The 5 most eco-friendly hotels in Los Angeles

A welcome alternative to the traditional hotel, here you will feel like a La La Land starlet in one of the cozy bungalows or villas. Each charming, bright room features a kitchen, bath, and plenty of space for family and friends. Stay a night or a month.

This boutique hotel is enclosed by beautiful wood and glass – with clear ocean views even from the shower. The Shore Hotel is LEED Gold Certified, and a leader in offering luxury without waste – from the solar-heated pool, to the sustainable wood furniture to their partnership with Clean the World Foundation.

This Mediterranean-inspired escape – the only luxury eco-resort in the LA area – is situated on a 102-acre peninsula surrounded by the Pacific. The well-appointed bungalows, casitas, and villas are nestled between four pools, eight restaurants, spa facilities, and a golf course.

Made with 75 tons of wood from fallen trees and operating with LEED Silver certification, this hotel chain has a commitment to sustainability down to the details (the hangers are made of recycled materials). It’s also a great location with a lot of green (plants!) as well as sweeping views and a rooftop restaurant.

This massive, luxury landmark has more than 1300 rooms – it’s a true city within the city. As LA’s first hotel to reach the environmental standards set by Green Seal, it’s also lux with a conscious. Plus, you can take the True Lies elevator to the revolving bar on the top floor for a 360-degree view.
