What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
There’s no mistaking the Palihotels aesthetic, marked as it is by a distinctive palette of soft colors and an eclectic design sense that’s equally reminiscent of modern boutique hotels and classic European inns.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
On Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, a short walk from the Walk of Fame and local dining.
The rooms
Rooms come with marble bathrooms and Bellino linens, and select layouts open onto private patios overlooking the pool.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Striped loungers and bright orange umbrellas line the courtyard swimming pool, set among palm trees.
At the table
Benny's on the Blvd serves morning espresso and taqueria-inspired snacks at a custom arched bar framed in peach tiles.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
