Stay here if you want to do some sightseeing on foot in Hollywood. Good proximity to several top landmarks , and virtually every tour in Hollywood departs from a block away.

Go to the Library Bar . The bartenders are incredible at asking what flavors you like and incorporating fresh herbs , fruits and veggies (what? I know! trust me though) to make delicious drinks.

Reginald Pointdujour

The Spare Room is a mist-go-to bar . There are chill vibes, good music , good drinks.

From the awesome drinks at the Library bar , the fun pool parties or the chic scene at Teddy's and The Spare Room... it's pretty much a no-brainer.
