How to Do a Weekend in West Hollywood, California



So, you’ve got two days to spend in West Hollywood - where do you even start to make the most of all this vibrant, Los Angeles neighbourhood has to offer? With plenty of shopping, hiking and sightseeing and entertainment opportunities, it’s important to plan your time wisely if you’re hoping to fit in a little bit of everything.

Here’s our quick guide on what to see and do when your time in West Hollywood is limited, for those who don’t even know where to begin.

Check in to a chic hotel

The truth is, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to accommodation hunting in West Hollywood. With chic boutiques and big name brands to choose from, plus amenities to consider, it’s difficult to know where to start - but don’t dwell on your choice of hotel too much, because you’ll want to be out and about, making the most of the City of Angels!

Hotel 850 SVB West Hollywood At Beverly Hills is a wonderful all-rounder, with cosy yet stylish rooms and a fantastic roof deck, where you’ll be served complimentary wine next to a roaring, outdoor fire.

Explore the hotspots

Kickstart your weekend with a stroll along Sunset Strip where, unusually, glamorous high-end brands meet the slightly seedier side of the city. The Pacific Design Center is well worth a visit, too, perhaps not to go inside, but to admire from the surrounding streets; painted in bright shades of pink, blue and green, the Center sticks out like a sore thumb against the desert-like terrain, and makes for some  great pictures.

Let’s not forget the legendary Hollywood sign, which you can catch glimpses of from many a West Hollywood street, and of course the Walk of Fame which stretches over a mile on Hollywood Boulevard.

Be entertained

Hollywood is one of the most famous entertainment districts in the world, so it’d be a crime not to make the most of that when taking a visit to the area, even if it is just a flying one!

The Comedy Store hosts stand-up nights pretty much every night of the week, or there’s the Troubadour nightclub, which regularly holds live gigs from up-and-coming bands. Other venues include the Roxy Theatre and the Laugh Factory, so book some tickets, kick back and be entertained for the evening.

Take a hike

Although Los Angeles is a sprawling city, there are plenty of hiking trails dotted around and West Hollywood is home to a few of the most fantastic. No matter whether you’re a fitness fanatic, or you’ve never walked anything close to a hike in your life, there are several trails of various difficulty - all with the same breathtaking views to reward you with once you reach the top.
