The W Los Angeles-West Beverly Hills has spent $25 million on a brand new look. We took a peek at this unsuspecting hideaway nestled in a leafy neighborhood and were greeted by the sound of water babbling down from the entry steps. Up we went into a newly restyled Living Room with very stylish, modern furnishings. Guest rooms and suites have been refreshed to bring outdoor elements inside. They showcase a palate of blues, grays, whites, and hints of green. The theme of the guest rooms focus is on the reflections of the local scene and urban escape.

A DJ and $1,000,000 worth of electrifying new lighting energizes the creative and artistic habitués who make this their home away from home. Artists, writers, musicians and business men and women flock here for drinks, or just to nestle and relax in blissful retreat. Enjoy a signature spa treatment, manicure or facial at Bliss Los Angeles Spa, recently voted one of the top 75 U.S. Hotel Spas by Condé Nast Traveler readers, or kick back poolside in a private cabana at the pool where food is served.

Coming soon: a new restaurant and bar by The ONE Group will open STK Los Angeles, a modern, chic steakhouse. At night, the place pulsates with music and a hip young crowd. Rendition, a monthly fun live music series takes place in the newly re-styled Living Room. Inspired by the musical renderings of popular R&B artist, The Weeknd, specially curated by W Insider, Melissa Chinchilla, Rendition takes place the last Thursday of each month.

The W Los Angeles is perfectly positioned across from UCLA at the foothills of Beverly Hills/Bel Air, and minutes away from the Santa Monica beaches. Rated at AAA Four-Diamonds, expect casual glamorous California living. Visit http://www.wlosangeles.com.
