I’m traveleing to LA more frequently and find the Palihouse the ideal place to stay for a number of reasons. First, it’s a good central location for those with entertainment meetings, as it’s close to the agencies, studios, and lots of production offices. If you’re in and out all day, as I often am, the valet always has your car ready within a minute or two, as he’s not fighting the influx of a hundred guests checking in at the same time. Again, because it’s small, the service is personal and very quick. As for the rooms I’ve stayed in, I appreciate the aesthetic, as it feels like an apartment and not a generic luxury hotel room. Plus, having a fridge, microwave, stove, utensils, etc. allows me to stock what I like and not spend a fortune on room service. The bar restaurant scene downstairs is interesting and overall vibe is so very LA. If you’re looking for more of a spa experience, this isn’t your best choice, although you’d likely be charmed by the other features. And while this is sort of ridiculous, the people I meet with inevitably ask where I’m staying and saying “The Palihouse” is always met with a positive response.
