Choosing just 10 hotels took a lot of work. We also love these luxury hotels that just missed making the main list:
The greatest luxury hotel concentration is in Beverly Hills, Hollywood, West Hollywood and Century City. These areas are close to top attractions, beaches, nightlife, shopping and entertainment.
Several LA hotels can claim the most luxurious. Still, top contenders include The Peninsula Beverly Hills, Hotel Bel-Air, The Beverly Hills Hotel and Hotel Casa Del Mar in Santa Monica.
