Booking/Redemption
Location & Parking
The hotel’s location in West Hollywoods’s exclusive Design District was ideal, tucked away on a quiet street in one of LA’s most vibrant neighborhoods.
The hotel offered valet parking for $65 overnight, which included in and out privileges (self-parking was not available).
FHOP Tip: I found plenty of (free) open parking meters during the weekend, which saved me $65…but be sure to read the signs.
Lobby
Upon entering the hotel, we were greeted by a large, sophisticated lobby that felt like an artist friend’s cozy but consciously designed living room, with little nooks for reading and working and large-scale art pieces sprinkled throughout.

IHG Rewards Loyalty Program Benefits: Diamond Elite
As Diamond Elite members of the IHG Rewards Club we were given a daily free breakfast for 2 at Ladyhawk. Unfortunately, we did not receive a room upgrade from the 1 King Bedroom that we had booked.

Breakfast
Because I had an early departure, I opted for breakfast “to go” at Ladyhawk. I went with the Smoked Salmon Sunrise (salmon lox bagel) – which was delicious, even out of a box.

The Bottom-Line Review: Kimpton La Peer Hotel (West Hollywood, California)
The hotel’s unique design, convenient location, and range of amenities contributed to a memorable stay. The dining options were delicious, and the facilities, including the pool and fitness center, were top-notch. However, the hotel’s treatment of Diamond Elite members (when the property was largely unoccupied) left something to be desired, as we did not receive the room upgrade we were hoping for. Despite this, the overall experience was positive and we would recommend the hotel to others (especially tourists and couples looking for a staycation).
Final Rating: 8.5 out of 10
