The Best Western Plus Sunset Plaza Hotel is a Cozy, Casual Respite on the Sunset Strip

A charming alternative to the Sunset Strip’s trendier hotels, the Best Western Plus Sunset Plaza Hotel provides a serene, romantic atmosphere with special attention to amenities for its guests.

Italian-villa style touches, including a garden-esque courtyard centered around the property’s beautiful swimming pool, make this hotel an oasis of sorts. It’s right in the middle of the Sunset Strip’s bustling nightlife and shopping destinations but it feels private and relaxed.

The outdoor pool might be the biggest draw, great for a cool and refreshing dip during the day or a soothing swim when its heated at night. Its surrounding areas offer picturesque leisure with lounging chairs and tables, perfect for napping, working, or socializing with friends. Tourists and business travelers alike enjoy fast free Wi-Fi, a fully ­equipped workout room with a treadmill and an elliptical machine, laundry facilities, and free EV charging stations for electric vehicles. Rooms and suites come with a high-def TV and premium satellite channels, iPod dock alarm clocks, personal coffee and tea makers, digital safes, and USB power outlets.

Wonderful warm wood furnishings, comfortable beds with tufted headboards and fluffy pillows, plus delightful views of the courtyard and garden (ground rooms open up to the pool area) add to each room’s visual appeal, while the lobby’s toasty fireplace provides a nice place to hang out in Fall and Winter months.

A free full breakfast buffet (eggs, made to order waffles, fresh squeezed orange juice, and more) is available for all guests till 11 am daily, while The Strip’s most popular barbecue restaurant, Saddle Ranch Chop House, serves as the Best Western’s official room service provider.

Just a short stroll away, Saddle Ranch is definitely a fun place to visit during your stay as well, as it has one of the liveliest atmospheres on the Strip thanks to its famous mechanical bull ride challenges. Also nearby and worth checking out: The Sunset Tower’s bar and restaurant next door, The Standard Hotel’s bar and nightclub called MmHmmm, and the Mondrian’s outdoor nightlife scene at Skybar.

The Sunset Plaza is a Best Western Plus hotel and customer service is a big part of the extra attention you’ll get here. The front desk is open 24 hours and the staff is available to help with sightseeing tours, ticket sales, and car rentals. See their website for more things to do in the area.
