The perfect blend of classic Hollywood glamour and modern sophistication through enchanting live jazz evenings and indulgent afternoon tea experiences? Welcome to The Godfrey Hotel Hollywood, where every moment captures the vibrant spirit of Los Angeles.
There is nowhere quite as captivating as Los Angeles, the glamorous city of angels, movie stars and golden sunshine. It is a place where you can channel your inner Cher Horowitz with a shopping spree along Rodeo Drive, or embrace your Californian dream girl energy, much like Miley Stewart, while soaking up the sun in Santa Monica. It truly offers the best of both worlds.
For those of us in the UK, where grey skies and rainy days are common even in summer, we are always searching for our next sunny escape. And when it comes to destinations filled with sunshine, palm trees and culture, Los Angeles is always near the top of the list. Already a dream destination in its own right, LA has just become even more exciting with the addition of The Godfrey Hotel Hollywood.
Ideally situated in the heart of Hollywood, The Godfrey offers a unique and unforgettable experience for travellers from around the world. It blends the timeless glamour of old Hollywood with bold, contemporary design. A carefully curated art programme and stylish interiors make every stay feel as special as stepping onto a red carpet.
The hotel features one of the largest and most talked-about rooftops in Los Angeles, a favourite among locals and visitors alike. It also offers four inviting bars and versatile event spaces, including one that has previously hosted a pre-Oscar celebration.
And to add even more sparkle to your next trip to the City of Angels, the hotel is within walking distance of some of LA’s most iconic attractions: from Sunset Boulevard to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. If you’re lucky, you might even catch a film premiere at the world-famous TCL Chinese Theatre.
What truly sets the hotel apart as the most exciting new destination in La La Land are its signature Jazz Nights and charming Afternoon Teas.
Every Saturday evening, About Last Knife, the Godfrey Hotel Hollywood’s signature ground floor restaurant, transforms into a haven of smooth sounds and sultry vibes. This all day SoCal inspired spot is renowned for its elevated menu focused on premium fish and meat dishes brought to life with California’s freshest seasonal produce. The space is effortlessly cool, with a retro chic design that honours Hollywood’s iconic past while feeling entirely modern and social. It’s the kind of place where the ambience flows as effortlessly as the wine.
During Jazz Night, About Last Knife exudes cinematic charm, capturing the spirit of LA with an vibrance that feels lifted straight from a moment between Mia and Sebastian. From 6:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., guests are invited to enjoy an intimate evening of live jazz performed by emerging local talent. The music is paired with a carefully curated selection of wines, tasting flights and seasonal dishes crafted with flair by Chef Olivier Rousselle, whose culinary expertise spans both local and international kitchens. Whether you come for the music, the flavours or the atmosphere, Jazz Night is the perfect way to spend a Saturday in Hollywood.
If you are also looking for something to spice up your afternoon, their Afternoon Tea has got you covered. After a morning at Venice Beach or a tour at Warner Bros Studios, you might find yourself craving a delicious and relaxing tea. From 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, the hotel offers an Afternoon Tea featuring an incredible selection of organic teas, coffee and seasonal treats. Sounds amazing, right? But there is more. During this luxurious afternoon you will also enjoy exquisite tea sandwiches, a collection of cheeses, chocolate dipped strawberries, brownies and cheesecake. To make the experience even more special, guests can choose to elevate it with bubbles or handcrafted cocktails.
LA is definitely sounding like the place to be right now. Are you ready to step into a world of jazz, cinema and culinary wonders? Book your stay at The Godfrey Hotel Hollywood and you’ll be flying home feeling like a movie star.
