Frequently Asked Questions
The West Hollywood Design District (WHDD) — home to the Pacific Design Center — is in the southwest corner of West Hollywood. Its northern border lies in between Santa Monica Boulevard and Melrose Avenue, and it stretches to Beverly Boulevard in the south. The district is framed by Doheny Drive to the west and La Cienega Boulevard to the east.
Explore more than 250 establishments in the West Hollywood Design District, from upscale art galleries and design studios to stylish shops, restaurants and cafes (with patio dining perfect for celeb-spotting). The district regularly hosts art walks, exhibitions and workshops, while its striking street murals — including the notoriously Instagrammable Paul Smith Pink Wall — offer plenty of opportunities for sightseeing and photos.
Melrose Avenue in the West Hollywood Design District is famous for shopping, with a wealth of fashion offerings ranging from Scandi styles and ethical jewelry to Art Deco interior-design showrooms and polished cafes. The street extends eastward outside of West Hollywood, where the street takes on a more eclectic character.
