The 29 five-star hotels on this page span every corner of the city, from the historic glamour of Beverly Hills to the sleek towers of Downtown LA. You'll find the highest concentration around Beverly Hills and West Hollywood, where classic names like the Beverly Wilshire and Chateau Marmont sit alongside modern design-forward properties. Downtown adds a different flavor with high-rise hotels offering skyline views and proximity to the convention center and L.A. Live. Prices start at $125 and climb to $1,100, with the typical stay around $360—so there is a five-star option for both celebration splurges and more modest budgets. If you're looking for the best-rated, Level Hollywood leads with a 9.5 guest rating, while many others earn strong scores above 8.5.
Hollywood's five-star hotels are steeped in showbiz history, offering a mix of iconic hideaways and stylish modern stays. Chateau Marmont is a legendary spot with a secluded garden and a pool that has seen its fair share of celebrities. Sunset Tower Hotel offers classic Hollywood charm with a cool bar and a stylish pool terrace, while The Aster provides polished suites just minutes from the Walk of Fame. For a more contemporary vibe, the West Hollywood Edition brings a rooftop pool and multiple dining options on Sunset Boulevard. Prices here range from $264 at The Aster to $585 at The Edition, giving you choices from classic to contemporary.
Beverly Hills is the epicenter of five-star luxury, where you'll find the city's most storied hotels along Wilshire and Rodeo Drive. The Beverly Hilton is a grand icon on Wilshire Boulevard, while the Beverly Wilshire, a Four Seasons Hotel, offers prime access to Rodeo Drive. For top-tier service and a 9.2 rating, L'Ermitage Beverly Hills delivers with a rooftop pool and spa, steps from the famous shopping street. The Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills and Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills also offer exceptional stays, with the latter providing a saltwater pool and a standout Italian restaurant. Prices here are higher, starting around $363 at The Beverly Hilton and reaching $831 at the Four Seasons, but you're paying for the cachet of the address and impeccable service.
Downtown LA's five-star hotels are modern towers that trade classic glamour for contemporary style and skyline views. The InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown occupies 73 stories and sits next to the Staples Center, offering some of the best city panoramas. Conrad Los Angeles is near the Civic Center and Grand Park, with a rooftop pool and spa, while The Ritz-Carlton at L.A. Live puts you right in the middle of the entertainment complex. For a design-led stay, Downtown Los Angeles Proper Hotel brings a rooftop pool and bar near The Grammy Museum, and Hotel Figueroa offers a historic 5-star experience close to the LA Convention Center. Prices are more accessible here, starting at $138 at Hotel Figueroa and averaging around $225 to $360, making downtown a smart choice for value-conscious luxury seekers.
Los Angeles enjoys mild weather year-round, but you'll often find better rates during the winter months (November through February) when tourism dips. However, if you want to experience the city's sunny beaches and rooftop pools, summer is prime time but comes with higher prices and more crowds. Booking a few weeks ahead, especially for weekends, can help you secure the best deals.
For a first visit, consider staying in Beverly Hills or West Hollywood for the classic Hollywood glamour, with easy access to Rodeo Drive and the Sunset Strip. If you prefer a more urban experience with nightlife and entertainment, Downtown LA is a great choice, putting you close to L.A. Live, the Grammy Museum, and the Staples Center. Each offers a different slice of LA life, so think about what you want to see most.
From LAX, you can take a taxi, rideshare, or shuttle to reach most 5-star hotels in Beverly Hills or Hollywood in about 30-45 minutes, depending on traffic. Downtown hotels are also accessible via the FlyAway bus service to Union Station, followed by a short taxi or metro ride. Many luxury hotels also offer private car service for an additional fee.
While many 5-star hotels provide private car service or can arrange transportation for a fee, not all offer free airport shuttles. It's best to check with your specific hotel, as some may include this in their amenities or provide a discount for booking ahead. For example, properties like The Beverly Hills Hotel and the Four Seasons often have dedicated airport transfer services.
Los Angeles wears its five-star luxury loosely. The city's top-rated hotels cluster in Beverly Hills and along the Sunset Strip, where classic icons like the Beverly Wilshire and Chateau Marmont carry decades of Hollywood glamour, but they also spread downtown (think Conrad Los Angeles and the Ritz-Carlton at L.A. Live) and even out to the waterfront at Marina del Rey. What unites them is not a single style but an embrace of indoor-outdoor living: rooftop pools, garden courtyards, and terraces with skyline views are as common as marble bathrooms.
At the entry level, you can find five-star stays from around $125 per night in areas like Downtown or Hollywood, while the top end reaches $1,100 for exclusive hillside retreats. The median price hovers near $360, but the real cost difference is about location and legend—Beverly Hills commands a premium, while Downtown offers modern towers at more accessible rates. Alongside the hotels, a few resorts, motels, and aparthotels also carry the five-star badge, adding more variety to your choice.
This collection of 29 five-star hotels suits travelers who want the best of LA's luxury scene—from the historic glamour of Hollywood to the polished streets of Beverly Hills and the modern vibrancy of Downtown. If you're celebrating a special occasion or seeking impeccable service, these properties deliver. However, if you need specific amenities like guaranteed parking or a pet-friendly policy, consider checking pages dedicated to those needs, such as 'Hotels with parking in Los Angeles' or 'Pet-friendly hotels in Los Angeles.' For those watching their budget, 'Cheap and budget hotels in Los Angeles' and 'Motels in Los Angeles' might offer more wallet-friendly options, while 'Business hotels in Los Angeles' could provide better workspaces and conference facilities.
