The Orlando

Overview

In LA’s sprawling metropolis, Orlando Hotel is as close as it gets to being in the midst of it all. Nestled in the mid-city district on 3rd Street restaurant row, the hotel is a quick drive to major attractions: it's 10 minutes to Beverly Hills, 15 minutes to Hollywood and 20 minutes to the beach. With it's location among trendy restaurants, it's best suited for the those without children as it can get noisy with the buzz of the street and the chatter coming from the hotel's own restaurant. 

Walk less than a mile to The Grove outdoor shopping center and historic Farmers Market (filled with unique shops and dining venues) -- site of movies like "I Love You, Man" -- and rest your legs on the free trolley between shops. As you meander through shops, keep your eyes open for celebrities -- it's a hot spot for them. Also within walking distance are the La Brea Tar Pits and Los Angeles County Museum of Arts (LACMA) and its famous Urban Light street lamp installation, that's worth a visit. 

The Churchill is a favorite local haunt for handmade craft cocktails, wood-fired pizzas, house made cured meats, seasonal plates, and it offers 20 craft beers on tap and plenty of California wines. It’s a bustling and trendy spot, so reservations may be a good idea for dinner or brunch. The Library Lounge offers another cozy room in which to sip on Churchill cocktails, while the Clover Juice Bar is the perfect place to recover the next morning with healthy cold-pressed juices. 

After a long day of sightseeing and beach bumming, come home to a small outdoor saltwater pool in a quiet setting and relaxing spa treatments, which guests can take in their guest room or in the treatment room. A fitness center with cardio and weight equipment ensures active travelers can maintain their beach-ready bodies. 

The boutique hotel underwent extensive renovations in 2011, so the spacious 300-square-foot guest rooms are fresh and updated. They feature a neutral color scheme and dark wood furniture and some have private patios. Each room is stocked with amenities including coffee makers with Starbucks coffee, C.O. Bigelow bath products and cozy robes.

Expect to get friendly service here as it has been a family-owned boutique hotel for more than two decades. In fact, the Orlando Hotel's friendly service has earned rave reviews on TripAdvisor, where it’s ranked No. 12 out of 327 LA hotels.
