Everything was easy, and we were beyond excited to go to Petit Ermitage and deeply sad when we left

Future Forward
Culture is everywhere in this one-of-a-kind hotel. The art collection, the Toledo Show, piano player in the salon, and they organize yoga classes and tarot readings. How original is that? Never seen it before in a hotel and loved it

Good music at all times. A perfect playlist for each moment of the day, and I find that very rare in a hotel and I personally appreciate it so much

Bar, Events & Nightlife
One of the highlights is the cocktails. I consider myself a connoisseur of espresso martinis, and here you can taste one of the best I've ever tried. The great atmosphere at night makes it one of the hot spots for L.A. cool people to meet

I loved finding a mezcal bottle in the assortment. Quality towels and robes, which I really love in a hotel, and it's not that easy to find
