The City of Angels is welcoming an array of new hotels this year. Here’s five of our favorites for your next Cali getaway.
The Godfrey Hotel Hollywood
Opening Summer 2019
Situated just one block south of Sunset Blvd., the new Godfrey Hotel will channel the glam of Hollywood with the laidback vibe of SoCal. Think clean, contemporary rooms with touches of gold and views of the bustling city. A rooftop pool and lounge will be the daytime getaway on the seventh floor. For dining, guests can relax at a lobby bar or dive into good eats at the casual steakhouse, cheekily named About Last Knife.

The Hoxton Downtown LA
Opening Spring 2019
The new Hoxton will please any theater buff with its heart-of-Broadway location. Nestled amongst the city’s oldest theaters, the building once served as the LA Railway Authority.

Glam guest room details include chevron timber floors, bold accent walls, copper and brass finishings, marble surfaces and more. A lobby bar and basement bar will serve up drinks and snacks, while a rooftop pool will provide the perfect spot for soaking up the California sun.
