The high-profile set hides out at Raffles L’Ermitage, a sanctuary that protects guests from prying eyes. The pool and spa are for guests only, which isn’t always the case at L.A. hotels. This hotel sets itself apart by its intimate vibe and exclusivity. Each guest is given elegant, personal attention. The rooms are notoriously spacious with cutting-edge technology, large walk-in closets, English sycamore paneled walls and balconies overlooking lovely tree-lined Burton Way, so you might never want to leave (except maybe to swing into the nearby Christian Louboutin boutique). Behind the sparkling façade of twinkling blue lanterns dotting the trees outside, you can enjoy JAAN’s updated Californian-Asian fusion cuisine indoors, at the private Pavilion or in the newly expanded patio garden. And pamper yourself at the RafflesAmrita Spa—which employs both Epicuren and proprietary products, known for their natural ingredients and Southern California roots—without fretting about any disturbances. Privacy is top priority here, after all.
