Farmer's Daughter Hotel

Why We Like It

Quirky in all the best ways, the Farmers Daughter was designed to be fun and flirty and succeeds on all levels. The bar and restaurant are incredibly communal and the rooms are unique in style and substance. There’s no gym or spa, but you have plenty of options in the neighborhood if you need your fix. Centrally located, you won’t need a car and will find yourself wanting more days to try the incredible restaurants all within walking distance.

Fodor's Expert Review

Fun, flirty, and downright funky, the Farmer’s Daughter is by no means your typical LA hotel. Here, 20 and 30-something creative types mix and mingle among the elaborate art pieces, scrumptious restaurant, and an Instagrammable pool. The hotel encourages community and offers its guests loads of lounge space and decorative design to bring about an enriching LA stay.

Room

Ask to see more than one room (if available), as each combine playful art touches with innovative amenities. Rooms are designed to encourage socializing with ample sitting spaces among the modern concrete floors. Check out the unique art boxes and Pendleton blankets, and sip on coffee with friends with in-room Nespresso machines.

The lobby is filled with kitschy touches, a quirky gift shop, and gray leather banquettes for lounging. Rustic wood accents adorn the walls and playful parakeets are also there to welcome you to your stay.

Tip There’s a whiskey hour every day in the lobby at 5 p.m.

Pool

A living wall braces the back of the pool and giant rubber duckies are cute appointments for the kid at heart. There’s also a ping-pong table in the back.
