The rooms
Glass sunrooms replace the old open-air balconies, opening onto wide views of Sunset Boulevard and the city below.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The rooftop pool looks across the Los Angeles basin, lined with sun loungers and private cabanas.
The gym
Cardio machines and weights fill the 24-hour fitness center, set behind large arched windows facing the street.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Riot House Bar
An open kitchen turns out seasonal California dishes beside a long marble bar with a glass-encased wine display.
the notorious Riot Hyatt (now Andaz West Hollywood) where Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones snorted and cavorted in the ’60s and ’70s.
At the table
Bartenders shake cocktails along the counter, and guests gather in the lounge for evening wine tastings.
How it began

Gene Autry opened the tower in 1963, but touring bands like Led Zeppelin soon christened it the Riot House.
