WEST HOLLYWOOD: THE DEFINITION OF HIP
West Hollywood isn’t just the geographic center of Greater Los Angeles, it’s also the beating heart of its cultural cachet. Nowhere is this more apparent than the iconic Sunset Strip, where rock clubs, fashion boutiques, cocktail lounges, comedy bars, and art galleries comfortably sit side by side.
This embrace of the eclectic is why WeHo, as locals call it, is often considered the hippest part of town. It’s the nerve center of LA’s vibrant LGBTQ scene. Its annual Halloween Carnaval is said to have inspired Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.” It’s a place where vegans, pet lovers, CrossFit athletes, design enthusiasts, and everyone in between will feel right at home.
How West Hollywood packs so much character into just 1.9 square miles is something of a miracle. One thing’s for sure, though: there’s never a boring day in “The Creative City.”

LIVING IN WEST HOLLYWOOD
A city known for its diversity is bound to be a welcoming place, no matter your lifestyle or life stage.
Shopping & Dining
The Sunset Strip has a wealth of boutique stores that offer one-of-a-kind goods. Meanwhile, Sunset Plaza is home to more than 50 businesses that can cater to your every retail need. Upscale shopping also awaits you in Beverly Center, which has over 800,000 square feet of shopping space.
If all that shopping has your appetite worked up, don’t fret – West Hollywood has an equally impressive slate of restaurants. The newly reopened Madeo, now in 1 Hotel, continues to serve exquisite pasta to Hollywood’s elite. Wolfgang Puck’s renowned Merois, meanwhile, takes fine dining to new heights — quite literally. If chic French cuisine in an equally chic setting is more your style, booking a table at Tesse is a must.
Leisure & Fitness
Pilates, yoga, Barre, CrossFit, spinning – no matter what workout you favor, there’s a gym for it in West Hollywood. The city also has its fair share of public parks where you can soak up the sun while burning some calories.
Visiting nearby cities is an excellent way to spend time as well. Why not visit the world-famous Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills or explore the many wonders of Santa Monica Pier?
Local Attractions
Of course, no discussion of local landmarks is complete without mentioning the Sunset Strip and its myriad entertainment options. Also on the strip is the historic Chateau Marmont, whose garden terrace is frequented by many celebrities. To spark your creativity, take a stroll through the West Hollywood Design District, where furniture stores, art galleries, and other cultural attractions abound.
