Sunset Tower Hotel
Panoramic rooftop pool above the Sunset Strip
About this hotel
Sunset Tower Hotel sits on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, its rooftop pool built specifically to deliver a sweeping, largely uninterrupted view across the neighborhood's rooftops toward the hills beyond. A full-service spa shares the same elevated level, so the panoramic outlook is not limited to poolside lounging alone. Down in the guest rooms, floor-to-ceiling windows echo that same wide-angle view, paired with modern touches like Nespresso machines, iPod docks and nightly turndown service with freshly baked cookies. The Tower Bar downstairs serves California cuisine with French and Italian influence, with both an outdoor terrace and a more casual poolside dining option, giving guests two different registers of the same panoramic setting depending on the hour.

Our take
Sunset Tower Hotel suits travelers who want the clearest, most reliably panoramic rooftop view in Los Angeles, paired with old-school West Hollywood glamour and genuinely attentive service. It is less suited to travelers on a tight budget or those who prefer a quieter, less see-and-be-seen setting, since the hotel's reputation draws a fairly visible crowd most evenings of the week.
- ✓Request a room with floor-to-ceiling windows if the panoramic view matters as much to your stay as the rooftop pool itself.
- ✓Visit the pool deck at different times of day, since the view shifts from bright midday clarity to a softer look at golden hour.
- ✓Book the Tower Bar's outdoor terrace for dinner if you want the panoramic view to carry through into the evening as well.
