The W Hollywood: Drama & Style

The grande dame of New Hollywood, the W Hollywood hit the scene in 2010, ushering in the new era with drama and style. Hollywood’s neon skyline is undergoing a glamorous renaissance—now, you’re in the beating heart of it, from the most exciting nightlife of Tinseltown at your doorstep, to the gorgeous nature and hiking just minutes away.

In October 2024, the W Hollywood emerged from a complete renovation by the Rockwell Group, elevating the property to Marriott's West Coast flagship. The 319 updated guest rooms and suites now feature a color palette of blues, yellows and creams.
Descend into The Living Room and luxuriate in curved velvet sofas inspired by the Hollywood Hills.

Accommodations range from Standard Single King/Two Queen to the Luxe Level Penthouse Suite.

You’ll notice that the views are quite spectacular from the WET Deck, the hotel's rooftop pool with two bars, called Sunrise and Sunset.

Kickstart your morning at the on-site Café Goldie, where breakfast favorites meet perfectly brewed espresso. From silky cappuccinos to refreshing yogurt parfaits, Café Goldie is your ideal spot to begin the day in the heart of Hollywood.
Other nearby breakfast/brunch options include the lovely patio at Superba Food + Bread, located about a half-mile from the W; and the wonderful Hollywood Farmer’s Market (every Sunday until 1pm) for breakfast burritos, fresh oranges and flowers.

A mile to the north lies the charming Franklin Village, a magnet for the young, beautiful and hopeful. There, the Scientology Celebrity Center (home of the mysterious chosen creed of Tom Cruise) serves up a crazy good brunch on Sundays, and the sweet Beachwood Cafe sits under one of the best views of the Hollywood Sign. Don’t forget to visit the excellent Counterpoint Books and Records, and pick up tickets at the Upright Citizens Brigade comedy house, a training ground for Hollywood’s rising stars.

Though you’re in the heart of the city, don’t be surprised to see a coyote or two jogging down the street during your visit —the wilderness is just minutes away. A great way to spend a morning is with coffee at the outdoor gem Trails Cafe, at the foot of a hike leading up to the Griffith Park Observatory with its iconic views and planetarium show. Make like a true Angeleno and grab lunch at Little Dom’s afterwards.

Follow the stars along the Hollywood Walk of Fame and they’ll lead you a mile west of the W to all the shopping you need — Forever 21, Guess, Louis Vuitton and more orbit the home of the Oscars, the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood.
If you’re in the mood for a show, the Pantages Theatre is across the street from the W - enjoy an evening show or grab tickets to a matinee. Cinephiles will love the landmark TCL Chinese Theatre, which boasts the largest IMAX auditorium in the world. And music lovers should make a beeline for the legendary Amoeba Music, a sprawling record store near Hollywood and Vine.
You’re undoubtedly hungry by now. For dinner, we love Musso & Frank Grill for classic steakhouse fare; and Katsuya has one of the best sushi scenes in LA.
For cocktails, dinner or an art opening in Downtown LA, the Hollywood / Vine Metro Station is right under the hotel. Go Metro and avoid the hassles of driving and parking.


Get into the LA nightlife groove with world-class DJs spinning at Hollywood clubs like Avalon and Sound.

Close out the night at one of Hollywood’s plethora of dimly-lit bars — Lost Property, No Vacancy, The Well, and the Burgundy Room are great options for incognito drinks. The always packed Good Times at Davey Wayne’s features a house band voted “Best Cover Band” by the LA Weekly.
And since it's across the street from the W, you can't leave LA without getting a stiff drink at the Frolic Room, where Bukowski himself once held court, and the remnants of Hollywood dreams float on the air.
