Why it's on the list

The rooftop pool most likely to end up in your camera roll — the Hollywood Sign, the Hills and downtown all in the frame from eleven floors up, with Bar Lis alongside. Know what it is before you book: a heated four-foot lounging pool, not somewhere to swim laps.

The stay

The Hollywood Grande is the photogenic one — the rooftop that ends up in everyone's camera roll, with the Hollywood Sign in the frame and Bar Lis running alongside it. It's in the heart of Hollywood, walkable to the boulevard and the nightlife, which is the whole point of basing here rather than downtown or the coast. At $$$ it's fair for the location and the view, but know what you're buying: a four-foot lounging pool on a deck that's a scene first — come on a weekday morning if you actually want to swim.
