A short walking distance (yes people do walk occasionally at their own peril in L.A.) from the Hollywood sign, Mann Chinese Theater and Griffith Park, the Hollywood Pensione is a green boutique lodge housed in a 1915 Craftsman dwelling.
Can Hollywood glamor be paired with good eco ethics? Naturally. They go together like J-Lo and Brad Pitt. Can’t you see that duo cast in a romantic feature? Perhaps Marc and Angelina can visit the set. But if they want to stay here they better book soon. This hotel only has three guest rooms, all with modern green amenities.
Listed in the top 10 of the best L.A. Inns and B&B’s by Resorts and Lodges, each guest room comes with a private bath, a common lounge with a balcony, and a fully-equipped guest kitchen.
Check in and take a nap on the comfy organic mattresses with fluffy wool toppers and fine organic bedding by Anna Sova. The hotel also offers spa-like bath luxuries with state of the art in-room technology like a flat screen TV and cable – so you can watch your favorite HBO and Showtime shows instead of chasing down stars in Beverly Hills.
The hotel boasts air and water purification throughout (a must in smoggy LaLa town) as well as complimentary organic wine, dark chocolate truffles, organic bamboo towels and Zen alarm clocks. You bring the vibe, they provide the rest!
Rates are $165 to $495 depending upon which room you select and when you are staying. Don’t forget to make reservations at the local organic cafes. For a list of some of them, check out L.A. City Search.
