Elan Hotel

I stayed there for 2 nights and also took advantage of the business facilities. An excellent hotel, with great staff. The room is smallish, but not as small as in some boutique hotels — not cramped at all. It’s also very clean and well laid out. I liked the quiet. I liked the continental breakfast. I liked the chocolate on my pillow.

Our trip was not for pleasure and this hotel was a great find that made our stressful situation much nicer than it would have been. Very nice staff with clean quiet rooms, especially for being on Beverly Blvd. We could walk to Cedars Sinai in five minutes.

My mom and I stayed here for three nights on our visit to LA. The hotel is in a great location — very safe and close to shops and eats. Not a far drive to Hollywood or Beverly Hills.
The room is small — reminded us of something from Europe. It was very clean and cozy. The bed was very firm and not comfortable. That is really my only complaint and preventing me from giving it 5 stars.
Staff is friendly and readily available to assist if needed. Parking is $ 25/​night but we were able to park on the side street at a meter (free from 8pm-​8am) and just had to get up to feed meter at 8. Saved $ 75!
Breakfast is general continental breakfast but good coffee. Didn’t make it to the complimentary cheese and wine reception. Definitely recommend and would stay again.

Nice and clean and fresh. Close to lots of shops and understated. We like it! Euro feel, only 49 rooms. Comp wine and cheese etc in evening and nice continental breakfast in the morning. The only gripe I have about the evening snack was that the crackers were Ritz and the salami had no flAvor. They should skip Ritz and either put out bread or some other cracker. A nice Dijon would’ve been a welcome addition. Costs $ 24 per day to park.

Stayed here for a weekend and truly enjoyed my stay at the Élan. It may seem small but it is rather cozy and convenient, located near the Beverly Center, the Grove, and Cedars Sinai. Checked in quickly and dropped off my car with the valet and soon enough I was in my room on the second floor, which was small but rather comfy and clean. The beds were very comfy and there were plenty of outlets and closet space. There was a work desk with a coffee maker, water heater and complimentary teas, coffee and candy! Nice touch.
The walls are a bit thin so you can hear the housekeeping staff sometimes outside your room vacuuming or cleaning, and the sounds of sirens were common as the hospital was just down the street. But other than that, I slept fine and was well rested.
The housekeeping staff was very sweet and respectful. They made sure to keep most of my stuff in place while cleaning my room while I was out.
Complimentary breakfast with waffles, cereal, fruit was a big plus! Also, wine and cheese in the evenings was also pretty sweet! The lobby was a great place to enjoy breakfast or wine and cheese.
If you’re in the area and need a place to stay, check this place out! Highly recommend.

Only stayed here one night, but it was a nice little hotel! We checked in early and checked out with ease. Our room was clean and very quiet. The staff was polite and accommodating. The free wine &cheese, chocolate pillow turn down service, and complimentary breakfast were icing on the cake. Definitely would recommend this for a quick stay!

Loved this place. We checked in before our room was ready (we were early) and the manager directed us to the cozy lobby to wait. Within minutes we were served an entire bottle of wine, a plate of meats and cheeses and some mixed nuts at no charge. The entire staff was friendly and accommodating. The room was a bit small but was extremely clean and the bed was super comfortable. There are a lot of restaurants within walking distance along with shopping and pretty much anything you might need. This was an oasis in the craziness that is Beverly Hills.

I stay at the Élan once a year for an event that I attend yearly. Very attentive staff and level of customer service is high. Rooms are very nicely kept up and the lobby is quite nice along with their daily morning continental breakfast.
The walls to the room are fairly thin, because you can certainly capture the neighbors chatter and movements.
This last time around, we checked in earlier than usual and the staff were very accommodating to allow us to do that, but they gave us the infamous room # 119, which if we were told that it abuts to their back office, we would have waited for another room or request one upstairs, very noisy but it’s their office area and of course they are going to be hustling and bustling out of there and I would not ask them to change their routine. As always, we relayed to the staff that all was great as usual, (except for room 119) but gave them an opportunity to work on, «if you are renting out room 119, you should let the guests know that it is right behind their office and allow them to determine if they want that room or not».

Une nuit à passer à Los Angeles avant de filer pour San Diego? Direction Élan Hotel !
Et en toute franchise, je né savais pas du tout à quoi m’attendre. Première frayeur, l’hôtel donne sur un grand boulevard. Deuxième frayeur, un voiturier hors de prix devant l’hôtel, seul moyen pour accéder au parking payant de l’hôtel. On choisit donc l’option «je me gare dans le voisinage» (attention aux PV de stationnement) et on file découvrir notre chambre.
Elle est grande, bien isolée (on entend à peine la circulation du boulevard). Le lit est très grand aussi et vraiment confortable. La salle de bain suit la tendance: grande et fonctionnelle (avec baignoire). Il y a même des peignoirs tout doux qui nous attendaient dans le placard. Bonheur ! Le prix? Dans les 150 $ la nuit en moyenne. Tout s’explique !
Petit +: un book remplie de bonnes adresses pour se faire livrer de bons petits plats directement dans sa chambre.
Bön à savoir: l’accueil est adorable et le personnel aux petits soins avec ses clients.

Stayed here for three nights on our honeymoon this past week and had a great time. The staff was friendly and welcoming right from the get-​go. We checked in quite early and all they had available was a room on the first floor. Before ever giving us the keys, the front desk offered to switch us to a different room the moment one became available. Since we didn’t anticipate spending a lot of time in the room anyway, we chose to stay in the first floor room the whole three days, and it was fine. The only drawback is that it was an interior room, and the only window was a sliding glass door that looked into a shared courtyard with four other rooms. We were not able to have our window open without the three other rooms being able to look directly into ours. However, this wasn’t really a big deal, as we stayed out and about all day, and they offered to switch us multiple times. When you book, though, definitely request an exterior-​facing room, as we noticed the balconies on the second floor would have had the same problem.
Other than that one small thing, the room was nice and clean and had a fridge, coffeemaker, iHome, and an electric kettle. The housekeepers were timely and left all of our things in place, even to the point of returning some of our clothes to the bed where we had haphazardly left them after making the bed underneath them. This impressed me a lot, as one of my pet peeves in hotels is when the housekeepers move my things around and I can’t find them. We only went to the free wine and cheese reception once, but it was fun, and the lobby and patio of the hotel are comfy and nice for lounging. Breakfast was a pretty standard continental breakfast, but it was good. Sometimes they had fresh-​baked zucchini bread and the like, which was a nice touch. Props for the valet parkers, too. They were very speedy and friendly.

What a comfortable staycation at Élan Hotel. There were so many amenities that the hotel didn’t skimp on, and it’s in a prime spot – easy to walk to shops and eateries. We checked in at 5pm on a Friday afternoon, just in time for a wine, salami, cheese, cracker, and dried fruits mixer! In the morning, there was continental breakfast with lots of options, boiled eggs, cereals and yogurts, pastries, toast and bagels, muffins, and fresh fruits.
We got a junior suite on the second floor, which had a king bed and a pull-​out bed sofa, a sky light, a balcony, a fridge, free wifi, and even chocolates left on the pillow. The room was spacious for a 4-​person stay. The room smelled a little old but it was still comfortable to stay.
Overnight valet was $ 24 a night – just have to wait a while cuz there aren’t people standing out all day and night.

My boyfriend and I stayed chose Élan Hotel based off of it being in a good location and the affordable price. We’re used to much larger, high rise resorts and hotels but Élan was actually an enjoyable stay.
Overnight valet parking was only about $ 25 and we were expecting it to be more expensive since it’s LA. The price did not skimp on the quality of service. Our wait time to call for the car was never long and staff was always friendly. We even misplaced our valet ticket one day but the staff was still accommodating.
Rooms are small but it’s clean and comfortable. Chocolates are left on your bed after housekeeping cleans your room and a personalized hand written card of the weather for the day. Those little touches are definite pluses. Only downside to the room is that they’re not entirely soundproof. There were times when we heard muffled conversations next door or the sound of a neighbor’s door open and close. For this reason, I’m knocking off a star.
Free breakfast daily was so convenient and definitely better than what we were expecting. There was variety of pastries, bagels, yogurts, and fruit — and hard boiled eggs if you’re still trying to eat clean while on vacation. ;)
Wine and cheese were also presented daily in the evening, which I enjoyed. The spread of cheese, dried fruit and meats were always something I looked forward to for a little snack.
Overall, I would definitely recommend Élan hotel.

Stayed here for two nights this past Fourth of July weekend. First off, I’d like to point out that the staff was super friendly from the time we checked in and all throughout our stay. The hotel is a little hard to spot from the outside, but has a nice homey feel right when you walk in.
Rooms are a bit small, but are extremely clean and comfortable overall. On the second day of our stay, we had accidentally made a pretty big crack on the glass that’s placed on the table in our room. We contacted guest services and they brought up Joel, the general manager, to take a look at it. I was so sure they were going to charge us, but figured it’d be best to inform them asap. To our surprise, Joel said he wouldn’t charge us and appreciated us for being honest!!! I was so pleased! He even made a joke and told me to make sure I don’t sit on the table next time (Note: I only weigh 85 lbs). So refreshing to see he even had a sense of humor, haha! When we came back later that day, the glass was replaced and the carpet was free of broken glass bits.
Valet was also very convenient and it didn’t take long for us to get our car. They also have complimentary breakfast and hold wine receptions, but we weren’t able to make it unfortunately. Great location as it is close to Ktown, DTLA, etc. Overall, I’m very happy with our stay and would definitely consider staying here again!

The people here are the BEST! The staff from top to bottom make you feel at home. Rooms are perfect! Because we it was our anniversary we got champagne sent to our room and free upgrade! Will definitely be staying again!

My husband and I stayed here for one night a couple weeks ago, chosen primarily because it was near the restaurant where we were dining later that evening. At first, we weren’t sure about the place as we were coming up on it from the backside. The back is not their strong suit — reminded me of a slightly rundown apartment complex. However, our fear subsided once we stepped inside.
This hotel is reasonably priced (for the area), very clean, with some nice complimentary amenities like breakfast in the morning and a cheese and wine bar in the evening. The rooms were modern and decorated nicely. Valet was very efficient, and retrieving our car for us took less than 5 minutes.
Since we weren’t staying long and already had plans for other things, we did not personally experience the breakfast or wine and cheese. But it’s definitely worth a mention, especially since it adds such good value to an already good hotel.
I would have no issues whatsoever in staying here again in the future or recommending it to others. We were both very, very happy with our visit.

Overall, a nice hotel. Loved the complimentary breakfast which was better than expected. Hard boiled eggs, cereal, oatmeal, bagels, pastries, coffee, juice, bananas, oranges, apples, etc! The wine and cheese in the evening was also a treat. The staff was super polite.
Valet parking was good and didn’t take long for us to get our car whenever we needed it. Would stay again!
Super close to the grove for shopping.

We stayed at the Élan Hotel recently for 4 nights on trip to LA. This was a great choice and the rooms are clean, spacious, reasonable and the hotel is in an excellent location. The staff was very helpful and courteous from check in to check out, and that was the entire staff, from the front desk to housekeeping.
When we arrived, we were given our room at 11:00 am even though check in was at 3:00 PM. The lobby is inviting with comfortable seating and also 3 computers and a printer for guests. Our room was a very good size with two comfortable beds. (There were 3 of us in the room) and flat screen TV, a nice size closet and also a free room safe that was big enough to store my MacBook. There was also a desk and and alarm/​charger for older iPhones and iPods. The room was very quiet and we did not notice noise from adjoining rooms or the hallways. The bathroom was quite large with good counter space. My only small complaint is it had an old style tub with a shower curtain. I prefer the newer shower only bathrooms with the glass doors. The bathroom did have great towels, robes, slippers and shampoos and lotions. There was a small fridge in our room also. There is free Wi-​Fi.
Breakfast is included at Élan and it is pretty decent. Bagels, Muffins, Danish, Cereals, Yogurt, Bananas, Coffee, Juice and toast. We usually took our breakfast on the small veranda outside. The inside tables can fill up fast. They also have wine and cheese from 5PM to 7PM with fruits, salami, cheese and nuts. They also have lemonade and water available.
There are a lot of places nearby to the Élan within easy walking distance. Macy’s/Bloomingdales and Cedar Sinai Hospital are just 4 blocks away. A StarLine Hop on Hop Off bus stops at Macys also. There are tons of restaurants and shops on 3^rd Street and also Beverly. There is a CVS and a Target that you can walk to also and the airport is only 30 – 45 minutes away.
The Élan has a flat $ 24.00 per 24 hours a day valet parking at their garage. There is plenty of on street parking that is metered for $ 1.00 per hour. It is however free from 8:00 PM to 8:00 AM. I used the meter parking quite a bit during our stay and left my car on Beverly overnight for free from 8PM to 8AM.
This is a great hotel in the West Hollywood/​Beverly Hills area. It lived up to the great reviews.

What a gem in West Hollywood! My sister and I enjoyed our stay here last month.
+Our room was ready at 11am! Even though check in is at 3pm. (And check out is at noon!)
+Free wine and cheese in their lobby every evening from 5−7pm! Unlimited!
+Complimentary breakfast every morning. Consists of yogurt, bagels, cereal, coffee, breads.
+Super customer service! Their bell boy helped us bring in all our stuff from our car. They poured our wine during the wine and cheese reception. They helped us with a smile everytime we went the front desk. Even the maid was happy to give us 3 extra towels when I only asked for 1.
+24 hr CVS and Taco Bell is right across the street
+Roomy, empty fridge in the room
–The only thing I didn’t like about this hotel was the thin walls! Everytime our neighbor flushed the toilet it was really loud in our room, and I could hear them talking and stomping around in their room pretty easily. Luckily they were rarely in their room to create a problem for us.
The hotel offers $ 25/​night valet parking in their underground garage. Or you can park on the street overnight if you trust your car on the street. During the day you can just keep putting money in the meters. Surrounding neighborhood only lets you park on their streets til 6pm.
I would definitely consider coming back to this hotel if we ever needed to stay in the Hollywood area again!

This place was fine, but not amazing.
All things considered, we weren’t there long. Checked in at 6pm Saturday (with a STASH point reservation), went out at 8:30pm, came back at 4am, knocked out until 10:30am, and checked out at noon.
We noticed that the bed was rather hard and we found it difficult to sleep comfortably, but that was the only issue we had. It was clean and not noisy, though we had a ground floor room and it was a bit small. The buffet was limited, but we had a brunch reservation so we at some bananas and a few mini pastries (chocolate muffins and raspberry things were fresh: p) before we headed out. The tea at brunch, however, tasted like coffee. they probably didn’t clean the container well enough and kept hot water in one of the big coffee heaters. So, you know, nothing special and nothing terrible.
