Kimpton Hotel Palomar Los Angeles Beverly Hills

We very much enjoyed our four-night stay here. The hotel is in a beautiful residential area and is reasonably walkable to stores and restaurants. It’s also within a reasonable drive of numerous attractions (beaches, Hollywood, Griffith, Universal, etc.). Very cool lobby. Clean, quiet room.

Probably my last time at a Kimpton Hotel. Overall a nice looking remodel that can’t hide the age of the building Pros: - good looking rooms - great staff Cons: - shower alternated between scalding hot and absolute cold at 5 second intervals - WiFi average speed was 3.45 MBs. Pretty much unusable. Spent an hour on the phone with their tech support trying to troubleshoot. Got it working just enough to download my email - they charged me a $35 resort fee that included “premium internet” (see note above) - really loud air conditioning units - I asked for a quiet room and I could still hear the rumbling of the elevators

I booked a staying using points, for a "free stay" but this hotel ignores IHG term and conditions and charges a hotel worker protection surcharge. So even though I used points, they still charged me over $50/night in fees. Bridgett responded to my complaint with a dismissive response rather than removing the fee.

We enjoyed our stay at Kimpton Hotel Palomar. The hotel has a lovely chilled feel to it, and the staff were very welcoming as soon as we walked in. It is in a nice, safe neighbourhood. We ate breakfast at the restaurant once - while not cheap, the portions were huge and it was delicious. We had a good chat with one of the porters one morning, for the shame of me I cannot remember his name, but he was lovely. Our room was big, spacious and clean and we both slept very well. I would stay here again,

We stayed one night with two small kids and really enjoyed our stay. The service from the front desk was excellent and they go the extra mile. Upon check-in they gave kids free toys which is a nice touch. The lobby is beautiful with a small convenience corner for snacks and drinks, and there is a trendy restaurant/ bar with a games room and either a sit down service or a grab and go. It was great to have the healthy snack options like fresh squeezed juices, pastries and coffee. Prices are very reasonable too. The room was clean and spacious with some interesting/ unique art. Overall a great stay in LA and the location is within walking distance to shops and restaurants.
