One of the crown jewels of the extensive West Hollywood boutique hotel scene, Petite Ermitage is an all-in experience.

Many of the furnishings are one-of-a-kind, the halls are gilded with art, and the rooms designed to be a home-away-from-home, if you have a really nice home.

From the building’s facade to the extensive terrace garden, the entire property is draped in living green.

The Gardens at Petit Ermitage are truly unique and widely sought-after event spaces.

You can start the morning with hummingbirds buzzing around a little private oasis, and can end the night watching the LA city glow from the roof.

The hotel is populated by luxury suites, none smaller than 350 feet, and none exactly the same.

All are built and decorated to please, ranging from the queen-mattressed Demi Suite to the top-floor Executive Suites with their own kitchenettes.

You’ll find fireplaces, sumptuous living areas, speaker systems, and either a wet bar or a kitchenette in each suite.

The Junior Suites have notably charming balconies and convertible sofa beds if you need an extra space to sleep.

If you want to drop serious coin, take a peek at the Belle du Jour Suite. This ode to opulence perches on the top floor, draped in velvet and silk, staffed by a 24-hour personal concierge service.

The decor sets Petit Ermitage above the rest, including antique light fixtures, and ornate Turkish carpets.

You’ll find original art from some of the biggest names of the 20th Century (think Dali, think De Kooning) in select rooms and throughout the hotel.

You’ll find a rave-worthy breakfast buffet in the rooftop restaurant every morning.

At night, the menu leans Mediterranean with enough variety to keep everyone happy, along with stiff drinks and fine wines.

Unsurprisingly, the rooftop is also a feast for the eyes. The gardens are hummingbird party-havens recognized by the National Wildlife Federation.

We recommend booking pool chairs in advance, as, between guests and hotel members, they fill up quickly.

Within the building you’ll find a 24-hour gym with free morning yoga on Wednesday and Saturday.

Spa treatments can be taken in your suite; we recommend you pour yourself a mimosa from the mini bar to start the indulgence in style.

Some things guests liked:

“Very fun but dated hotel, great Old Hollywood vibe. Fabulous roof top pool area…”

“There was a magic about the property and the attention to details in the decor made it so special. The rooftop pool and garden definitely makes this place. it’s amazing! It’s right there near bars and restaurants in West Hollywood. The amazingly attentive service made me feel like a VIP.….”

Some things guests didn’t like:

”The room decor was nice and stylish, but could have been more theatrical like the rest of the hotel public areas. Valet parking was expensive, but prob the same as most of LA and US…”
