Review from Mandy C.

I want to go back NOW!!! What a great hotel! The building is old but well kept with a cool, contemporary decor ....and in a perfect location (especially to ride the bull across the street at Saddle Ranch)!! The rooms were beautiful, the pool is quaint and peaceful, and the vibe is not snooty considering it is a high end hotel. The part that stood out to me the most though, was the hospitality! What an amazing staff! From the valet guys, to the front desk, to the manager at the restaurant for breakfast. I was soo impressed by the level of customer service this hotel offered. Everybody was happy, helpful and very welcoming! Especially David....I don't know his official position, but when he delivered bandaids to our room at 3am (careful of the dangerous sidewalks on Sunset Blvd after a few cocktails) he not only brought extra first aid supplies, but he helped clean up my friend's leg, offered his advise, and bandaged her up! Super nice guy, and very helpful. David was just one name I remembered, but all of the employees were really great and that alone would make me go back!
Side notes- Best coffee I've ever had from room service, most comfy bath robes EVER and Kiehl's products in the bathroom....need I say more?!?
Find out for yourself!!! : ) -

Attended an event here for the MTV VMA Afterparty hosted by InTouch Weekly.
Outdoor pool was a little on the small side but has a fantastic view of the city in the evening. The bar was surprisingly spacious with plenty of room to dance and mingle. The bartenders were on their A-game and the DJ did her thing too. Lighting was great and the whole interior had a clean and contemporary look. Very classy!
I would definitely attend an event here again. -

I highly recommend that all you poor people save your pennies and drag them up to the counter here and buy yourself a weekend of the good life. Try to forget that some people live like this all the time and just immerse yourself in the otherness. I plan on dying of liver failure here someday while lounging by the pool.

AAMAZING. The nicest most comfortable beds Ive ever slept in. The restaurant is OK (I'm harsh, I'm from San Francisco, I've yet to eat anywhere amazing like in SF). The bathrooms made me feel a little old hollywood. The pool area s small but comfortable. the whole hotel makes you feel glam, and their spa is amazing.
I wouldn't stay anywhere else on the strip. -

This place is hot.Art Deco building with well preserved features. Small pool with terrace restaurant brilliantine with light views of LA /Hollywood like the room. Still understated( hollywood oxymoron?) SooSavvy witty kind staff. Atmosphere engenders a notion that if one hung around you could be 'Discovered'.?soon to be a heartthrob for the over eighty set??

What a fabulous hotel!
The Sunset Tower is located right on the strip so it's walkable to everything. The atmosphere is great. Not too snooty, but definitely more upscale and clean.
I had just gotten in from a 5 hour flight so I was incredibly tired, and felt gross. I looked absolutely NOTHING like the typical size 0, tiny dress, clubbing celebrity jumper that usually hangs out in this part of town. I was wearing jeans and a t-shirt with no make up and I smelled like a funky overcrowded airplane. Yet the valet and the front desk staff treated me like I completely belonged there.
The hotel bar was filled with 'first dates' so people watching was fantastic, and the bar staff was just as friendly as the front desk! There was breakfast on the terrace the next morning and the view overlooking Hollywood was spectacular. The choice of food spanned along a long table with fresh fruit, yogurt, muffins...etc. All of the necessities, and the quality was fantastic.
The rooms were nice and spacious, and although had outdated wallpaper, contained fun modern furniture with a flat screen TV.
The hotel is a little tough to find but once you are there, no matter who you are or how you smell, you are treated with the same amount of dignity and respect. It's worth every penny! -
Review from Ryan W.
8/21/2010 2 Check-ins Here
This is one of my favorite places to stay in West Hollywood. The location is fantastic, I really like the historic feel (just check out the stairway), and the building's architecture is unforgettable.
The Junior Suite with a terrace is perfect. Room 1206 is really nice, with a panoramic view facing south. You can see everything from Sunset Blvd to downtown LA. Very comfortable.
Room 1202 is also good with a view up and down the Sunset Strip. Be careful in the bathroom of 1202 as the window in the shower allows the tourists in the open-top buses a clear view of your entire bathroom. I didn't realize this until I was standing at the toilet and had a tourist wave at me. Not an exhibitionist? Just close the blinds.
Room service is great, and they will get to know you during your stay. The person you chat with on the phone is the person who will deliver your meal. I like that. This hotel is a home away from home kind of place, which explains why actors like Heath Ledger chose to live here after the new owner took over some years back.
HIstorically speaking, there have been an overwhelming number of celebrities in residence in this tower. Frank Sinatra, Eva Gardner, Truman Capote, Jean Harlow, Clark Gable, Carole Lombard, Greta Garbo, Billie Burke, Errol Flynn, Joan Crawford, Claudette Colbert, Mae West, Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Conrad Hilton, John Wayne, Bugsy Siegel (who was evicted), Howard Hughes, Diana Ross, Tim Curry, and Iggy Pop, to name a few. Werner Klemperer, is largely responsible for keeping this historic landmark from being demolished in the 80's when he refused to move out.
Front desk agents, valets, and housekeeping are all friendly and accommodating. I really enjoyed the hot and fresh cookies that were delivered with the turn down service. I have been back three times, and will continue to visit when I am in Hollywood. -

Check in was smooth and terrace bar/pool is serene. Room was pretty small but great views. Food was mediocre especially for the price. I sent my plate back as raw and they actually microwaved it and gave it back to me. Actual table service both at bar and restaurant was slow, which is bizarre because there is about two employees for every guest table?
... so yeh.. meh I 've had better. -

Beautiful, iconic historical aspect aside.....the hotel's not that great.
*Rooms are TINY.....I got the next level up from the basic room, which was one king bed, which left about two feet of room around it. Upside, the beds were comfy and they had an ipod alarm clock. But, definitely not worth the cost.
*Staff at the front desk were pleasant, but that experience was crushed by the oh so rude and snobby VALET! The guys made snide remarks and gave horrible looks to myself and friends. If this had happened once, I would've brushed it off but it happened at arrival, coming and going and at departure. Note to valet staff: You're f-ing valet staff, buddies, not leading men in Hollywood!!
*Location, location....the only reason why they can charge these rates for mediocrity. -

Five stars to the hotel itself...it's a landmark, incredibly gorgeous, and romantic to boot. I'd say four stars for events however...
The pool area is lovely as is the bar...drinks (the mixed varietals) are on the pricey side to match the decor (about $17 a pop...at least for a mint julep!)...and the terrace boasts a remarkable view of the city, especially at sunset. You'll feel like you were blasted back in time to the 30's when Hollywood was, well, sexy.
I've been here a few times for various things (and when the hotel was the Argyle) but have yet to stay the night so I can't attest to the comfort of the beds, etc., but the rooms are quite nice and have a richness about them...
The bar is wonderful to come with friends for a cocktail and a night out on the town...or even for dinner with a date.
When I came for a New Year's celebration I was let down, but I have to say that it was most likely the promoter's fault and less that of the hotel's. It was so overcrowded and they didn't provide enough food for all of the guests even though it was all-inclusive. I even got stuck in one of the hotel stairwells AT midnight on account that the hotel would no allow people into certain rooms due to capacity. So while I commend them for sticking to fire code, I knock them a little for forcing me to hear the goofy guy behind me countdown from 10 with anticipation while I tried to scramble to my friends. Way to ring in the New Year! lol
I've also been for a wedding...and it was lovely...I wouldn't recommend the hotel for a wedding party of more than say, 50, however. It gets crowded and there is only so much space for both a ceremony AND for dinner. Other than that though...the Sunset Tower offers a very intimate location for nuptials...and the pool at sunset...divine. -

If you must stay here (as in Sunset Boulevard), you must stay here (as in this hotel). Yes, maybe countless celebs once lived here, but these days you can get a piece of the celebrity lifestyle by staying in these glam digs for a few days. They decorated the rooms in an art deco style. For us, they left us C.O. Bigelow products in the bathroom. And they had an IPod station with speakers and an alarm clock in the room (also, leaving us a little note that if we "left our IPod at home" we could request one downstairs).
We were running into celebs all over the place at our hotel. And when we went to the downstairs dining area, it was one of the most elegant, low-key places to hang out at in the whole Boulevard. I would stay here again.Listed in: How We Roll When in L.A.

This is a "hit-and-run" review: I was in town for less than twenty-four hours and chose the Sunset Tower for it's location and price. (Get the Expedia deal and score a room for $199/night).
Yes, I got a cheap deal on Expedia...so I got one of their cheapest rooms. Nicely decorated, but a bit frayed around the edges. Cracked tiles in the bathroom, tiny room, noisy location facing Sunset. Even though the room was tiny the bathroom was spacious. You get a flat screen TV and iPod docking station and luxury toiletries.
Since I was "in and out" I can't attest to any of the other amenities such as the pool, gym, etc.
Oh: the real pisser - not being told about the $35 dollar per night valet fee. That's something I really think should be disclosed up front, not when you're checking out. Puh-leeeze. -

The top suite is awesome.
A while ago, there was a heat wave in LA. Our Brentwood apartment was cute but did not have a very good air conditioner. So my roommate at the time and I decided to check into the Sunset Tower Hotel to cool off for a couple of nights. Somehow we end up in staying in the top floor penthouse suite. I believe there are two suites on the top floor. Ours was huge, with a giant wrap-around balcony with panoramic views of LA. The suite itself was very very nice, it reminded me of the St. Regis. What did we do? We had an awesome party. What a great hotel, with one of the best party suites I have seen. Be sure, sure, sure you go for a night swim - their pool also has awesome views and is tons of fun.Listed in: LA Food, Hotels and Resorts, Hollywood

Review from Gene D.

Landmark Deco building that once housed names like Gabor, Powell, Flynn, etc. During the entire 70's and half of the 80's it was a boarded up mess, perfect for neighborhood kids such as myself to break in and strafe the pool with some skateboarding.
Watching it transform was exciting. It reopened as the St. James Club, a very tony membership for travelers to London, Barbados and L.A. . Then it became The Argyle.
As the Sunset Tower, two things were done SO right. First, bringing in Demetri and his front of house skills to its restaurant by taking him away from Bel Age, was absolutely brilliant. Beyond this, the rooms are incredible.
If seeking the entire L.A. experience, staying here is a very good start indeed.Listed in: Bling Gene

Our new favorite hotel in Los Angeles
My husband and I had a beautiful jr. suite, #809, facing south over the City of Angels. Staff, from arrival to departure, were very pleasant and attentive. Continental breakfast included fresh goat milk yogurt, an incredible treat spooned on fresh berries.
We savored the history of the building and can't wait for our next stay! -

I had known this hotel back when it was the Argoyle Hotel, but since have moved from the area. We (30/40ish couple) needed a hotel for the night and booked a room at the Sunset Tower. Very pleasantly surprised at how much we loved this hotel. It is more boutique and smaller than some hotels, but the service was impeccable and over-the-top helpful and welcoming. We had lunch by the small but nice pool and drinks in the Tower Bar later in the evening. It is a lovely hotel the way they have kept the original old Hollywood hotel glamour/luxury and historic feel. It has a laid back energy and cool atmosphere. The rooms were beautiful, with great views of LA or the Sunset strip, and the bed was very comfortable.

An elegant upgraded hotel, the Sunset Tower Hotel, is juxtaposed the hipster Standard Hotel. It is a hybrid modern minimalist with an old school Hollywood touch. The modern finishings coexist with the old, as in some light fixtures and pictures of Dietrich, Monroe and Garbo in the walls. The staff is uber professional, discreet, polite ... and amazingly all GQ looking... just gorgeous men. It made me think I was in a high end gay hotel, but it was confirmed that most of the staff are actors in the making just simply trying to make a living.
An immediate fivestar for upgrading my Guestroom reservation into a Suite with two flat screens, an iPOD docking station, a gorgeous view, fantastic bathroom and shower, free wireless internet access, and impeccable service. The bathroom amenities were KIEHL! .. yum, yum and yum!
The gym was a treat! I could not help myself, I indulged for another 2 hour of workout (even if I had a prior 5:30am 4 mile run in my earlier business hotel). Each treadmill had an onscreen personal TV while the nautilus and weights equipments were all new and shiny.
I spent a wonderful Friday afternoon unwinding from a week of geek training, enjoying my suite, wrapping up on emails, and prepping up for a night out in LA-LA-land. -

I enjoy the fact that the hotel is different from other cookie cutter hotels. Of course, we had to pay a price for what you normally find in an old hotel; thin walls. But otherwise, it is clear that the owner spent some money and upgraded all the details. Normally, water pressure is a problem for an old hotel but I didnt find it as an issue. It was very well maintained and great service.

If I could go lower on this rating I would. Charming website suggests that you can enjoy your lovely afternoon here by the glorious pool and then traipse up to your fantastic retro room to get ready at a leisurely pace while appreciating the luxury surrounding you. UM NO!!! A) Hotel is under construction, B) Pool was not even comparable to that at local YMCA, C) Manager stauchly refused to accomodate us in any way due to our dissapointment, D) Ice machines broken, E) PHONE IN ROOM NOT OPERATIONAL. I actually spent my stay hanging out at the Standard next door....where the rooms were cheaper. Now that I have egg on my face for this huge mistaken, you don't need to.

i have a better opinon of this than Claire. I stayed here and it was fine for the money. In fact, I would argue that it's an okay option if you're on a budget. The rooms are okay; the staff is lovely. The only issue I have is that the place is haunted. If you believe in that kind of thing...

For Thanksgiving the Colonel wanted to get away from his place so he invited me and his friend Wendy to dine at the Tower Bar. Having already eaten a home cook meal, I decided just to get dessert. But the place is great, a wonderful view of Hollywood and it had a very nostalgic feel to the whole experience.

I would give it five... but I am from the mid west and the pool is a filthy puddle of cold by detroit standards. NOw the GOOD: The front desk, the tower bar... everything is perfect. I would say this staff beats the shit out of beverly wilshire hands down. I found the front desk, janice the chef whose food was soooo good i insisted on meeting to thank... the oddly named vixen tending tower bar and everyone else to be genuine and beyond comparison. Their GM should be commended as the real hero, his/her accomplishment is getting all of these fantastic employees under one roof. Kind hearted, honest and socially adaptive are a few words that leap to mind when i recollect the hotel staff they were nice to me if i looked like a gentlemen or hobo!... Except for their shit ball freezing ghetto pool, with the pudding skin of pond scum, this is literally one of my favorite hotels in the world. the staff to me is what makes it! anyone can build a cool building but the people you hire create the experience the kick ass art decco didnt hurt...It seems like hollywood tears down all of their old buildings like sets. Its a shame and a different rant. I was there a week and one drunken work night I lost my credit card after metal school. It was one very vile monday night that should have eneded 3 hours earlier but didn't. When I awoke, I started to panic like a white collar criminal in general pop. These fantastic humans not only gave me home made cookies every night but found my lost credit card and gave me extra cookies. Their crack tight security squad which isnt visible found my card in the lift and returned it to me post haste.
Sure I want them to build a real pool where they host weddings ... but i can want in one hand and shit in the other....., a nice indoor/outdoor pool that can be covered clear for weddings, where you could dance over water and this place would rival the villa de este...in italy..
I fell in love here. this place is beyond fantastic..... god damn that pool its literally like a rabbit turd in your last meal mashed potatoes. Golly, I wish they would at least clean it and heat it for our sake ...sure they dont want to swim, but we do.
**you know what sunset tower please heat it year round for us uncooth mid coasters and its a five star joint...Do it! Your winter is our fall. My friend says swimming in a heated pool in the fall with perscription thunderfuck is the best feeling in the world.... I can only tell him that doing it a filthy cold pool is no bueno. -

One of my favorite buildings in all of LA. I love this hotel! Very deco! Very elegant! Very nice! The bar is great. You can have a drink and talk to some one at the same time. No annoying techno. No ridiculous frat guys and no slutty chicks. Just all class. If you want to stay somewhere a little different and want a taste of old hollywood in its hay day, stay at the Sunset Tower hotel. Im 37 (not super old) and My wife and I had a great time and will be back soon.

I think the building and architecture here are gorgeous, but the hotel stay was very bland. We stayed here a few years ago when it was the Argyle, for my DH's birthday. The hotel was under construction and the lobby was small, the elevators slow, we had asked for an extra rollout bed on check in and by the time we came back from dinner AND partying, the extra bed was still not there and we had to call AGAIN. The room itself was gorgeous, but not that big, we had a great view, but sadly then, the pool was also being worked on and closed. The louvre windows in the room were a bit of trip, I'm sure they are not 100% safe around drunks! The bathroom was also quite small and overall the interior decor was spartan. It's a convenient place to stay if you're going out on the Sunset Strip, but overall I don't think I'd stay here again. I really liked Le Montrose a lot more.

We came for a friends private birthday party in the "terrace room" which was so ugly and bland -it felt like a convention hall-There is no art deco or anything worth writing about-The staff was rude and kept following us around like we were going to steal something-very uncouth-Many people at the party were turned off by this attitude-especially at a private party
The front desk was a mess-the valet guys out to lunch-Perhaps they just want old fuddy dutties to stay here? Seemed like they really hated the party group (professionals 30-50) and they let it be known-Even tho we were spending loads of money with drinks and parking and rooms-
What a surprise that this gorgeous building has been striped of its soul from the horrible people working inside-The service and attitude a joke-for such a "fancy" hotel-
Yes it HAS a great history with many pasts but it is sad that the service does not respect the hotel-and then has the balls to to charge top dollar for such a poorly run hotel-
We had a nice but small king room on the 14th floor facing east-Nice view nice linens-BUT the NOISE from the Street and Cowboy Bar across the street was so loud ! The noise from the bar echoed off the building and you could even hear peoples conversations even being up 14 floors ? Finally fell asleep at 2am when the bar closed only to wake up to the same bar cleaning up and vacuming at 6AM?
Yes 6AM ?
I called the front desk (keiko) but he was apathetic to my needs-and was useless-When I pay $350.00 a night I expect some service and not some rude ass-
I have stayed at many high end hotels and this place was by far the worst I What a shame and Sham-
The art deco staircase was the highlight of the place-
I will never stay here again-the price and service do not match -
Total rip off-Go stay at the Standard or Modriann
GO by for a drink at the bar and check out the art deco-thats all -

Recently stayed here in December 2006, there were 6 of us staying here for a work function. I had the best room out of everyone. I had a super cool retro 1 bedroom suite. Don't know how I swung that but all the other rooms were similar to what is pictured on the web site just not as new and fresh. The room was on the 6th floor, it was a throw back to the art deco period only newer. I would recommend this hotel it was fun hip and centrally located on the Sunset Strip. The staff was nice and accommodating. The room service at breakfast time takes about 45 - 1 hour even if they quote you 30 mins. I can see how it might disappoint if you get a regular room.

Review from Stephen S.
Milwaukee, WI

Here I sit at LAX, wishing I was back in my room at Sunset Tower...at least it isn't winter back home in Milwaukee or I might find myself walking out of here.
STH is my favorite hotel anywhere...Chicago...Miami...LA...this really was a great place!
And I only happened upon it by chance of this great network of friends on Yelp!
Everyone from the valet team to the bellmen to the front desk staff to housekeeping is top notch and dedicated to ensuring your stay is to your satisfaction--AND MORE.
One of the stars of the staff is Johanna at the front desk!
You'll find that each and every time you leave or return to the hotel you are greeted by no less than two staff members...a nice touch are the fresh flowers next to the elevator!
A great spa (Argyle) is located downstairs from the elevators--CHECK IT OUT!
The pool here is NICE but nothing to rave on and on about...a bit small, limited seating for about ten in the sun...a patio is adjacent to eat breakfast and lunch...but service was a bit complacent during the afternoon and could use some improvement in attentiveness.
Rooms are VERY COMFORTABLE. Beds are the best...nice and soft and very fresh. Bathrooms are very nice, particularly in the larger suites--LARGE walk-in showers big enough for 4, if you're into that kind of thing!
Housekeeping is SUPER! Just be on notice that they come in and out throughout the day servicing the room--from the cleaning to minibar service to delivering fresh afternoon fruit to turndown, which includes YUMMY COOKIES on the bedside table!!!
A few tips: try to get a suite that is on the backside of the building...if you're on Sunset directly you WILL hear the annoying Saddle Ranch rowdiness at night (and sometimes during the day too!) and it will be a bother. Also, if you're renting a car and want a backdoor to VIP parking rent something HUGE--we had an Expedition and it was too tall for the garage so we found our car parked right at the front door 95% of the time...kinda cool.
Within walking distance...try Pizza Rustica for a bite anytime...its less than a block to the left out the front door...also, right across the street is Starbucks...The Standard Hotel is located less than a block to the right out the front door and has a 24/7 restaurant! (Though I don't recommend The Standard itself...a bit rundown).
And, if you have a dog, Sunset Tower allows them and there's a GREAT dogpark right downstairs! Hart Park. Check it out! (Just to the right outside the front door and down the stairs to the park--the front desk staff can direct you).
STAY HERE. You won't be disappointed. -

Not only does this hotel have more history than most in the area, it has more style and class than any of them! They were the only hotel not sold out during the BET awards and Kandyland Playboy party. So we really had no choice. I didn't realize when I was booking it (for only $200.00 last minute weekend mind you), but it is the old Hollywood Argyle where Marilyn, James Dean, and a zillion other old Hollywood stars once lived. When we got there they didn't have a smoking room and apologized. They they quickly upgraded us to the top floor master suite with a balcony. I mean I knew I was pretty, but not that pretty :). Just kidding. They were GREAT! Cookies by the bed, free water etc in the room, and it slept 6! GREAT GREAT GREAT room lay out. My friend had burned her hand earlier in the night and they had HUGE ancient Aloe plants outside that save her burn! AWESOME experience. Valet was nice to go grab something out of the car we had left in the room. Next morning to the pool, only negative was that it was itty bitty, but no prob finding seats, a few "West Hollywood" boys in speedos lol, but good company & atmosphere. Posh and upscale...but fun. Drinks were pricey like usual BUT... ALLLL fresh ingredients! I couldn't believe it! If you are in the area STAY here! Don't wait like I did just because it is a well kept secret and the only thing not sold out :).

I was in LA for work for a couple of nights, and this place is no joke. The service is out of this world, and the amenities are abundant. The bar is the kind of place B and C list celebrities go to have dinner and drinks with producers and the other people who they think will get them work. This can actually be frustrating when you just want a quiet drink after a long day of work, but it's also kind of fun when your only in LA for a few nights. All in all, I probably wouldnt stay at the hotel on my own (unless I was trying to impress a girl) but as long as it's being expensed by the client, sign me up!

I was here the past weekend for a birthday party held in one of the ballrooms. The party was fully catered and had a bar; the bartender was polite and made good drinks. The food was great too. After partying the night away, we stayed in a suite on the 11th floor with a great view of Los Angeles. The room was decorated well and had several pieces of furniture to make it more accommodating. But other than that, I had a great time here and would want to stay here again.
