The Charlie Hotel

Beautiful and cozy will come again

This place always impresses me. I had friends and family stay here when I lived in LA and now that I live on the East Coast, it's my favorite place to stay when I come visit. It feels like your own charming apartment.

Luckily, I convinced them to keep our booking, but we had to go through additional security clearances like providing our IDs. The property also kind of felt like a maze when we arrived, since they basically gave us a map and instructions on how to access our room.

It was a true English cottage experience!

The Charlie is an absolute gem of a boutique hotel. It is an older property, but it has been beautifully renovated to offer a peaceful, hidden sanctuary complete with beautiful garden, private patios in a quieter area of town. The room itself is beautiful, has an exceptionally comfortable bed and large pillows, spacious comfortable separate living room, a great TV setup with tons of channels, and the massive bonus of a full stainless steel kitchen. If you are looking for an incredibly cute, character-filled getaway with great amenities and tranquil outdoor spaces, this place is a perfect choice. I’ll definitely be going back.

I reserved the Steve studio for a two night stay, The Charlie is absolutely charming, I chose it for the wonderful Chaplin connection, it’s style, kitchen facilities and it’s proximity to my meetings. It had its own pretty flower filled garden. The bed was very comfortable, the decor lovely, the kitchen small, perfect with a great cooker and fridge and the bathroom was clean and bright. The desk in the room was perfect for my work. The second night it was difficult to sleep, because of the people socialising above me with their windows open and footsteps are loud, there was a slight smell of damp in the wardrobe cupboard, which may have been from the washing machine in there. The staff were kind and attentive, the gardens are peaceful and gorgeous, I enjoyed the large sunny communal deck and I was kindly given a late checkout, which I really appreciated. I would very happily stay there again.

Location is the best and it’s very charming

The Charlie Hotel and our ‘Steve’ room in particular was a great place for us to base ourselves in West Hollywood. It had enough space and all the amenities that you would need. The bed was comfortable, and there was a full kitchen and washing machine and dryer. Staff that we encountered were very friendly and professional. The only negative was the frankly ridiculous rule that was stuck to the kitchen wall forbidding the cooking or microwaving of fish with the risk of a $250 fine from the hotel. As a couple who enjoys eating fish every day or two, this was very inconvenient. It seems, if odors are the issue, that spicy curries or food full of garlic would be more of a concern. I’m just glad we didn’t go to the supermarket before we checked into the room and saw the sign, otherwise we would’ve had a lot of fish going to waste! Never had this “fish policy” in any other place we’ve stayed in across the globe.

We had the most amazing...

Quiet, beautifully designed, quaint and luxurious.

Excellent, hidden gem.

Charming and spacious bungalow to celebrate my husband's 50th. Close to West Hollywood. Found a fantastic vegan restaurant and checked out the Woods. Highly recommend if you're looking for something unique.

Attentive staff, calming environment, and overall excellent location! Its uniqueness is definitely a staple to my experiences, but the kindness of all staff made it truly welcoming!

This is an oasis in West Hollywood, it's a gem. The location allows walking or is an easy drive to the museums, and countless dining choices. Wonderful property to relax outside with a glass of wine and is extremely quiet

It was a dream come true!!! Love it!!!

Such a unique hotel/bungalow experience in LA. Spacious, comfortable, clean, helpful staff, in a quiet section of West Hollywood. Loved everything.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Charlie. I slept better there than I have in any other location in Hollywood or Beverly Hills. We had sumptuous beds, thick towels and plenty of space! The atmosphere was peaceful and the detailing on the property was just exceptional. I felt like I was truly in Old Hollywood.
