Enjoy a fabulous night out on the Boulevard, starting with sipping on a boozy frozen drink at Beaches WeHo while dancing around in this two-story bar! Inspired by 1980s Miami disco culture, this LGBTQ+ focused hybrid restaurant and lounge transports you to your own beach paradise. When you’re ready for the next spot, dance the night away at The Abbey – a favourite of celebs, locals, and tourists alike! Grab a cocktail, order a dish (or several), and show off your best dance moves.

See A Star Under The Stars

An evening under the stars is the perfect way to end your getaway. For a “playfully sophisticated” setting with dreamy views of the city and tasty libations, the Boxwood Restaurant on the roof of the London West Hollywood at Beverly Hills is the place to go. You may as well stay for a few days and really soak it in.
