LA's Best Hotel Restaurants
Hotel restaurants are generally associated with reheated buffets and outrageous prices, but slowly, sloooowly, that reputation is changing. LA has a range of kick-ass restaurants located in hotels, but you have to know where to find them. The following hotels contain restaurants that have made an impression with visitors and locals alike -- and if a hotel can get a local to eat within its pricey walls, it's got a winner for a restaurant.
Le Parc Suites
733 NW Knoll Dr
West Hollywood, CA 90069
Why this place isn't more popular, I'll never know. The dinner I had there is still one of the best I've had in LA, ever. The chef is creative, he makes good French onion … soup, and diners can eat in a rooftop cabana. Good choice for a date night. [link]
Orlando Hotel
8384 W 3rd St
Los Angeles, CA 90048
The Orlando is a small-ish hotel hiding behind a grey façade, so you'd never expect to find one of the best Italian restaurants in town behind the walls. Seriously: so … delicious, so authentic. Go there. [link]
Hollywood Roosevelt
7000 Hollywood Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90028
The Roosevelt has, among many other things to recommend, two good restaurants. 25 Degrees is kind of the leader of the gourmet burger movement, and Dakota is a classy-ass … steakhouse. [link]
