16 of West Hollywood’s Hottest Hotel Pools

Yeah, the rooftop pool scene is a big deal here, and you’re invited. For real — West Hollywood’s killer pools beat any other city’s, thanks especially to the flawless year-round weather. Take a dip and judge for yourself. Don’t be surprised to see celebrities and socialites rocking their bikinis and short shorts poolside, as world-class DJs spin the hottest tracks in front of a sprawling view of the city. 

Here’s a peek at 16 of West Hollywood’s hottest hotel pools.

The West Hollywood EDITION

Nestle into a bespoke lounger atop this sleek Sunset Boulevard hotel for a VIP view of the Hollywood Hills, Beverly Hills and LA skyline. A living wall of lush foliage, flowers and mature trees gives the terrace a tropical hideaway vibe — a fact that is underscored by the Latin-inspired cocktails and small plates served poolside.

Mondrian Los Angeles

The closest to South Beach you can get in LA is on the roof of the Mondrian Hotel. Take a dip in the small pool next to other sexy carousers and throw back a delish cocktail from Skybar. Take in the city’s magical vista day or night.

Sunset Marquis

Rock out at the very same pool the Red Hot Chili Peppers jumped into from their suite stories above (but don’t try that yourself). Boasting two heated pools, the Sunset Marquis is known for attracting famous musicians, so keep a lookout for your faves.

Kimpton La Peer Hotel

Located in the West Hollywood Design District, the design-centric hotel is inspired by the neighborhood’s engaging blend of art, architecture and fashion. Steps away from the pool there’s an outdoor bar and lounging area that occasionally features live music.

Andaz West Hollywood

Find time to relax at this mellow rooftop where you can reserve a private cabana to lounge in luxury. Enjoy a craft cocktail from the highest rooftop pool bar in Los Angeles while basking in the glorious West Hollywood sun.

1 Hotel West Hollywood

You’ll have selfies for days after spending time at the 1 Hotel. The all-natural, eco-friendly aesthetic, the welcoming spaces and some of the best views in the city make this second-floor pool a must-visit. It’s for hotel guests only, so if you want to take a dip, you’ll have to book a stay.
