Petit Ermitage
Neo-bohemian European maximalism. Think Tsarist decadence filtered through West Hollywood's creative class — dark, plush, theatrical, and genuinely art-forward. Not a hotel for minimalists or anyone who wants to see their own reflection on a glass wall.
Pool beds are free but require reservations on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays — book ahead or you won't get one
Why It Matters
One of the few all-suite hotels in West Hollywood with a Michelin Key award. Established in 2009, it markets itself as the fashionable alternative to the Chateau Marmont — quieter, more intimate, and with an actual no-photos-or-videos policy at the pool. The private art collection alone (originals by Dalí, de Kooning, Rauschenberg, Miró, and Erté) would be noteworthy even without the rooftop.
Petit Ermitage is an 80-suite, suite-only boutique hotel on a quiet residential street just below the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood. Named as a tribute to Catherine the Great's Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, the property leans hard into the reference — jewel-toned interiors, original art from Dalí, Miró, de Kooning and Rauschenberg, hand-troweled Venetian plaster walls, handwoven Turkish rugs, and Moroccan tiles layered throughout. The crown jewel is the private rooftop: a heated saltwater pool (topless-friendly after noon), a fire deck, lush garden dining, and cabanas with 360-degree views of the Hollywood Hills.
Where You'll Stay
12 room types available
Belle Suite
Individually designed — no two are identical. Each Belle Suite has a deluxe king, balcony, marble bathroom, walk-in closet, fireplace, and a custom marble bar. Rich fabrics and residential detailing make this a popular choice for longer stays. The floral pink wallpaper, plush green rugs, and light-up vanity in some configurations are the kind of thing guests post about (even though the pool strictly forbids it).
King · 42 sqm
Demi Double
Same 350 sq ft footprint as the Demi Suite but with two full-size beds for up to four guests. Has the same fireplace, original art, and European residential atmosphere. A quiet, art-filled option for friends traveling together who don't need a lot of extra floor space.
Two Full · 33 sqmDemi Suite
The entry-level room, though calling it that feels reductive. At 350 sq ft it's compact, but a working fireplace, writing desk, original artwork, and layered textiles make it feel like a proper studio apartment rather than a hotel room. A good pick for solo travelers or couples who plan to spend most of their time on the rooftop.
Queen · 33 sqmExecutive Suite
At 550 sq ft, the Executive Suite offers more room to spread out. A gracious living area, fireplace, and Scandia bedding emphasize rest over performance. Art and detailing reflect the hotel's cultural sensibility. Designed for repeat guests who return often and stay awhile.
King · 51 sqm
Executive Suite with Kitchenette
Same proportions as the Executive but with a fully integrated kitchenette, making it work like a quiet apartment in the heart of WeHo. The sunken living area and fireplace are intact. Good for extended stays where the freedom to cook your own breakfast matters.
King · 51 sqmGrand Belle Bleue
One of the signature grand suites. Marble and bronze detailing, rare artwork compositions, and richly layered textiles shape the 550 sq ft. French doors open into the space, and a marble bath, concealed TV lift, and custom bar reinforce the sense that this was designed for someone with discernment. Feels curated, not staged.
King · 51 sqmGrand Belle Rouge
Designed by Dana Hollister, the Grand Belle Rouge reads as a living gallery. Handmade Chinoiserie screens, vintage tapestry seating, and art-forward interiors. A wraparound balcony adds an outdoor moment above the city. Marble bathroom, gilded fireplace, concealed TV lift, and custom bar — expressive yet contained.
King · 51 sqmGrand Belle Terrace
Designed by hotel owner Dana Hollister, this is the most theatrical option in the lineup. French doors open to a private terrace with its own outdoor fireplace — so you have two fireplaces in one suite. A marble bathroom with a stand-alone bathtub, gilded interior fireplace, concealed TV lift, and custom bar complete the picture. Maximalist and proud of it.
King · 51 sqmGrand Belle Verte
Jewel-toned interiors, vintage fabrics, and surrealist artwork pulled from the hotel's evolving collection. At 550 sq ft, it adds French doors, a marble bathroom, walk-in closet, and a sitting area to the expected fireplace and custom bar. Immersive and transportive — a deliberate counterpoint to LA's prevailing minimalism.
King · 51 sqmJunior King Suite
The king-bed equivalent of the Junior Queen, at the same 450 sq ft. Pairs a deluxe king bed with a sunken living area and writing desk. Layered interiors and a fireplace make it feel cultivated rather than corporate. A strong middle-ground choice.
King · 42 sqmJunior Queen Suite
Adds a sunken living area and private balcony to the Demi formula, giving guests a real sense of having a separate retreat space. A fireplace anchors the room. At 450 sq ft, there's room to breathe without crossing into grand-suite territory.
Queen · 42 sqmOne Bedroom Suite
The largest standard category at approximately 650 sq ft. A proper separate bedroom and living room, plus a kitchenette, makes this work like a discreet residence above the city. Designed for extended stays and repeat guests who want a full rhythm of work, rest, and retreat within a self-contained space.
