The West Hollywood Design District (WHDD) is the city's apex of shopping, art, and style. Sought-after stores, celeb haunts, and creative trendsetters.
The WHDD covers the Southwestern portion of the city, mainly bound between Melrose Avenue and Beverly Boulevard. The east-west borders are La Cienega and Doheny, with San Vicente cutting a perpendicular swatch through the middle.
