Luxe Worldwide Hotels Blog

Have you ever experienced the wait for a taxi at the Los Angeles Airport (LAX)?  How about those car rental lines? So picture yourself arriving at LAX, harried and hassled — and there, what seems like a mirage, is a real live person, holding up a sign with your name, waiting to drive you to your destination.  How great is that?

Well, it’s all very real now — with the new 360° Luxe Hotels Signature Package.  No mirage here. It is all about comfort and pampering.

When you book a 360° package at one of three Luxe Hotels in California (Luxe Rodeo Drive Hotel, Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel, or the Luxe City Center Hotel) you actually get 360° degrees of service, meaning, they’ve got you covered from head to toe.  You get picked up at the airport in a town car (no need to worry about dragging bags to the taxi line), driven to your choice of one of the three hotels, depending on the location that is convenient to you and, when you arrive, you get whisked to an upgraded room, where you will find all the little luxurious amenities that a tired traveler cherishes.

It makes all the difference in the world…

It’s astounding how certain luxuries have the ability to generate so much pleasure… such as being personally greeted at the airport, finding a complimentary bottle of Shiraz wine in your hotel room, waking up to a fresh cooked breakfast, use of an iPad2 during your stay and complimentary Wi-Fi.

And no worries…when you are ready to go home, a Luxe Hotels town car will be waiting to escort you back to the airport — in time for your flight.  All this for only $360 per night!

But — should you like it so much that you want to extend your stay, your nightly rate gets discounted to $265. How great is that?  They say that personal attention is worth “its weight in gold.” Well, there you have it.

Whether traveling for business or pleasure, the 360° Luxe Hotels Signature Package makes travel more of an art form and less of a chore.

Most travelers can relate miserable stories of having had to put up with cramped hotel quarters and dingy environs at one time or another, whether because of schedules or proximity needs. Happily, when your travels find you in Los Angeles, whether business or just traveling through to get some extra sunshine or sea air, there is the Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel that literally becomes your home away from home.  It may very well offer greater indulgences than you ever get at home.

You have to try it to believe it.  Those of you, who know the hotel from past stays, will be surprised at the added enhancements since your last visit. The fitness suite is even better than you might remember.  It is now equipped with free weights, a multi press gym, treadmills, an elliptical machine, and recumbent bikes, that will surely appeal to any sports enthusiast.  The operating hours, 6:30 a.m. – 10:30 p.m., are perfect for those that like to workout early in the morning or can’t get there until late at night.

The boutique gift shop on the ground level of the property now offers high-end sundry items – a comforting thought for travelers missing those very needed items. Soon, the store will also stock Luxe-branded apparel and accessories including polo shirts, hats, mugs, and beach towels.

The rooms at the hotel located where Bel Air meets Brentwood are 45% larger than the national average size, making for a more comfortable stay.  The outdoor heated pool with its spacious deck and cabanas, all nestled in a hillside in the shadows of famed Getty Center, provides in and of itself, a quiet respite in the second largest city in the USA. The deck, often used for special celebratory occasions, is just steps away from the newly opened Luxe Hotels Sanctuary Spa.

Locals love the property and often frequent its upscale bar and restaurant. Indeed, the hotel is as much a part of the local community as it is a luxury destination for worldwide travelers, whether in Los Angeles for business or pleasure.

But you really have to check it out for yourself, the next time your travels take you to LA.

It is to be expected that we would brag about our Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel, the property that really is an urban enclave in the midst of bustling Los Angeles. We would naturally also point out that our rooms are 45% larger than standard hotel rooms, and that out spacious pool deck and delightful Sunday Jazz Brunch are special favorites among our guests. We would also brag that the amenities that the hotel offers have now come to be expected by our guests and that they are the very lure that brings them back again and again to the Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel in Los Angeles, CA.

But, as we said, our bragging is to be expected, so it doesn’t so much matter what we say, but rather what our guests say. And we are delighted to share some of their own observations and experiences — in their own words, as seen on our Trip Advisor page:

“We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights in July 2011. It is conveniently located right off Highway 405 so we could hop onto the highway to get anywhere we needed to go. Luckily we were upgraded to an executive suite when we checked in so we had a large room for the 4 of us. We stayed in the building near the pool and tennis courts. The pool is magnificent with beautiful furniture and plenty of towels. In the morning we would drive over to San Vicente Boulevard, which is a 5-10 minute, drive away where there are plenty of cafes and restaurants for breakfast. We really enjoyed our stay in LA.” – From August 2011

“It is a hidden gem of a hotel, enough distance from the hustle & bustle of downtown LA, but close enough to enjoy LA’s many attractions, beaches and shops in nearby Beverley Hills. We were blown away by this hotel and would recommend anyone to stay there.” – From July 2011

“ I stayed at this Luxe property for business. It was conveniently located to the area I needed to be. I travel with a lot of gear, and the hotel staff was tremendously helpful with assisting me with all of my suitcases. I didn’t need to lift a finger while on the property! Also, the restaurant is absolutely outstanding! I highly recommend enjoying lunch or dinner if you have the time. Fresh, quality produce – very healthy – with a beautiful presentation. I did not have the opportunity to enjoy the pool, sauna or spa – but will intend to with a return trip. The free Wi-Fi was also a BIG plus.” – From July 2011

“Luxe is in probably the best suburb in LA, Brentwood, which is a beautiful neighborhood and safe to walk in – the main reason we stay there. The hotel itself is neat, clean and pretty modern. We love the pool area and since we stayed last time they now have a bar at the pool and provide cold water and apples along with cabanas. The staff is all so friendly and helpful. It’s very quiet, we never heard our neighbors in the next rooms if there were any. There seriously isn’t much to complain about this hotel and I think if you can find something, you will be pretty hard to please anywhere.” – From May 2011

“The staff at this hotel actually love their job and enjoy making people (no matter who you are) feel important & valued. Valet, bellmen, front desk, concierge, restaurant, after hour’s managers and security all go above and beyond everyday. I’ve never stayed at a hotel that the staff are so consistently good.” – From April 2011

“After my recent stay, I asked myself what makes the difference between exceptional or outstanding service, which I’ve experienced elsewhere, and the extra something that was evident at this hotel. The thing I’ve been able to identify is that their employees are obviously well trained to deliver great service but in addition to this they also like working there and appear to enjoy the people they interact with. They were joyful and happy to do their jobs and we very much noticed and appreciated this distinction. People who genuinely like their jobs and their boss and their co-workers plus the people they are of service to is actually something that can’t be trained and is not easily defined but we all definitely know if when we see it. I highly recommend this hotel.” – From March 2011

Do remember, as you read all these generous compliments, that they come from the guests that had those very genuine experiences while staying at the Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel and that their enthusiasm about their stay led them to write about it — unsolicited.

Why not check it out for yourself on your next trip to LA?

Imagine… 45% more weekend time, 45% more in your paycheck, 45% more closet space or 45% more floor space in your own home.

Well, maybe you can’t get it all, but you can certainly find that extra 45% of space in the guestrooms and suites at the Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel, when “breathing space” is much needed after a tiring day on the town or spent in exhaustive back-to-back meetings.  It matters when you consider the opposite – cramped quarters with the bed taking up most of the room’s walking space.  It also matters when you have to basically maneuver what seems to be an obstacle course, just to get to the bathroom without jamming a leg into a piece of furniture.  Room space just about trumps most everything else in terms of hotel comfort.  Any room at this hotel rivals a small apartment in square footage.

Staying at the Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel means that you don’t have to accept tight quarters as a fair trade-off for other hotel amenities such as abundant space, chic surroundings and superior services – think canopied beds with plush linens, vibrant color palettes and complimentary cappuccinos upon check-in.

Cozy isn’t all that it is cracked up to be. The real story when hearing cozy as a descriptor of hotel rooms, is that it means really, really small and has little to do with comfort or even ambiance.

Indeed, even the property’s smallest accommodations are approximately 45% larger than the national standard hotel room, offering more than 550 square feet of space to accommodate bulky and oversized luggage, a proper desk for business paperwork, closet room to store prizes from the day’s shopping trip or enough space to stretch out tired legs for more than one person.  The one-bedroom Luxe Suites provide even more – 800 square feet of living space.

The hotel, located where Bel Air meets Brentwood in the heart of Los Angeles, highlights space throughout its environs.  Set on seven acres, it boasts a tennis court, expansive pool area, a recently opened Sanctuary Spa, as well an indoor/outdoor ballroom space for your most lavish and special occasions.  Travelers can also spread their wings from the hotel, as its locale offers convenient proximity to the famed Getty Center, Beverly Hills and Southern California beaches.

So go ahead, stretch…
