Take A Load Off

W Hotel Hollywood
For those of you looking for a little R&R on your big day, the rooftop pool at the W Hotel Hollywood is the perfect escape from our fast-paced metropolis. Take a refreshing dip or lounge in the bungalows as cabana boys wait on your every whim and need.
W Hotel Hollywood, 6250 Hollywood Boulevard (at Vine Street); 323-798-1300.

The Avalon
Perhaps what you wanted most this birthday was a vacation, but you just couldn't find the time to take one. Luckily, the Avalon is all you need to leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind and retreat into a Kelly Wearstler-designed den of sheer elegance. If you're not down for a full-on staycation, kick back and unwind in the poolside cabanas, or even just have an intimate bite with pals at Oliverio.
The Avalon, 9400 West Olympic Boulevard (near South Beverly Drive); 310-277-5221.

Scarlet Tea Room
