Airport Commuter Black SUV chauffeur for the 1929 Art Deco Sunset Strip landmark by architect Leland Bryant (opened 1931) — an intimate 81-room hotel with the legendary Tower Bar, a pool, and panoramic city views, in a building whose residents ranged from Howard Hughes to Marilyn Monroe — deepening AC's Hollywood / Sunset Strip cluster with its Old-Hollywood anchor.
Sunset Tower Hotel is the 1929 Art Deco landmark on the Sunset Strip — designed by architect Leland A. Bryant and opened in 1931, considered one of the finest examples of Art Deco architecture in Los Angeles. Originally luxury apartments, it counted among its residents Howard Hughes, John Wayne, Marilyn Monroe, Errol Flynn, Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Sinatra, and the gangster Bugsy Siegel. Today it is an intimate 81-room hotel with floor-to-ceiling windows and panoramic city views, a Penthouse Suite with a wraparound terrace, a pool, and the legendary Tower Bar — a walnut-paneled modern brasserie and Old-Hollywood power-dining rendezvous set in what was once part of Bugsy Siegel's apartment, with a jazz pianist and fireplace. Sunset Tower deepens AC's Hollywood cluster on the Sunset Strip with its Old-Hollywood anchor.

Sunset Tower Hotel is the 1929 Art Deco landmark on the Sunset Strip - designed by architect Leland A. Bryant and opened in 1931, considered one of the finest examples of Art Deco architecture in Los Angeles. Originally luxury apartments, it counted Howard Hughes, John Wayne, Marilyn Monroe, Errol Flynn, Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Sinatra, and the gangster Bugsy Siegel among its residents, and today is an intimate 81-room hotel with the legendary Tower Bar, a pool, and panoramic city views. It deepens AC's Hollywood cluster on the Sunset Strip alongside the Chateau Marmont, the Sunset Marquis, and Pendry West Hollywood, minutes from Beverly Hills. As the Old-Hollywood Art Deco anchor, it complements AC's contemporary Strip hotels, and AC chauffeurs guests from the airport to the Strip and across Los Angeles with a Black SUV on call - the natural pairing for a Tower Bar dinner.
The intimate 81 rooms and suites have floor-to-ceiling windows and panoramic views over Los Angeles, and the Penthouse Suite has a wraparound terrace - the Art Deco bones and the views are the draw. The heart of the hotel is the Tower Bar, a walnut-paneled modern brasserie and Old-Hollywood power-dining rendezvous set in what was once part of Bugsy Siegel's apartment, with a jazz pianist, a fireplace, craft cocktails, and poolside seating; it remains one of the industry's enduring see-and-be-seen rooms. A pool deck with city views and a spa and fitness offering round out the hotel. It is the design-and-history anchor of AC's Sunset Strip hotels, and AC provides discreet arrivals, departures, and on-call chauffeur service for the Strip, Beverly Hills, Tower Bar dinners, premieres, and awards season.
Sunset Tower sits on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, the mile-and-a-half of music, dining, and nightlife. The Comedy Store, Whisky a Go Go, the Roxy, and Sunset Plaza's shops and cafes are within walking distance, and the Chateau Marmont and Pendry West Hollywood are just along the boulevard. Beverly Hills - Rodeo Drive, the Beverly Hills Hotel, and the Peninsula - is minutes west, while Hollywood proper (the Walk of Fame, the Dolby Theatre, Capitol Records) is minutes east. The Pacific Design Center, Melrose Avenue shopping, and Runyon Canyon are all close. AC's sibling Hollywood and Beverly Hills anchors are minutes away, and AC builds a Los Angeles chauffeur program for dining, premieres, label and studio meetings, and awards season.
LAX is the primary airport, about 35-50 minutes south depending on traffic, and Hollywood Burbank (BUR) is often the savvier choice at about 25-35 minutes with an easier arrival over the hill. Van Nuys and Santa Monica are the private-aviation options. From SF Bay, an SFO-LAX or SFO-BUR nonstop plus the chauffeur is the routing, with frequent flights all day. Sunset Tower pairs with AC's Chateau Marmont, Sunset Marquis, Pendry West Hollywood, and the Beverly Hills hotels for a Los Angeles tour, and AC positions vehicles for the Sunset Strip, Beverly Hills, Tower Bar dinners, premieres, and awards-season movement, where having a chauffeur on call beats parking and rideshare on the Strip.
