The Sunset Strip is a haven for excellent food, best-in-the-city cultural experiences and a whole lot of fun. You can find it all along the Boulevard or make it easy with one pit stop. At Pendry West Hollywood, Angelenos can partake in a packed itinierary of the best of what Los Angeles has to offer all in one place. Read on for how to spend a day at Pendry West Hollywood.
A perfect Los Angeles day is not complete without a rooftop visit. Checkmark it off your list by heading to the Bar at Merois for an early lunch. Nestled in cozy lounge seating, you breathe in sweeping city views and poolside tranquility between bites of Wolfgang Puck’s exquisite fusion fare, which blends the best of Japanese, Southeast Asian, French and California cuisine. For a hearty meal, go for the charcoal-grilled burger or Chinois chicken salad, but we recommend going smorgasbord-style and trying a number of dishes. Hit the high points of the menu with the Kung Pao Cauliflower, lobster spring roll and Blue Fin tuna crispy rice. Additionally, certify your vacation-like day with a handicraft cocktail. The Island in the Sun (vodka, guava, Thai basil, lemongrass, Bergamot aperitif) is a luxury adventure in a glass, while Pepino’s Revenge (tequila, Japanese cucumber, Thai basil, lime) is a libation delight.
With a satisfied appetite, it’s best to next appease the body head to toe. Spa Pendry promises to do that through its calming space, curated signature treatment menu and modern skincare technology. Developed in partnership with skincare brands Babor Cleanformance and Priori, no matter which treatment you choose, you are sure to walk out with restored, revived and pampered. Consider the Clarity Body Wrap for a full-body experience. The 90-minute treatment coalesces herbaceous aromatherapy and a clay body wrap with a scalp massage and soufflé cream-enhanced restorative massage. Finish your spa appointment with a visit to the herbal steam room and relaxation area, and then enjoy a shower to prepare for the rest of the evening.
One of the most outstanding features of Pendry West Hollywood is its sophisticated interior design that still manages to have a whole lot of fun. Alongside chic lighting and velvet seating, the space pops with statement color walls, a checkerboard floor and art installations. You can experience the best of this with a drink at Bar Pendry. The lobby-level concept is an homage to the classic hotel bar and serves cocktails, fine wines and beer and bites by Wolfgang Puck. Surrounded by an intimate, stylish ambiance, you’ll delight in sipping a classic Vesper Martini or vibrant Pomegranate Fizz.
Throughout the day, you’ve had a taste of Wolfgang Puck’s culinary prowess. Now it’s time to go all in. At Merois, globally inspired cuisine reaches new heights at the posh top-floor restaurant. The menu dances from Japanese to French, Southeast Asian and Californian dishes with options like a hamachi tostada, Binchotan-grilled meats, crab fried rice, Peking duck, wok-seared broccolini and a whole section for dim sum. Paired with your beverage of choice, you’re in for an adventure of flavors.
