The three best hotel picks in Los Angeles

Golden hour, all day. I’m a VIP Platinum member who books twenty-plus trips a year, so instead of forty tabs you get three rates in Los Angeles that are actually worth taking: the cheapest, the smart 3.5-star middle, and the luxury pick. Every rate below is a typical nightly figure, not a live quote.

Where to stay in Los Angeles

The Wayfarer Downtown LA in Downtown LA is the value pick, Hotel Figueroa in Downtown LA is the comfortable middle, and Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica is the one I book for myself. Pick any of them and you finish the reservation with your own card on the booking partner’s site.
