What guests think

At Kimpton Hotel Wilshire by IHG, travelers consistently praise the friendly staff, convenient mid-Wilshire location near major museums, and a popular rooftop with views, though experiences vary in a few operational areas.

Rooms are modern and comfortable for many, with some enjoying balconies or city and Hollywood Hills views, though a few found them small, stuffy, or noisy on street-facing sides. Recurring drawbacks include amenity and parking fees, an off-site fitness arrangement, occasional restaurant or elevator closures, and service inconsistencies such as slow responses, housekeeping delays, billing errors, or confusing check-in. Expect a stylish, well-located boutique stay, but budget for fees and some variability in operations.

Facilities

The rooftop pool, bar, and restaurant are a highlight, but the pool is small. There’s no on-site gym (off-site access only), valet parking can be tight or slow and adds cost, and there were occasional elevator or kitchen shutdowns.

Love the comfortable bed and spacious bathroom. The hotel has a really nice coffee bar at the lounge that includes a Nesoresso machine. One thing I did not like is their small elevator that does not fit their luggage cart so pack lightly.. Also their valet only parking garage only allows one car to go in or out so you might have to wait for another car to pull out before you can enter.

Great location! Was a 10-15 min walk to LACMA, Peterson auto museum, and motion picture museum. Rooftop restaurant and bar is fantastic. Food is great and view is incredible. Also a short 10 min drive to the Grove and other cool LA spots

Too many extra fees they they call convenience and luxury, but are just ways to get more money out of each stay.

Beware the unannounced “guest services” fee. Also note that fitness center is off site and for longer stays you have to pay extra to go there.

we just stayed at the Kimpton and it was fine. the rooms were clean but a lot if the fixtures (lamps, desks, table) were a little run down. What was MOST infuriating was when when we checked out they told us that there was a $35 daily amenities fee tacked onto our bill. PLEASE NOTE there were ZERO amenities. when I asked the person at the front desk what that included he said coffee and the gym. Mind you I NEVER even knew there was coffee available, when we checked in NOBODY told us that. I even asked for a water bottle one day and they informed me that they only give them at check in. More Importantly THERE WAS NO GYM!!! you could go to the gym down the street, however it was pouring rain every day we were in Los Angeles!!!! Just be transparent in your rates, there is NOTHING more infuriating than hotels sneaking an extra BS cost onto the already high enough cost because they want to squeeze few more dollars out of you. Amenities fees are for hotels that OFFER amenities!!!

Checkin was a bit of a hiccup but once the manager reviewed the details things smoothed out. We inadvertently left an orchid gift at the front desk during checkin and it mysteriously disappeared. Valet parking had a long line. Beyond that the hotel was clean, the roof top restaurant was the perfect place for a birthday brunch with amazing service. *that was the highlight of the stay.

Terrific hotel in the mid city area of Los Angeles. Perfect if you want to go visit the Academy Museum. The rooms are modern and clean with great air circulation. Hotel staff is prompt and super friendly. We stayed in a wonderful room on the fifth floor, complete with a deep, soaking tub, which was excellent. We’ll stay again!

The sheets feel cheap and almost plastic, like they might be waterproof? They were very confused and uncommunicative at check in- she took all my information, then told me to wait a minute and walked away into a back closet for almost 10 minutes. Multiple other staff walked to and fro and not one asked if I was being helped. She came back and I asked what was going on, and she said she wasn’t sure if housekeeping was done yet and couldn’t get an answer. I asked if I could go up and look or just drop my bags and change because I had to go to an event, and she said no and that’s not allowed. I asked if there was another room they could upgrade or downgrade me into, I’d be happy to pay the differences, and she said she didn’t think so. Then walked away again. It was all very confusing and the entire process took almost 20 minutes. It would have been less confusing if there was more communication or acknowledgement from the front desk that it was not a great experience.

I think it was Expedia’s fault that when I showed up the double room I booked was not available. Had to spend 100s of $ to book an additional room. The hotel staff kind of tried to help but at the end was not very helpful. Both Expedia and hotel blaming the other. I am done with Kimpton and with Expedia. Forget about customer service for them.

I also left an item behind and twice I have been told someone will call me back and no one did. My items has yet to be recovered. Amazing food at restaurant and beautiful pool area and views were awesome!

We had a great stay at the Kimpton Wilshire. A highlight was the location, which had great walking access to Hollywood attractions like the Academy Awards Museum, the Petersen Automotive Museum, and the Grove. The rooftop pool/restaurant is a nice feature as well. The drinks, food, and view are great, and LA people pay a lot just to have the chance to use this facility that guests enjoy, including a discount on the restaurant as part of the amenities fees. They could use nicer plants in their Plant Pals program, but that's nitpicking and overall it was a great stay, and the staff was quite friendly.

The hotel itself was amazing. Friendly staff, sizeable rooms (for LA), great restaurant and rooftop/heated-pool. My only complaint would be the neighborhood. I've stayed at a couple of Kimpton's in LA, and this would have to be my least favorite... only because of the location.

I have stayed at my share of 4-star hotels, and this was not a 4-star experience. In fact, there are 3-star hotels that deserve a higher rating in comparison. Pros: - The hotel is located in a safer neighbourhood relative to the DTLA area and provided easy access to our destinations. - Considering it is on a busy road, it was very quiet and we were not bothered by any noises. - Modern and well-kept. - Ample bathroom counter and shower space. - Has cute little rooftop bar with great cocktails. - Very polite valet service. Cons: - We stayed for 8 nights and were only given one pair of slippers. When we asked for a second pair, we were told they were out of stock and would have to wait a few days. A few days went by and when we asked again, we were told they didn't stock slippers. (??) - No pen/penpad in the room, and it was difficult to get in touch with the front desk when we needed assistance. - Room service removed our water glasses one day and left us without any. When we called the front desk to ask for some, they were delivered after two hours. - There are a number of hidden fees to watch out for, in particular the $46/night valet parking, as well as the $25/night service charges (which include WiFi). - In-room snacks were outrageously priced. - Staff were polite, but not extremely warm or helpful. Overall, was it horrible? No. However, I'm astounded at the level of service and lack of basic amenities for a hotel with a 4-star rating. Would not stay here again.
