Short Goes To The London West Hollywood at Beverly Hills

I write this from the balcony of my suite at the London West Hollywood and I couldn't be more pleased with my stay, nor can I emphasize the must in "You must stay here" anymore than the word already urges.

My Lyft shot me over to this regal hotel a little past noon. If you weren't paying attention this spot could easily be missed as it's somewhat hidden with a real lowkey one way entrance on San Vicente Blvd, just before the Sunset Strip where the Whiskey A Go-Go stands.
As an American Express Platinum cardholder I was able to check-in early and take advantage of a room upgrade that elevated my standard room to a Crown Suite. While these options are not always guaranteed I'm fortunate they were and the process to register me as a guest took very little time.
Once I entered the dorm I was beside myself and didn't know where to begin.

Tic Tac Toe Anyone?

After taking in the setup I browsed through the mini bar to discover beers, champagne, Coca-Colas, Red Bulls, juices and Coconut waters.

Above the fridge cabinet is an assortment of goodies and six bottles of liquor. K-cups of coffee and teas are found in a drawer below the Keurig percolator.

The bathing room is beautifully tiled, serenely lit and elegantly stocked with an oversized tub and a walk-in shower with individual heads on each side so couples can enjoy a rinse together. Bathrobes and a hair drier comes standard.

Downstairs I wished to treat myself to a rum mixer. The bartender who's name escapes me put together a nicely minted and citrusy Mojito. This would be my first Mojito ever so I can't justly make any comparisons although it did taste fantastic with the Salmon I ordered shortly after.

 The cooks did a superb job. Topped with ribbons of watermelon, black radish, and microgreens next to an avocado spread with veggies, every bite was explosive with flavor.

My only issue came in the morning. The creamers provided for coffee were spoiled so I had to take my cup black. I'm sure much time has passed since there's been company in suite 410 so I'll go off that assumption regarding the soured Mini-Moo's.

I had a cigarette before hitting up the continental breakfast. While the selection of items ranging from hot meals to fruits and parfaits were vast I kept it light with grapefruit juice and a plate made of a veggie omelette, croissant and banana which satisfied my normally tiny appetite.

Another perk of being an Amex Platinum member is the privilege of a late check-out so I basically lounged on the couch in my room and streamed music from my laptop until I ventured back downstairs to enjoy a Bloody Maria (which is where Tequila is used rather than Vodka) and finished off my day at the pool where I indulged on "The English Rita" which is spicy, and a couple glasses of "The Duchess" which in contrast is sweeter.

I departed with a very fine buzz.

Now, I have many other suites and hotels to cover in the coming months but to be honest I'm set on becoming a regular guest here. I've yet to explore the night life with comedy clubs and barhopping, see a picture in the screening room and experience the rooftop pool in the evening. It would also be a pleasure to meet living mascots Winston & Churchill, whom are English Bulldogs known to stroll through the property from time to time.

Thank you for reading up on this review. As I expressed in the beginning of this article you must find the chance to stay here sometime. Should that day come it is with the highest hopes your visit is matched with the same excellence.
