This was our second stay with Kimpton, and I must admit they managed to provide an even better experience than our first stay in Washington, DC. It’s not easy to find a pet friendly hotel that can also provide a luxury stay for humans, but Kimpton manages to pull it off nicely while making your fur-babies feel like they’re the guests of honor! Kimpton makes the choice easy when looking for a pet friendly hotel in Los Angeles.

There’s no doubt in any travelers mind that one of the best ways to try out a new culture is to sample their food.
