Review
In West Hollywood on the see-and-be-seen Sunset Strip, Pendry West Hollywood is built on the hallowed grounds of the former House of Blues (across the street from the world-famous Comedy Store). Spanning an entire city block and wrapped in 6,000 square feet of digital signage, the property commands attention. Guests will enjoy the seemingly endless array of amenities, including a rooftop pool, spa, fitness center, screening room, a live music venue and multiple restaurants and bars.
Upon entering the lobby, guests are greeted by a geometric, psychedelic light installation by artist Anthony James in an elevated environment that embraces California modernism with the allure of the Hollywood Hills. While The Pendry feels connected to the neighborhood’s identity, the hotel has a rhythm all its own, with modern design and luxurious urban living. The interiors of the 149 guest rooms and 40 residences are well-appointed with brass accents, Art Deco-inspired light fixtures and a curated art collection. Furnishings in vibrant electric blues compliment the expansive city views.
Wolfgang Puck has two on-property restaurants that are worth a visit all on their own. The more formal dining option, Merios, offers stunning rooftop views of Los Angeles and features Puck’s sophisticated fusion of Japanese, Southeast Asian and French/California cuisine. Ospero is the hotel’s street-side European-inspired café featuring a relaxed all-day menu of favorites including classic salads, handmade pastas, vegan dishes and Wolfgang Puck pizzas (fresh from the wood-burning pizza oven). Additionally, Bar Pendry is an opulent, yet intimate space that invites guests for chic evening cocktails and excellent people-watching.
The Spa features four treatment rooms, two steam rooms and a state-of-the-art fitness center that is shared with the on-property social club, The Britely (which rivals the likes of Soho House). The rooftop pool sits high above the city where guests can relax in style. Paying homage to its former life as the House of Blues, the Pendry is also home to The Sun Rose, an intimate 100-seat music club where guests can expect to see performers like Stevie Wonder, Justin Timberlake, Nicole Scherzinger and Jeff Goldblum.
