Best Pool In Los Angeles?
Looking to catch some rays and I'm trying to decide which hotel.
|
The St. Regis had a GREAT pool and a great hot tub, and was a GREAT hotel... I think you may still be able to stay there for a couple more days before it closes and goes condo. From my room in the St. Regis I could see the pool at the Westin next door in Century City. It looked really nice as well.
I don't think the westin bonaventure or the westin lax have pools. I could be wrong. And I know that the sheraton gateway lax has one, I was swimming in it yesterday. The hot tub at the sheraton lax is also not bad but we couldn't get the blowers working. I remember that the sheraton universal has a pool, but I never saw it by day. I can tell you that the management at the sheraton universal is probably the worst in all of starwood, and the chances of you getting an upgrade are almost zero. That's all the info I can throw in. |
I'm a fan of the W Westwood's pool generally (for comfort and people watching), though I'm not so sure it's the best for literally "catching rays." Don't know how many hours the sun is in position for rays to get by the towers. I'm not normally paying much attention to the sun when I'm there...if 'ya know what I mean. ;)

Many consider the pool at the Mondrian to be the best in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, they are not a member of Starwood. The pool is actually prettier than the website:

The Westin LAX has NO jacuzzi. The Sheraton LAX has new pool furniture and great cocktail service.
|
I also like the pool at the W.

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.

I stayed at both the westin Bonaventure and Westin LAX and they both have pools

If you are talking greater LA, then the St. Regis Monarch Beach is the best. Otherwise, I'd say the W (although not good for swimming laps).

Guess they don't want the pool attendants ticking off the inconsiderate and spoiled. :( If it were me, I'd equip each Adult Pool Lounge with a Co2 BB pistol, and place a large sign right by the Adult Pool that says, "Children Season!" ;) But these are the same parents of the kids that kick the back of your seat on airplanes. |
