When a visit to Los Angeles calls for posh accommodations, LA hotels from Downtown to the Pacific Ocean are at the ready with luxury-laden suites. Among the newest is the lavish “The Ritz-Carlton Suite,” on the 25th floor of the Ritz-Carlton, Los Angeles in Downtown.

Panoramic mountain and city views, executive study, living area, formal dining for 10, wet bar, a butler’s pantry (with separate service entry), and luxurious bedroom suite including walk-in shower with rain shower head are among the highlights.

If you need a Hollywood connection, the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel & Spa’s 3,500-square-foot rooftop “Panorama Suite,” is the ultimate in luxe, with floor-to-ceiling windows delivering bird’s eye views of Hollywood and all LA, and amenities including an over-sized Jacuzzi in the master bedroom.

The Renaissance Hollywood is conveniently adjacent to the Kodak Theatre, home to the Academy Awards®. The “Royal Suite” atop the 16-story InterContinental Los Angeles Century City, pampers visitors in 3,300 square feet of luxury living including gorgeous urban views, private dining, a butler’s kitchen, and master bedroom luxuries including a whirlpool bath.

Movie studio creativity combines with luxury at the Sheraton Universal Hotel (adjacent to Universal Studios Hollywood), which offers both a lavish “Presidential Suite,” with formal dining for six, two marble baths, and stunning Hollywood and San Fernando Valley views — and a luxe “Shrek Suite,” themed after the loveable ogre’s hut.

A woodsy décor including a king canopy bed adorned with moss and vines, a breakfast nook with tables made of twigs, pictures of Shrek, Princess Fiona and Donkey, and an emerald-hued bath, provide a fairytale-like stay.

For ocean-front luxury, the views are endless from the 2,200-square-foot “Vanderlip Suite” at the pet-friendly Terranea Resort on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.

Perched on a cliff above the sea, its sumptuous appointments include living and dining areas, a fireplace, in-suite pantry and kitchen, master suite with separate dressing room, and expansive ocean-facing balconies.
