You should search the posts, because I recall one that specifically mentioned certain rooms at one of the LAX hotels (Westin?) that have an outdoor hot tub where the guest has a great view of at least one of the LAX approaches.

Definitely the Westin & it's their Spa suites - large balconies with jacuzzis on them - can't remember which wing was better viewing, though - perhaps someone else can help? Do ask for one on the highest floor possible - I think the hotel is 12 stories & we've had one on the 11th, which was very cool.

One of the posts above reminded me of the thread I was thinking of in my first message: www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=566833

Hotel w/Best View of Airport Activity (LAX)?
May be going to airline collectibles show on 1/26. Looking for LAX hotel with good views over the field or of approaching/departing aircraft.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I've only stayed on the north side of the airport.
The Radisson is just on the other side of Sepulveda and if you get a room that faces north, you have a view of all approaches onto the north runways.

The Westin has a nice view of the cargo complex and the starts of the south (25L/R) side, the Radisson a similar view of the north (24L/R). The former Furama/Amfac Hotel is farther away but looks back at LAX from the ends of the north side.
