A photo/video review and tour of the 160 room Luxe Sunset Blvd Hotel located in Brentwood, Los Angeles California. It offers comfortable and spacious non-smoking rooms at very reasonable prices for the neighborhood.

Since the Luxe Sunset is located just next to the 405 Freeway, at the Sunset Blvd exit, I was plesantly suprised to see / hear that the outdoor spaces are so quiet. Located in Brentwood it makes a great property for travelers looking to visit the Hollywood & Santa Monica areas of LA.  Located nearby is the famous Getty Museum on a hillside overlooking the Luxe.
