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.
Some of the newest high-end hotels in LA include Pendry West Hollywood, Kimpton La Peer Hotel, The Maybourne Beverly Hills and Four Seasons Private Residences Los Angeles.
