"A sophisticated and stylish retreat that provides a serene base away from the glizty madness of downtown Los Angeles."
Raffles L’Ermitage
By Matthew Barker
This ever-voguish LA hotel set the minimalism-and-hi-tech template for design-conscious bolt-holes across the globe. The ‘Euro-Asian’-inspired rooms (you can bet they’ve had the full feng shui treatment) are huge, and come with their own home theatre systems. The rooftop pool is a famed Bel Air see-and-be-seen scene (ditto the bar ad Jaan restaurant); the Amrita Spa will leave you ready for your close up.
