Kimpton Everly Hotel

The pool

• 5th-floor rooftop pool
• LA skyline + Hollywood Hills
• Six cabanas
• Year-round

Why it's on the list

A 5th-floor rooftop pool tucked into the Hollywood Hills with six named cabanas, an outdoor lounge, and a skyline-and-hills panorama. Heated and open year-round — the calmer, more design-driven Hollywood rooftop.

The stay

The Everly is the calm one in Hollywood — design-driven and lower-key, with six named cabanas and a heated pool that runs year-round rather than a weekend party on the roof. It sits up against the Hollywood Hills near Hollywood and Vine, walkable to the Metro, which in this city is worth more than it sounds. At $$$ it's priced like its Hollywood neighbors but delivers a quieter stay — the pick if you want the location without the noise.
