Guest rating: 4.1 / 5

Overview

Palihotel Westwood Village is a 4-star hotel in a restored 1939 building in Los Angeles’ Westwood Village area. It’s positioned for museum visits and UCLA access, pairing a classic exterior with a recently updated, design-forward interior that guests often describe as stylish and well kept.

Location

The hotel is at 1044 Tiverton Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90024, a short walk from the Hammer Museum (about 204 m) and about a 6-minute walk to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). For bigger LA sightseeing days, it’s within reach of destinations like The Getty (about 3.3 km), Santa Monica State Beach (about 7.6 km) and Santa Monica Pier (about 7.8 km), with Hollywood attractions such as the Walk of Fame (about 11.4 km) and Universal Studios Hollywood (about 11.8 km) farther out.

Rooms

Rooms are described as stylish, with contemporary artwork, and include complimentary Wi‑Fi, flat-screen TVs, safes, and minibars. Upgraded rooms add sitting areas, and some rooms have garden views. Guests frequently mention comfortable beds and a clean, recently updated feel.

Dining

A free continental breakfast is served in a chic midcentury modern dining room/lounge. Reviews suggest breakfast can be basic and repetitive with limited options, so some guests plan to eat elsewhere. The on-site coffee machine also provides hot chocolate and hot water for tea.

Outdoor Space

The hotel includes a furnished garden terrace, offering an outdoor spot to sit and unwind. Some upgraded rooms also face the garden for a quieter outlook compared with street-facing rooms.

Best for

This hotel suits travelers who want a walkable Westwood base near UCLA and the Hammer Museum, with easy access to major LA sights by car or rideshare. It’s a good fit for guests who value boutique design, a historic 1939 building, and convenient in-room essentials like Wi‑Fi, a minibar, and a safe. Based on guest feedback about noise and limited facilities, it may be best for shorter stays rather than extended trips focused on on-site amenities.

Travel tips

If you’re sensitive to noise, consider requesting a quieter room (for example, a garden-view option when available), as guests note evening hallway noise and limited soundproofing. Plan parking ahead: reviews indicate the hotel does not have dedicated parking. For sightseeing, Westwood puts you close to The Getty (about 3.3 km) and within a reasonable drive to Santa Monica’s beach and pier (about 7.6–7.8 km).

What guests say

Guests commonly highlight the hotel’s cute, beautifully designed look, friendly staff, and strong Westwood location near UCLA and the Hammer Museum. Cleanliness and a “newly updated” room feel are frequently noted, along with comfortable beds. On the downside, multiple guests point to limited soundproofing and hallway noise in the evenings. Reviews also mention practical limitations such as no dedicated parking, a very basic repetitive breakfast, and a lack of on-site facilities like a gym or guest laundry, which can affect perceived value on longer stays.
