MOD Luxe Hotel Review: Kimpton La Peer Hotel

This stylish boutique hotel is comfortably nestled in the trendsetting Design District of West Hollywood. Fashion-forward travlers flock to this eclectic destination for its sleek, sophisticated design, buzzing social scene and bold, artistic flair.

Kimpton La Peer Hotel is the ultimate destination for travelers seeking chic, modern accommodations with a vibrant, artsy twist. This swanky West Hollywood property features 105 luxury guest rooms and suites, a rooftop event space, a heated courtyard pool with a poolside bar, and over 8,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor dining and lounge areas. Situated right in the heart of WeHo’s Design District, La Peer Hotel is just steps away from the sought-after shops of Melrose Avenue, as well as a range of top-notch restaurants, cool cafés, and high-end art galleries. The legendary shops of the famed Rodeo Drive are also in close proximity.

The stylish, sophisticated decor of this boutique hotel was heavily influenced by the surrounding neighborhood—a trendsetting hub, which thrives on art, architecture and fashion. La Peer’s interiors were expertly curated by L.A.-based Icelandic designer Gulla Jónsdóttir, who collaborated with a variety of artists, photographers and poets to create an artful symphony of locally-inspired design. Jónsdóttir’s rich juxtaposition of contrasting textures, shapes and patterns makes an instant impact and brings the space to life. The hotel lobby boasts cutting-edge details like white oak floors, statement light sconces, abstract wall art and custom furnishings.

Just outside the lobby is La Peer’s backyard lounge area, which includes a hip bar, heated swimming pool and fully furnished sun deck. The chic courtyard pool is lined with lounge chairs and olive trees, while the buzzy bar area is decorated with playful, grafitti-like designs. During happy hour and at night, the space becomes a lively gathering spot for guests and locals alike.

Rooms at Kimpton La Peer Hotel are as design-centric as the rest of the property, though with a much more calm, understated elegance. Each space is subtle and sleek with a dash of Hollywood exuberance and artistic flair. The soothing color palette of gray and beige is offset with intricate wall designs, refined wood furnishings, small sculptures and geometric gold fixtures. Suites add white oak herringbone floors while Deluxe Kings feature chaise lounges and a small seating area. The fourth-floor penthouse showcases Gulla Jónsdóttir’s very own furniture collection for a unique, contemporary twist. Standard guest bathrooms include open-plan showers and luxury amenities from Atelier Bloem—select rooms even offer deep-soaking bathtubs with separate showers. Finishing touches include mounted flat-screen TVs and mini bars—meanwhile, tall, wooden wardrobes are stocked with extras like plush bathrobes and slippers, iron and ironing board, a full-size umbrella and a yoga mat. There’s also complimentary WiFi available to IHG Rewards members.

This upscale property also offers an array of exquisite dining options. La Peer’s on-site, Mediterranean-inspired restaurant, Issima, features an exclusive menu of wood-fired fare and craft cocktails by Executive Chef Michael Fiorelli. This trendy establishment creates the energetic setting of a European beach holiday, bringing the bold flavors of the Mediterranean coastline directly to West Hollywood. The vibrant venue boasts three distinct dining areas—indoor, poolside and rooftop—where guests can enjoy a unique experience every time. Whether you opt for the opulent comfort of the interior dining room or the laid-back vibe of a poolside table, Issima’s delectable bites are sure to satisfy. On a clear night under the L.A. stars, there’s nothing like taking in the breathtaking views of the Hollywood Hills on the restaurant rooftop.

Additional amenities at La Peer include a full fitness center with modern equipment, rooftop yoga classes, and custom Kimpton bicycles available for rent!
