Los Angeles is one of the most beautiful cities in the country for many different reasons. Of course the people are beautiful and the beaches are beautiful, but don’t forget about the beautiful skyline of downtown. Wherever you go it’s always a plus to have something pretty to look at while sipping a cocktail.
Sky Bar
8440 West Sunset Blvd.
West Hollywood, CA 90069
Sky Bar at the Mondrian Hotel is situated in the middle of everything. When they say location, location, location this is the place they were talking about. Sky Bar is located right there on Sunset Blvd. Whether it is the music or the people that draw you to the Sky Bar, it is the beautiful views of the city from the rooftop that will keep you there all night. The rooftop pool surrounded by cozy booths creates a perfect ambiance for looking down on the town while sipping on your favorite cocktail. The night couldn’t get any better!
Rooftop at The Kress
6608 Hollywood Blvd.
Hollywood, CA 90028
The Kress is a club I’d recommend to anyone coming to Los Angeles for their first time. It is all around fabulous! With its four stories of basement dance floor, restaurant, dance club, and rooftop lounge it has anything a person could be looking for on a night out in the city. On top of everything else The Kress has to offer, it is known for the spectacular views from its rooftop lounge. So grab a drink and head up to The Kress rooftop lounge, you won’t regret it!
WEST Lounge and Restaurant
170 N. Church Lane
Los Angeles, CA 90049
WEST Lounge and Restaurant is not your typical Hollywood club but it is known for some of the greatest views the city has to offer. The restaurant is on the top floor of the hotel so that everyone gets to enjoy the best views the hotel has to offer, not just particular customers. On a clear day the views stretch from South Bay all the way to Santa Monica, and at night you can see city lights for miles. But the views are not the only thing WEST Lounge and Restaurant is known for, the food is highly spoken of too so not only can you take in the city, you can get some good food while you’re at it.
Elevate Lounge
811 Wilshire Blvd.
Ste. 2100
Los Angeles, CA 90017
Located on the 21st floor, the view from Elevate Lounge is bound to be amazing. Being that this is a lounge that offers extreme views of the city, make it known not to wear sneakers, and a collared shirt is probably a necessity too. The beautiful people make the view on the dance floor a good one but the open windows from the dance floor make the view breath-taking.
The Highlands
6801 Hollywood Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90028
The Highlands is not a rooftop bar but it will still provide one with some of the most extravagant views of the Los Angeles area, being that it is right on Hollywood Boulevard. The outdoor patio is where you should sit if you’re looking for the city views. Highlands has a very diverse group of people so bring your crowd and make some new friends!
If you’re not one to take in the views of downtown Los Angeles very often, get out there and take a look at what you’re missing. You won’t be disappointed.
