Bottom Line
The Langham Huntington is a luxury hotel with an elegant Old World atmosphere and 23 acres of lush, landscaped gardens. Its 380 guest rooms, suites, and cottages feature traditional decor, flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, minibars, and luxurious marble bathrooms -- though there have been complaints about malfunctioning air-conditioning. On-site amenities do not disappoint, with four restaurants, a bar, an Olympic-size pool, a spa with a whirlpool, and a well-equipped fitness center. Food and drink are pricey, however, as is parking, and guests complain of long waits during the breakfast service (which is charged extra). Rates are significantly cheaper here compared to similar properties in Los Angeles, possibly due to its removed, residential location that sits apart from major sights. Travelers looking to be close to Rodeo Drive could consider Beverly Hills Hotel.
