West Hollywood’s Sunset Strip is among the music world’s most legendary locales, and in the Hotel Ziggy, Sunset Boulevard finally has a proper rock-and-roll hotel. This goes beyond a bit of a musical theme in the décor, though there’s more than a little bit of Sixties influence in the interior design, as you might expect from a hotel named for David Bowie’s glam-rock alter ego. Classic concert posters and music-inspired murals adorn the rooms, and record players are provided alongside 55-inch televisions and Malin+Goetz bath products. The social heart of the hotel is the saltwater pool and the lively poolside lounge, where live DJs play and servers from the adjacent B-Side Pizza deliver to-go pies. There’s even a Shred Shed, where guests can rent guitars, amplifiers, turntables, and other music-making implements for a songwriting session or a bit of musical exploration. Perfect for the music-obsessed, and one of the most memorable stays in L.A.
