Andaz West Hollywood

Andaz West Hollywood stands at 8401 West Sunset Boulevard on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, Los Angeles County, California. The building occupies the site of the former Hyatt West Hollywood, nicknamed the 'Riot Hyatt' for its rock-and-roll guests in the 1970s and 1980s, and it now operates under Hyatt's Andaz brand, which emphasises local character and a relaxed, design-led style. The location is one of its main strengths: the Sunset Strip's music venues, restaurants and shops are on the doorstep, the Sunset Plaza dining area is within a short distance, and Beverly Hills, Hollywood and the Beverly Center are all within a short drive. Public transit is limited, so most visitors rely on ride-hailing or taxis. Guest rooms are available as Andaz King, Deluxe King and suites, with modern, light-filled interiors and a residential feel rather than a traditional corporate look. Rates usually fall between about $300 and $600 per night, with a destination fee commonly added. The rooftop pool is a signature amenity, offering views of the Hollywood Hills and the city and acting as a social venue for guests and local visitors. Dining includes an on-site restaurant serving Californian cuisine, which is also used for breakfast, as well as several bars and lounges that draw an evening crowd from the neighbourhood. A fitness centre is available for guests. The hotel is pet-friendly, which appeals to travellers bringing dogs. Service is informal and contemporary, aimed at leisure travellers, couples, entertainment-industry visitors and business guests who prefer an energetic West Hollywood setting. Because the property sits directly on the Strip, nights can be lively, and light sleepers may prefer an upper-floor room facing away from Sunset Boulevard. Valet parking is the usual arrangement and carries an additional daily charge. Visitors planning a longer stay can combine the hotel's location with day trips to Griffith Observatory, the Getty Center and the beaches of Santa Monica.
