Best Western Carlyle Inn Los Angeles travel guide

The boutique Carlyle Inn stands in one of West L.A.'s older residential and business districts, only a mile from Beverly Hills, seven miles from Hollywood and 10 miles from Santa Monica beach. Named after the 19th-century poet Thomas Carlyle, known for his appreciation of elegance, comfort and the "art of living well," the European-style hotel is close to the renowned Rodeo Drive tony shopping district, the Sunset Strip, Century City, the Beverly Center, Melrose and downtown Los Angeles.

Original signed art, posters and prints are displayed throughout the four-story Carlyle, which features a private garden court and patio, outdoor spa, fitness room and use of a fitness center two blocks away. Chaise lounges, tables and chairs are set up in private niches on the large, secluded sundeck. Guests can enjoy daily complimentary breakfast buffets. The Carlyle doesn't have its own restaurant, but guests won't have trouble finding plenty of lunch and dining options. After all, this is L.A.

The 32 guestrooms at the Carlyle include custom furnishings, desk and chairs, original signed art, quilted spreads, refrigerators, safes, large mirrored wardrobes, VCRs and data ports.

Thirteen miles from Los Angeles International Airport, the Carlyle Inn welcomes many repeat corporate and leisure guests who want boutique-style surroundings removed from urban hustle.
