On seven landscaped acres near the Getty Center, the Luxe feels like a secluded country club – but it's also next to the I-405, so you can peel onto the open the road. Guest rooms have a comfortable residential look, with a taupe-and-brown color scheme, feather duvets, flat-screen TVs, iPod base stations on bedside tables. Book lessons with the hotel's tennis pro or head for the spa, which offers 16 kinds of massage. The Café Bel-Air is a neighborhood favorite for lunch on the sunny patio.
