The pool at the W Hotel in Westwood is great. Green parklike souroundings...Lots of sun exposure..There are cabanas you can book that are around the pool for a spot to host friends and a bit of privacy. It is great for people watching although the service at this W was the worst I have every experienced. Be very patient if you have to deal with the hotel employees. There was also a small pool in a courtyard in the middle of the hotel....a little dark and drearry.
