Last updated October 3, 2026

A slice of retro LA charm, Beverly Laurel Motor Hotel is a no-frills, old-school motel that feels straight out of a classic Hollywood film. Located in the heart of West Hollywood, this vintage roadside lodge has been welcoming travellers for decades, offering a unique stay with a nostalgic touch.

Unlike polished boutique hotels, this spot embraces its mid-century motor inn roots, with simple yet comfortable rooms, neon signage, and a relaxed, unpretentious vibe. Rooms are spacious and outfitted with vintage touches, while the palm-lined pool area adds to the throwback LA aesthetic.

One of the biggest draws? The iconic Swingers Diner is right next door, serving up all-day breakfast, late-night eats, and classic milkshakes in a setting that’s pure retro cool. Whether you’re in town for an old-school Hollywood experience or just looking for a centrally located stay with character, Beverly Laurel Motor Hotel delivers.
