SLS Hotel Beverly Hills & LADiDa Rooftop

SLS Beverly Hills is a hotel for travellers who prefer design with a sense of performance. Philippe Starck's interiors mix glossy surfaces, unexpected objects and theatrical scale, while the location places Melrose, West Hollywood and Beverly Hills within easy reach. The current social centre is LADiDa Rooftop and its bar, where city views, cocktails and Californian plates suit sunset better than a rushed meal. The Nook handles quieter breakfasts and daytime dining, and the hotel also houses a small omakase experience for a more focused evening. Rooms lean dark and glamorous rather than residential, so the property will appeal most to guests who enjoy an active lobby and scene. Non-residents can book the rooftop without staying. For the best impression, arrive before dusk, take an outdoor table and let the skyline provide the restraint that the interiors deliberately avoid.
