One of the pitfalls of traveling so often is that hotels start to blend together and begin looking very much alike. Even the ritzy ones, tend to begin to feel cookie cutter. The white marble bathroom floors, demure décor and long heavy drapes.
For this reason, Palihouse has had such an impact. The hotel group has taken a completely different route by creating an experience that’s reflective of a posh home-and-garden magazine shoot. The best part is that unlike a single residence, the West Hollywood and Santa Monica properties come fully staffed with anything your heart desires and more.
Isn’t the whole point of staying in a hotel to have a top-notch, on-call masseur available at any whim?
WeHo may be a playground for gays but it’s not exactly known for its elegant hotels. In a neighborhood known for over the top glitz, the Palihouse West Hollywood is an oasis of restrained finery, a pied-a-terre for the discerning, urbane wanderer.
Flanked by Santa Monica and Sunset Boulevards, the location is practical, the insides are lavish, and the experience is truly star-worthy. From the basic Classic Guest Suite to the vast Penthouse, each space counts more as an apartment than a room. Carrera marble bathrooms, flat screen TVs, and Bose sound systems are de rigueur, but the real Instagram moment is up on the rooftop where there is an eatery whose grand views of the Los Angeles Basin are unmatched.
The Moorish-Mediterranean sister property is the PalihouseSanta Monica, whichharkens back to the California of the Roaring 20’s, a delicate balancing act that the Palihouse Santa Monica pulls off like a pro. The hotel keeps old-school getaway glamour alive while staying attuned to the 21st Century demands.

Beachy, tranquil, and very SoCal, the 38 rooms culminate in the multi-roomed Penthouses –One (bigger) and Two (smaller). Number One goes so far as to include two outdoor extensions where you can celebrate your arrival in style.
After all, what other way is there to celebrate?
