Official Guide to West Hollywood



  • Daily Post, Rotorua Bay of Plenty

    It’s October 31 and you can feel the buzz as West Hollywood tenses for its biggest night of the year – the Halloween Carnaval. Plenty of locals are already roaming the boulevards in costume (at least, I hope they’re in costume).

    Mickey Haller is a smooth-talking, highliving L.A. attorney who runs his practice out of the backseat of a Lincoln Town Car. Created by novelist Michael Connelly, the character was played by Matthew McConaughey in the 2011 film version of  The Lincoln Lawyer, and the book itself has spawned a series that tallies four novels so far—all bestsellers. While Haller is fictional, the city he calls home is not, and Hollywood, West Hollywood and neighbouring areas of L.A. are more than mere backdrops in the novel—they’re practically characters unto themselves.


  • Sydney Morning Herald

    The latest West Hollywood celeb lure is the extremely cool Palihouse, a quirky boutique hotel owned by entrepreneur Avi Brosch. Set around a Melrose Place-like community courtyard, it offers long and short residential stays in spacious crash pads for eccentric writer/producer types. The dimly lit lobby bar features regular sessions by celebrity DJs and has been known to attract Gerard Butler and Rose McGowan.

    By the 1960s, Sunset Boulevard between Doheny Road and Crescent Heights Boulevard was known as the Sunset Strip, the party engine that drove LA.

    The city that is home to the world famous Sunset Strip – a place where notorious rockers from Jim Morrison to Axl Rose shrieked out tunes – now has its own official theme song.

    While this pocket of Los Angeles is not new, West Hollywood’s reinvention as a fashion mecca is. WeHo, as it’s known, is where all the international fash types stay, and it’s home to most of the local heroes who don’t live at the beach.

    West Hollywood is adding yet another item to its “things most cities don’t have but we do” list: a theme song. The colorful news of the city’s decision to make its rainbow crosswalks permanent had some Angelenos in other ‘hoods itching with envy, and now the progressive zone boasts its very own tribute tune.

    One of the coolest areas to shop right now is West Hollywood.

    Robertson Boulevard: A key street in the art, fashion and design district, this ritzy stretch is home to A-list haunts Kitson, Stella McCartney and Phillip Lim, whose store features pointy rubberised walls reminiscent of Madonna’s conical bra from the ’90s! Known as The Avenues, this is a fab area to see on foot.


  • Latitudes

    With such a small footprint, West Hollywood manages to have more than its share of design hotels to make your stay in the city a sensory pleasure.
