Priced on the same night, 2026-10-10: JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE is $639 a night less. They are 11.7 km apart.

Book the Four Seasons Beverly Hills if budget allows: it rates higher (9.2 vs 8.9), takes pets, and sits in the residential calm of Beverly Hills for $1,014 a night. The JW Marriott at L.A. LIVE is the sound business choice at $483, four stars, nearly 800 reviews backing it up, and a livelier downtown setting near Staples Center and the convention centre. They're 11.7km apart, effectively different cities within LA, so the decision is really about which side of town you want to wake up in.
This is a low-slung, quietly grand building a block off Wilshire, the kind of Four Seasons that trades on restraint rather than spectacle. Rooms open through French doors onto private balconies, a detail that still feels like a small luxury in a city built around cars and driveways. The pool terrace is ringed by palms and umbrellas in the classic Beverly Hills manner, and the whole place runs on that particular Four Seasons hush: marble corridors, low lighting, staff who materialise and vanish. It draws an older, moneyed, discreet crowd who came for the spa and the quiet, not the skyline.
Couples and travellers who want Beverly Hills calm, spa time, and privacy, and don't mind paying for it.
The JW Marriott is a glass tower stitched into the L.A. LIVE entertainment complex, so the energy outside is loud, neon, and built for crowds heading to Staples Center or the Grammy Museum. Inside it's contemporary business-hotel gloss: big lobbies, four restaurants, a rooftop pool with genuine downtown views, and rooms kitted with flat-screens and iPod docks that read a little dated now but still functional. It's a hotel built for volume and convenience rather than atmosphere, and it does that job well judging by the review count.
Business travellers, conference-goers, and anyone attending an event at L.A. LIVE who wants scale and city buzz over hush.
The JW Marriott loses nothing on the facility list but gives up the address itself: pet-friendliness at the Four Seasons, and the quieter, greener Beverly Hills setting versus a downtown tower surrounded by arenas and traffic.
The Four Seasons is the more beautiful place to actually sit still in, with its balconies and pool terrace working at a human scale that the L.A. LIVE tower, built for foot traffic and event nights, was never designed for.

“Zeker ‘s avonds veel zwervers / druggebruikers op straat direct vanaf het hotel”
Four Seasons guests come away happier, praising the pool, service, and rooms in detail, while JW Marriott reviews are sparser and note safety concerns near the hotel at night.
“Amazing 3 night stay!”
Had the most incredible 3 night stay!! Booked balcony deluxe room and had requested to face back of hotel/high floor since we are light sleepers. Sam in in-house reservations was amazing and our room on 15th floor was the most quiet room ever!! Everyone at hotel super friendly and everything very clean, beautiful decor. We especially loved The Penalty box to watch Cup games. Breakfast and room service also great. Co
“Four Seasons…always a good Choice”
The Four Seasons Hotel on Doheny Drive is a truly wonderful hotel from which to explore beautiful Beverly Hills. The hotel is very well-maintained, the reception staff was friendly, and our Hollywood Suite was spacious and cozy. Since we were staying on the ninth floor, we were able to make wonderful use of the two balconies. On the fourth floor is the pool area, which is spacious for an LA city hotel. A pretty poo
“Old timey Luxury, soon should get a little facelift.”
Long (10 day) business stay at the Four Seasons. Atmosphere: luxurious, yet understated. Harkens back to the early 2000 and one can easily understand why many celebrities opt to stay here, away from prying eyes. The lobby could use a bit of a refresher. Service: top notch, especially Tom the bellman and housekeeping. Check in desk was courteous but nothing extraordinary. Location: decent, but action is at least a 20
