Hyatt Regency Century Plaza is an institution in Los Angeles. Since its opening in the 1960s, every presidents (except Barack Obama) of the United States has stayed there during their official visit in the City of Angels. It's a sign that it has the highest standard of security you can ever imagine. But first of all the Century Plaza has a classic character that is not common in hotels in LA. I loved my room with its spectacular view of the whole area and a big part of LA, a huge bed where I could sleep 24 hrs without any problem. Every single piece of furniture is well chosen, smart, refined, timeless and never obnoxious.

Perfectly situated on the West Side, very close to Beverly Hills, this elegant Los Angeles luxury hotel allowed me to get to all my appointments in West Hollywood and my shopping sessions on Rodeo Drive within a few minutes drive. The hall of the Century Plaza is incredibly spacious offering many conformable options to sit, relax have a drink, a bite or work. And there’s a very important detail to mention. There’s a Starbucks inside the hotel, it’s quite enjoyable not have to drive to get your Frapuccino. Then I went to the pool to hang out with my friend Yams, I took a few photos of her, it was perfect because there were not too many people, you can literally have the pool for yourself during the week. After that I went to the world-class spa at Equinox Century City, which is located just next to the pool. I was impressed by how big it was. They have 18 treatments rooms including a couple of suites, two Thai rooms, three facial rooms three body treatment rooms and a manicure/pedicure suite, it’s everything a body needs in a setting like nobody has ever seen. It’s like a mini well-being city with minimal design, next to the hotel. Since I was in a rush I got a 1-hour relaxing massage. A subtle combination of hot stones and nice moves was everything I needed to release the stress I accumulated in my body lately. Century Plaza is a welcome retreat for classy grown-ups in the midst of the city, it is the ultimate master class hotel in Los Angeles.
