Westwood Village
Mid-century modern meets Parisian eclecticism. Nostalgic Hollywood silver-screen aesthetic with vintage art, original signage, red and white striped awnings, and low-slung furnishings in soft neutrals. Chic but approachable — more stylish boarding house than polished luxury hotel.
The Garden King and Garden Queen Double rooms have bay windows overlooking the private courtyard — worth requesting
Why It Matters
The original 1939 Westwood Village hotel building, lovingly restored by Palisociety founder Avi Brosh. It's the most design-forward hotel in this corner of LA, and one of the few boutique options genuinely within walking distance of UCLA, the Hammer Museum, and the Geffen Playhouse.
Palihotel Westwood Village is a 54-room boutique in the university neighborhood surrounding UCLA, occupying the original 1939 building that housed Westwood's very first hotel. The design mashes up mid-century modern with Parisian eclecticism — think Art Deco crown molding, Scandinavian sherpa headboards, chevron wood floors, and curved bay windows all under one roof. It's the kind of place that looks better in person than on Instagram, which is saying something.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
The Deluxe Garden King
At 330 sq ft, this is the most coveted king room in the building. A bay window looks directly onto the interior garden — that quiet, green outlook makes a real difference. One of the best rooms to request if you want calm and character in equal measure.
King · 31 sqmThe Deluxe King
Spanning 260–280 sq ft, the Deluxe King is the sweet spot for solo travelers or couples who want a proper amount of space. Same great amenities and design as the other rooms, just with more floor to pace.
King · 25 sqmThe Garden King
A step up from the standard King at 220–240 sq ft, with the added bonus of a view overlooking the hotel's private interior garden. Slightly more breathing room and a genuinely calming outlook.
King · 21 sqmThe Garden Queen Double
The largest room in the hotel at 385 sq ft. Two queen beds plus a bay window overlooking the garden — this is the pick for families who want the extra space without sacrificing the boutique ambiance. The bay window seat alone is worth the upgrade.
Two Queens · 36 sqm
The King
The entry-level room and the smallest in the house at 180–200 sq ft. Compact but thoughtfully laid out with custom bespoke furniture and original Art Deco detailing. Everything you need, nothing you don't.
King · 18 sqmThe Queen Double
Two queen beds in 325–335 sq ft makes this the go-to room for families or friends traveling together. Same design-forward finishes throughout — the extra bed doesn't mean the room looks any less pulled together.
