Prices start at $28 for a bed in a stylish hostel like Freehand, and the most expensive reach $360. With 13 properties rated 8.5 or higher, you have a strong chance of finding an excellent stay.
If you're watching your budget, consider Freehand Los Angeles starting at $28, or Sonesta Los Angeles Airport LAX at $85 and Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles Hotel at $89. These are the most affordable options in our selection, located in Downtown and near LAX respectively. For a few dollars more, Hilton Los Angeles Airport at $100 and Los Angeles Airport Marriott at $109 offer reliable airport convenience.
Many four-star hotels in Los Angeles feature pools, often rooftop ones. For example, Citizenm Los Angeles Downtown and The Westin Bonaventure have rooftop pools, while Omni Los Angeles Hotel offers a rooftop option as well. In Hollywood, Loews Hollywood Hotel and Dream Hollywood boast rooftop pools, and The Hollywood Roosevelt has a heated pool. Near Universal Studios, The Garland provides a heated pool and a free shuttle to the park.
For early flights or layovers, several four-star hotels cluster around LAX. Hilton Los Angeles Airport, Sonesta Los Angeles Airport LAX, and Los Angeles Airport Marriott all offer free 24-hour shuttles and are priced from $85 to $109. The Westin Los Angeles Airport and Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles Hotel also provide free shuttle service, with rates starting at $114 and $89 respectively.
Downtown LA's four-star hotels range from historic icons to modern boutiques. The Biltmore Los Angeles, a grand property from 1923, starts at $118, while the contemporary Citizenm Los Angeles Downtown offers smart rooms from $143. The Omni Los Angeles Hotel (from $143) and Hotel Per La (from $188) add rooftop pools and design-forward touches. For a classic experience, the Sheraton Grand Los Angeles is a solid base near The Broad.
Free parking is a valuable perk in car-centric LA, and some four-star hotels include it. The Garland in North Hollywood offers free parking alongside a free shuttle to Universal Studios and a heated pool. Also, the Los Angeles Athletic Club in Downtown provides free parking for guests, along with an indoor pool and full spa.
Traveling with a pet narrows your options, but several four-star hotels welcome animals. The Hollywood Roosevelt by the Walk of Fame is pet-friendly, as is the Andaz West Hollywood on Sunset Boulevard. The Garland also allows pets, charging a fee, and provides easy access to Universal Studios. These properties combine comfort for you and your companion, with prices starting around $121.
For an in-room soak, look to suites at properties like The Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites, which offers rooms with jacuzzi tubs. The Hollywood Roosevelt also features suites with jacuzzis, adding to its historic charm. These options are ideal for a romantic getaway, with rates from $146 and $214 respectively.
If you prefer to prepare your own meals, consider properties with kitchenette-equipped rooms. The Garland in North Hollywood offers family-friendly rooms with kitchenettes, perfect for longer stays. Sonesta Los Angeles Airport LAX also provides rooms with kitchenettes, combining convenience with airport access. These are practical choices for both families and business travelers.
Families will appreciate the family-friendly rooms and amenities at The Garland, which includes a heated pool and free shuttle to Universal Studios. The Hollywood Roosevelt provides a central location near attractions and a pool kids will love. For airport-friendly stays, Los Angeles Airport Marriott offers spacious rooms and a pool, ideal for families on the go.
Typical rates for four-star hotels in LA hover around $159 per night, but you can find deals as low as $28 at Freehand Los Angeles and as high as $360 at premium properties. Prices vary greatly by district and season.
First-timers often choose Hollywood or Downtown. Hollywood puts you steps from the Walk of Fame and attractions like Loews Hollywood Hotel and The Hollywood Roosevelt. Downtown offers cultural landmarks like The Broad, with stays at Omni or Citizenm. Both are well-connected, but if you plan to drive, consider the free parking at The Garland in North Hollywood.
Many four-star hotels near the airport offer free shuttles, including Hilton Los Angeles Airport, Sonesta LAX, and Westin Los Angeles Airport. If you're staying Downtown, use a rideshare or the FlyAway bus to Union Station, then connect via metro or taxi.
Rates tend to dip during off-peak seasons like January and February, excluding holidays. Look for the lowest prices at budget-friendly properties like Freehand ($28) or Sonesta LAX ($85). Booking a few weeks in advance can also secure better deals.
Walkability depends on the district. Downtown Los Angeles is generally walkable for dining and nightlife, especially around the hotels like The Biltmore and Omni. Hollywood Boulevard can be busy but safe around major hotels. In contrast, airport-area hotels are not walkable, so plan to use shuttles or rideshares.
Los Angeles spreads its four-star hotels across a handful of distinct worlds: the glass towers of Downtown, the historic glamour of Hollywood, the convenience of LAX, and the hillside calm of Universal City. Each cluster offers a different version of the city — from rooftop pools and skyline views to quick airport transfers and family-friendly shuttles to Universal Studios.
At the lower end of the price range, around $28, you'll find stylish hostels-turned-hotels like Freehand Los Angeles in Downtown, mingling with well-priced airport stays. At the top, around $360, expect polished design and premium locations in West Hollywood or near the coast. Between these extremes, typical rates hover near $159, where you can find a mix of historic landmarks, modern boutique properties, and trusted brand names.
These four-star hotels suit travelers who want comfort and character without the five-star price tag. If you're visiting Universal Studios, consider properties like The Garland or Hilton Universal City. For families, the Garland's kitchenettes and free parking are a plus. If you need airport convenience, the LAX cluster is ideal. However, if you're on a tight budget, check out the Cheap and budget hotels in Los Angeles. For those wanting more amenities, look at Hotels with parking in Los Angeles or Pet-friendly hotels. And for a different experience, explore Motels or 2 star hotels.
