A cocktail bar styled after an early-1900s Parisian salon, set inside a historic building on Spring Street in downtown Los Angeles. The room is known for its ornate antique interior, and service runs five nights a week with late hours on weekends.
A rooftop lounge styled after the Côte d'Azur, sitting atop the Hollywood Grande hotel (formerly Thompson Hollywood) on Wilcox Avenue. The space serves cocktails alongside DJs and dancing, with views over the Hollywood Hills.
The Polo Lounge is the restaurant and bar of The Beverly Hills Hotel on Sunset Boulevard in Beverly Hills, a room once described as Hollywood's commissary with a history the hotel calls as fabled as Tinseltown itself. A candy-striped ceiling, comfortable booths and a pianist set the mood, and a sunny patio surrounded by palm trees hosts a Sunday jazz brunch. The kitchen serves American cuisine with an Italian edge, including the famed McCarthy salad, and the bar team will build a drink from its own repertoire for guests who would rather not choose. Director Pepe de Anda describes the atmosphere as magical, with a special energy. A dress code applies.
A neighborhood cocktail bar inside the 1926 Hotel Normandie in Koreatown, operating since 2015. The drink program spans classic and modern cocktails, and the bar describes itself as a community room built around personalized service.
These are the hotel bars specifically. The full Los Angeles guide ranks the best bars of every style, and the directory lists all 26 with a map and filters.
