The Kimpton Hotel Wilshire

This Mid-City West boutique chain—owned and operated by Kimpton—sits right on bustling Wilshire Boulevard, but offers an escape from the city with its rooftop pool and restaurant The Roof on Wilshire. The outdoor bar/patio offers a full eclectic menu from chef Eric Greenspan and is a popular nighttime destination to soak in the city-lit views. Guests can bring their pooch to stay bedside, while enjoying free access to nearby LA Fitness gym, wi-fi and morning coffee/tea. There's also a yoga mat and Rodney Yee yoga DVD available in every room, plus a morning yoga class in the pool. Work on your tan and your boat pose at the same time.
