Beautiful new hotel with great views, pool and a Jose Andres restaurant. Right across the street from the Broad and Disney Concert Hall

Super clean fairly large rooms, floor-to-ceiling windows, great location in the center of LES and also close to the subway. No elevator backup traffic. Not precious enough to be boutique but perhaps the only midrange hotel in Manhattan that doesn't seem grody.

The Proper is beautiful, has a sweet view on the roof + a good lobby for working w/ free counter culture coffee in the morning. but..the street it’s on has a pretty extensive encampment going on so you wanna uber in at night. Nikko is fancy and has an indoor pool but felt almost too fancy, like I couldn’t talk in the elevator.

When I’m in California, I have a rule: I don’t leave Bel Air, Beverly Hills or West Hollywood. To my friends in Silver Lake, I just can’t do it. Due to my self destructive nature, I’m automatically a Chateau Marmont guy at heart but I feel like when I’m at the Hotel Bel-Air, i’m the closer to the person I was born to be. I’ve never felt more peace than salt water swimming, ordering 50$ chicken tenders at 2am, mindfulness breathing in my hot tub on my suite’s patio. The beautiful swans in the garden at the entrance. I don’t feel safe, and struggle with emotional dysregulation if I’m not at a 5 star hotel.
