Ardor at The West Hollywood EDITION

At a hotel known for its lush, plant-filled spaces (including the rooftop pool terrace), it’s only natural that the botanical theme would extend to its in-house restaurant, Ardor. Helmed by one of the world’s most renowned vegetable chefs, John Fraser, Ardor makes plant-based ingredients the star of the show. The dining room, which feels like it was carved out of a secret garden, will have you feeling as lovestruck as the name suggests.

Merois at Pendry West Hollywood

Potted palms, curvy banquettes and ceilings dripping with shimmering fabric are enough to sweep you off your feet at this rooftop jewel box – and that’s not even mentioning Merois’ stunning city views and sophisticated Wolfgang Puck cuisine. As is expected from the celebrity chef, Puck brings his global mix of Japanese, French and Californian influences to the menu, alongside heady handcrafted cocktails.

Boxwood Restaurant at The London West Hollywood

Modern. Fresh. Classic. Clean. These are words used to describe The London, and executive chef Anthony Keene carries that ethos into the culinary experience at Boxwood Restaurant, pairing classic British favorites with bright California flavors. Another unique dining option is The London Bar and Sitting Room, where high tea is served on weekends and holidays.

Cavatina at Sunset Marquis

A music industry staple, Cavatina is nestled in a lush setting where a charming bridge crosses a calming koi pond at the legendary Sunset Marquis.

Tonic at Montrose West Hollywood

The sophisticated restaurant at The Montrose West Hollywood is definitely worth a visit, but the rooftop – featuring a California-style food menu prepared by Chef Ramiro – is the place to be. Pair your meal or small plates with a handcrafted cocktail from Tonic, the hotel’s swanky rooftop bar, and you’ll have everything you need for a dreamy sunset with LA skyline views.
