Experience
The walkable side of West Hollywood.
A residential block between Santa Monica Boulevard and the Sunset Strip.
The rest of the city is minutes away.
The Neighborhood
West Hollywood, on foot.
Chamberlain sits on a quiet residential block between the Sunset Strip and Santa Monica Boulevard, in the heart of West Hollywood. The Strip’s music venues, the restaurants of Melrose, and the shops of the Design District are all a short walk from the front door.
Beyond the Neighborhood
Los Angeles, by car.
A short drive opens up the rest of Los Angeles. Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive are minutes away; the Getty Center, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and a hike up Runyon Canyon are a little farther. The beaches of Santa Monica are about twenty minutes west.
The Outdoors
Los Angeles, outside.
Iconic Southern California outdoors, a short drive from Chamberlain. Runyon Canyon and the Hollywood Sign Trail to the north. The beaches of Santa Monica, Venice, and Malibu to the west. The kind of day people fly to LA for.
On Property
Chamberlain, on property.
Two reasons to stay in. The rooftop pool five floors up, with cabanas and the city laid out below. The Fitting Room, a small candlelit dining room on the ground floor, open from breakfast through dinner. The rest of the day is outside.
