Now, Anyone Can Go to London for Dinner on the Roof
What we previously loved about the The London West Hollywood is that it's picturesque rooftop pool was off-limits to non-guests, ensuring utmost privacy. However, that's also a bummer for us since we're locals and we'd like to enjoy the view from above without having to pay for a room (On the flip side, rates are rather decent at $279 a night.)
Then came word that non-guests were allowed on the roof on Wednesday nights to sip some bubbly. And we non-guests must be behaving ourselves because now the hotel is letting non-guests up on the 10th floor roofdeck for lunch and dinner, everyday.
The newly designed open-air dining area features umbrella-topped café tables nestled on grass turf with orange trees and white roses aligning the space. The setting maintains the feel of a traditional English garden while incorporating a distinct California flair, with views from downtown Los Angeles all the way to the Getty Center and beyond.
(Yes, provided the smog is cooperating that day.)
Guests can dine off a specialty menu designed by Gordon Ramsay and executed by Executive Chef Anthony Keene that includes light fare at lunch like gourmet salads, sandwiches and even sushi rolls. Prices are not as light ranging from $12 for a panini to $18 for a hummus and pita starter and $20 for a cheeseburger.
The dinner menu, served from 4:30pm to 10:30pm, offers prosciutto and ricotta pizzette ($13), marinated black cod sake-miso ($18) and King crab rolls ($16.) Don't forget the specialty cocktails ($16) and desserts ($6-$10) too!
Of course, hotel guests still get priority here and outsiders must make reservations beforehand. (Call 310-358-7788 to do so.)
Just remember, rooftops in LA are not as hot as rooftops in NYC during the summer. Things do get a little chilly when the sun goes down here so make sure to bring an extra layer.
