Petit Ermitage

Spent the afternoon on their rooftop w a member and had the most lovely time. The front desk staff are insanely sweet, the cookies they give out don’t hurt either. What an amazing place to relax and enjoy a Los Angeles afternoon. Thank you to the front desk gentleman w glasses who was extra accommodating!!!
Can’t wait to go back!

What an experience!
I stayed at the hotel with my wife and daughter last week and had such a great time.
From the moment we arrived, until we left, our stay was great.
The attention to details was really perceptible.
The front desk staff is very friendly yet professional.
The restaurant menu has a good selection so everyone in the family finds its taste and staff is knowledgable and always thinking one step ahead.
Our room was nice and the décor just how we expected, old mansion style with a twist of modernity.
Concierge was helpful and had us booked in a couple of restaurants where you usually can’t have a reservation, very easily and always at great table location.
The pool and rooftop terrace are very cozy and you want to spend time there on the large daybeds.
Kids are welcome and treated as real guests.
I recommend this place for your next LA vacations or layover, and will be back for sure next time I go to the city.
Excellent job from all the staff and management. See you again very soon!

The Petit is a cute boutique hotel hidden back on a random street in West Hollywood. The rooms are all suites so they’re big (to this New Yorker anyway). They could definitely use a reboot though. There need to be more outlets, the fireplace doesn’t really work (I mean it clicks on but it doesn’t roar), etc… the housekeeping staff turns on every light in the room every day and I have to walk around turning them all off individually when I get back. Its not only wasteful, it’s pretty tiresome. The A/​C unit is wall mounted and loud. The breakfast bar is included with my room rate and very nice, however every item I’ve ordered from the food menu for breakfast or for room service has been almost inedible. You can’t get coffee anywhere before 7 am. Food is definitely not their forté — drinks are! The roof deck is awesome and the pool seems really nice. It’s been too cold this week but it’s salt water and decent sized. Looks fun! There are cool things happening every night on the roof, including movie night on Mondays and evidently some crazy party on Fridays. So come for the scene upstairs if that’s your jam. If not, you’re probably better off somewhere else. Also, not a kid friendly place.

Beautiful boutique hotel with all of the luxuries! After moving away from LA recently and coming back for a visit, I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to stay. The staff goes above and beyond, including the General Manger, Nicolas; the atmosphere and décor was reminiscent of a hotel you’d find in Europe; the room/​suite I stayed in had that old world charm… fireplace, cool furniture, green tiled bathroom, amazing smelling soap (seriously) and a super comfortable bed; and the food, absolutely delicious. This hotel is so amazing that I’m already trying to figure out when I can go back!

Nestled away on a side street you could easily miss if you’re unfamiliar with the neighborhood, Petit Ermitage is an exclusive hotel that I was luckily invited to from a good friend who is a member. We saw an incredible female duo, Ibeyi, perform that night and on any given Sunday you could see an incredible musical act perform indoors adjacent to their restaurant if you are lucky to be invited or to stay there.
Although I have not yet been lucky to stay in a room there, we did hang out in their rooftop area next to the fireplace and some outside heaters which was nice on a Sunday evening. I also ordered an entrée (unfortunately, I cannot recall the name) which had the perfect blend of black rice, mushrooms, and lentils, while I ordered salmon and avocado to bring out the flavors, coupled with a glass of Pinot Gris. So good! My friend and I easily spent 3 hours there which went by quickly due to the cozy ambiance that Petit Ermitage brings.
Parking was $ 15 for valet. There are complimentary cookies at the front desk for you to freely take. The food service was a little slow that night but it could have easily been that they were low staffed for the amount of people that they had to attend to.
I would gladly take another invite back if it is offered, or maybe look into membership someday. It’s definitely a great getaway if you have the opportunity to check it out.

Our favorite refuge !
Visited twice — loved it! From the bellman welcoming inside, the beautiful rooms — smell amazing, very clean, comfortable bed, strong water pressure. The managers and staff who constantly asked if you are enjoying your stay– and actually want to hear your answer (- thank you Nicolas.) The rooftop– best experience: not crowded (they allowed entrance only to guests of the hotel and their guests), amazing service, good food, lovely atmosphere & background music. In one word — PERFECTION! Very recommended!

The rooftop is an absolutely wonderful place to spend time with friends having cocktails. The staff is great and the ambiance is enchanting. Highly recommend this place.

Easily the most charming, friendly hotel this jaded traveler has ever stayed in. Exploding with character, attention to every single detail. The rooftop is stunning. Dining and bar (particularly the craft cocktails) are superb. Cuddle up under a cushy blanket on a bed next the the rooftop fireplace and you’ll never wanna leave. Absolutely and utterly impressed. One of a kind.

What a beautiful little boutique hotel hidden in the neighborhoods of Los Angeles. I’ve never been to Paris, but I imagine this hotel was picked straight out of Paris and put into LA. The hotel is decked out with lots of paintings in the hallways on every level and a whimsical rooftop garden/​dining area and a rooftop saltwater pool. Make sure to have brunch in the garden, the view up there is amazing! (Some of their room packages do come with brunch included). I felt like I was in a fairytale and I never wanted it to end.
I believe all their rooms come in suites. The one we stayed in had a separate living room area. I was quite surprised at how immaculate the rooms were for such a tiny hotel. Friday evenings, they have a really cool burlesque show which we barely made it to. I didn’t know this at the time, but these nightly shows are for patrons only. Definitely a must!
All in all, it was the most perfect romantic weekend getaway and this has easily become one of my favorite hotels.

Really looked forward to our stay at this hotel. We have been saving for a while to afford the trip. For being so expensive this was a really bad hotel. Dark and humid room… Old furniture that I guess is supposed to be «charming» but really isn’t. Staff that has no clue… about anything… Nice and friendly but clueless. Went for breakfast, did not get a menu or any info regarding choices.
Had the buffet and it was nice and fresh.
At the pool area — the serving staff’s clothes were so dirty! Ok, they wear white but… Day 1 I thought it was just a bad clothes day but day 2 they were as dirty… Please help them wash!
The valet guys was great, friendly and fast!
The pool area is wonderful!

Nice atmosphere but the restaurant service needs to be better … They kept on forgetting our orders and we had to tell them over and over and even so some stuff we asked for didn’t even arrive. I ordered a Branzino and the fish was half ! I mean come on guys what kind of restaurant tries to make profit by serving a half fish!!!

Worst service ever. Ordered drinks. They forgot and came back 20 mins later. Ordered food. Half of the order came and they forgot to put in the rest. Waited 45 mins then told them to cancel order. Very bad experience.

I’m not entirely sure where to even start. The short version is, this hotel is absolutely beautiful, and the rooftop matches it. It is like a hidden fantasy where you can lose yourself in the greenery and lights.
(And for the long version)
I love it so much, that I choose this place to proposal to my girlfriend. And she couldn’t of been happier that I picked this location. The staff were immensely helpful! Especially Alex Roy and Devon. Alex had given me a tour, gave me some great ideas and made sure the room had rose petals with some other great stuff! Devon was in constant contact with me leading up to the last few days to go over any questions/​concerns, and being extremely helpful! Between these two, they helped me put this whole thing together and this place really became our anniversary spot. Nicole was also a huge help (she pretend to tell the photographer what to take photos of, so my girlfriend wouldn’t be suspicious of a photographer taking photos of us) along with the waiters and waitresses who helped made this evening perfect.
Again, I cannot say enough about this place. If you want somewhere to get away and feel like you’re in a whole different world, this is it. My fiancé and I still talk about this place, and we cannot wait till we book our anniversary stay here.

If I could give this place more stars, I would! (But if you knew me personally, this place totally fits my personality!)
This is a cute, intricately detailed, yet quaint 77 room hotel, that has talking points in almost every damn nook and cranny! If I were to describe it, this is what I’d say: it gives you the feeling of your favorite enchanting pop-​up book you LOVED to read as a child, mixed with the BEST scenes from PeeWee Herman’s Big Top Movie, and the luxuries of French and Bohemian tastes, feels and sounds! (Mouthful, I know!) But oh-​so grown!
You should book this place for the EXPERIENCE more than anything. My visit was very short, but I will be going back VERY soon.
(PS-​I tried the yoga on the rooftop on Wednesday AM: the teacher was rad, the vibe was barnone to ANY LA yoga class I’ve ever taken. Seriously AMAZING! Can’t wait to go back!)

Weho hotel in a random street, with interesting décor, and Lovely rooftop bar. Lots of great drinks, beautiful ambiance, and food is always on point. You must be a member or hotel guest to stay

WOW. What a perfect little hotel… with 80 rooms… right in the residential area of West Hollywood. I LOVE this place. We stayed for one night just to check it out. When i went to the rooftop, I couldn’t believe how charming the pool and lounge areas are. This is my kind of place of place. Kyle at the reception was very helpful and professional. First class service at this place.
Unless you check-​in to this hotel or have a private membership, you cannot go to the rooftop. I think that this exclusivity makes the place even more appealing to me.
I can hardly wait to stay there again.

Recently stayed at Petit Ermitage for the annual West Hollywood Costume parade. I had heard of the hotel but have never been there. The hotel staff was extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful. The location couldn’t be beat as we were walking distance to the action and could easily come back to the room to use the facilities and freshen up. Really quite convenient to anything you want to do in Los Angeles.
The rooms were decent. A bit pricy for what you get but hey this is West Hollywood and it was Halloween weekend. Bed was comfortable and the bathroom while small was adequate. The rooftop pool, lounge and bar had amazing views and were quite the oasis in the middle of the city.
Overall I would stay again if I needed to be close to Santa Monica Blvd. :)

A hidden gem in West Hollywood… I will never stay at another hotel in Los Angeles again. The Petit Ermitage was referred to me by a good friend who moved to LA from Chicago (thanks Eve!), as well as one of the directors at Soho House (LA’s Soho doesn’t have rooms). I travel there at least two times a year for work, and I typically stay at the SLS or the Roosevelt. I was looking for more of a boutique experience this time around, and I couldn’t be happier.
My room was warm and well-​appointed, not at all sterile like most hotel rooms. It was a junior suite, carpeted and spacious, and the water pressure is worthy of comment. The halls and lobby are filled with original paintings and other artistic endeavors; I am a big fan of the French painter, Erte, and his original works are seen throughout the hallways. A lot of time and care was spent decorating the halls — right down to the black-​light-​cartoony-​drawings in the stairwell.
The private roof deck was a highlight of my stay. Beautiful views, saltwater pool, excellent share plates and a friendly atmosphere. I had brunch in the garden restaurant adjacent to the pool and the food and service was beyond reproach.
But what makes this place stand out from the pack is the Petit Ermitage «family.» It felt like home. I made a lot of fast friends in just a few days, and it will be the reason I come back and recommend it to others. Alex and James at the front desk were welcoming and attentive (and keepers of the cookies). The ever-​stylish Renee is there to ensure the private rooftop remains exclusive; she’s such a good asset to their brand. Nikki, the Bar Manager, is as genuine as she was generous with her time and introductions. «Bang-​Bang» (that’s what people called her) had more energy and pizzaz than anyone I have ever met. She even hosted an absinthe-​induced shabbat ceremony on Friday night that brought together guests on the deck for a little ceremonial start to the weekend.
Thank you Eve for making a fan out of me and for treating me like a king at this one-​of-​a-​kind establishment!

My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon getaway. Even though we live in LA, we still felt like our stay at the PE was an escape from our everyday lives.
The place was very romantic and relaxed. As you’ll read in other reviews, the rooftop pool and cabana areas were the highlights of our stay. At night, we would go to the roof and lie on a cabana bed to relax.
I booked a Junior Suite, and we were very pleased with the room. My wife loved the details and design. I loved the amenities! See for yourself when you give this place a try. Also, the staff was very friendly and accommodating.
I hope to come here regularly for special occasions or anniversaries.

I cannot give this hotel enough stars!
Generally, when I go to LA with my husband, we stay at the Beverly Wilshire in Beverly Hills. I absolutely love this hotel but, since I was taking my cousin (who is 22) for a girls trip, I wanted something a little more hip. My satisfaction with the Beverly Wilshire made finding a different hotel very difficult, but after reading several reviews and looking at photos, I decided on the Petit Ermitage. I could not be happier with my choice and I have every intention of bringing my husband here on our next visit to LA.
The room was very large with a bedroom area, kitchenette, and sunken living area. The décor was very eclectic (I think this is the right word to use). I’m not sure how else to describe it but you can check it out in my pics. We both really loved it.
The rooftop pool was SO COOL! I felt like a celebrity could come join us at any moment, and my cousin went absolutely wild over it. We hung out here and has drinks during the day and then, at night, we came back after dinner. The pool is open 24 hours so you can go lounge there day or night. It was chilly at night so they provide these heavy blankets to use. I had a lot of fun chatting and hanging out here with my cousin, but I also feel this would be super romantic with a partner!
I do feel like it’s worth noting that this hotel is in West Hollywood. A lot of the bars near here cater to the LGBT community. I had no clue when I booked the room. We are both staunch supporters of this community so it made no difference to us. Actually, It was kind of cool. Several of the businesses had wrapped the trees in rainbow colored lights lining the streets. It looked really pretty.
We didn’t have an opportunity to eat in the rooftop restaurant, but it did look awesome! I hope I get to try it on my next visit because I will definitely be back to enjoy this place with the hubby!
