Stunning Stylish Zen Escape-Peace Privacy+Inspiration! Rated#1
The Unique Benefits at this House
Simply irresistible! That truly sums up this space. It has been home to amazing creative types and fabulous friendly guests who crave peace, privacy... and the unique. We offer absolutely superior service and value and understand how important your travels and time are, and we have never had one disappointed guest. Ever! Your expectations will be wildly exceeded, and when you're happy... so are we! ;-)
The world famous HOLLYWOOD BOWL, a landmark outdoor theater on the side of a mountain, is 1.5 miles away. This is a site for spectacular outdoor concerts and sometimes fireworks!
Sunset and Vine is the heart of Hollywood. State of the art theaters, restaurants of every sort, shopping, and the cool ambience of Hollywood / L.A. can all be enjoyed here. 5 minutes away from property, just down the hill.
TJ's is almost an institution. They have fresh, amazingly priced, healthy food of all sorts. Drinks (juices, water, wines) galore. You can stock up here on great food at great prices, and it is conveniently located only 5 minutes to the property.
There's a secret way to get to the sign... and yes, we'll tell you! ;-) The sign is within walking distance if you're up for a good hike... most of it is uphill!
A 4 minute drive or a 12 minute walk... the local cafes, restaurants and a huge grocery store with excellent food and fare... are just down the hill. Everything you need is close by.
Griffith Park is a huge and beautiful park where you can have your pick if what to do for fun in the sun (don't forget the sunscreen though!). Tennis, horseback riding, golf or just laying on the grass during the day. Then at night, you can watch the stars. Not the tv / movie kind. The kind up in the sky - at the Griffith Park Observatory, a feat of engineering and architecture!

Zen Heaven in the Hollywood Hils

We needed a location to shoot an infomercial that said to the viewer "Hollywood" right off the bat. I wanted a contemporary look. We could have gone to The Viceroy or the W Hotel, but boy am I happy we went to Bamboo Retreat! The place could not have been more appropriate. I had been emailing with the amazing Henry on and off because I had needed to stay in Los Angeles with my little dog - he remembers you every time, BTW. It had been months between correspondence and he remembered me - that is why when the Hydroderm people I was working with wanted a very LA look to sell their product to the UK, with palm trees and hills and sunshine, I said "You have to go to Bamboo!" Our shoot started VERY early, but Henry was there to open up and accommodate our every need - I think over the course of the morning we needed and he provided: a hair dryer, a fan - it got very hot that day - and even a pair of tweezers!! Nothing was too much trouble and he smiled and was as charming all the day long just as he is in his emails. Often, location shoots can be tedious and owners don't appreciate the potential inconvenience, but since many industry types stay at Bamboo, the way had been paved for us... The place has been designed throughout by Henry's business partner, Robert. It has a contemporary but zen feel to it and is just the sort of place to help you relax from the bustle of Hollywood which is only minutes drive away. You literally are in the shadow of the Hollywood Sign. If/when I ever stay there I would take the small studio which is a little separate from the main area and had it's own private patio. Gorgeous. Stay, stay, stay! You won't want to leave! Alexandra

i travel constantly on business, and checked out vrbo after dreading the thought of staying in another bland and boring chain hotel where all the rooms look the same no matter what city you're in. i was simply dying for something different so my business trip could actually be... enjoyable!!! well i found exactly what i was looking for right here. pictures don't do this amazing place justice -- the views are sweeping... the hollywood hills and downtown l.a. spread across the skyline from the windows and deck; the vibe is great -- soothing and inspiring; and the owners amazingly thoughtful and extremely professional. as soon as i arrived i immediately knew i found an amazing home away from home. every amenity i needed and more was here and the quality of the space, service and attention to detail was simply excellent. plus, the rate not only fit perfectly in my per diem, it was simply superior bang for the buck. this is amazing value and an amazing escape. wildly surpassed all of my expectations! i'm already scheduled to return.

My stay at Bamboo Retreat was most pleasant. The design is smart, the fit an finish accomplished, and the appointments without peer. In the future, if I need to travel to Los Angeles, Bamboo Retreat will be my first, second, and last choice.Take it from a professional traveler, road warrior, what have you. This is the piece de la resistance.

We had a perfect stay at Bamboo retreats. Nested in a quiet and beautiful part of LA, peace and harmony await you home after the hectic pace of shopping and partying LA-style...Henry is a perfect, totally charming, host and went out of his way to help us with our stay in LA. A much better option to stay in LA than any other hotels we have been to...

The only bad thing about our stay... was that it was too short!Truly a delightful property: great, secluded location (yet still only minutes from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood), fantastic attention to detail (best coffee ever!), friendly vibe (personal greetings... you betcha).It all added up to a fantastic getaway, and I look forward to staying again when next in LA.

Hotel Bamboo isn't a hotel - it's truly a home, and one of the most magical, special places in Los Angeles. My wife and I were married there and we - and all of our guests - agreed that we couldn't have picked a more beautiful place for our small ceremony. Henry and the Bamboo Crew are very cool, courteous and helpful. They're never more than a phone call away but very respectful of your privacy. Highly recommended!
