Mondrian LA

I think if you’re staying in Los Angeles, the hip and funky Mondrian is quintessential to stay in (at least one night!). Everything screams LA — from the loud but cool furniture, clean minimalist walls, the famous guests and the iconic Skybar.

Set on the Sunset Strip, you’ll be walking distance to the Sunset Plaza for some shopping, the Comedy Store and numerous lively bars.

Beyond their indoor/outdoor restaurant and rooftop pool with underwater music (yes!), it’ll be pretty hard to leave your room. At least it was for us.

The rooms are stocked with Malin+Goetz toiletries, feature waterfall showers, 24-hour room service and even a flat-screen TV disguised in a mirror. For dogs, all pups are welcomed with a goodie bag filled with full size bags of treats, toys, bowls and Hamptons Dog Magazine.
