About Hotel Ziggy
Hotel Ziggy is a boutique hotel and music venue located at 8462 Sunset Blvd in West
Hollywood, California. It features a lobby bar with vinyl albums, an ’80s-themed media room,
psychedelic murals, and rooms with decoupage walls that have musical references.
The energy is new, but the spirit is not at Hotel Ziggy, where a celebration of the Sunset Strip’s
rebellion and ingenuity that defined the music industry beats on. It’s LA’s newest music venue,
pizza shop, and West Hollywood’s only boutique hotel with a saltwater pool. It’s where legends
were made, groupies once played, and today’s creative renegades can gather. More of an
immersive experience than a hotel, Hotel Ziggy’s lobby doubles as a live music venue where
weekly events and live performances draw in music lovers, artists and guests alike.
Accommodations range from sophisticated, fully-renovated suites to spirited, poolside guest
rooms that act as VIP cabanas while DJ sets and live music pair with pizza, pints, and good
vibes at Ziggy’s central pool scene and buzzing restaurant, B-Side Pizza. Collaboration and
creativity thrives in Ziggy’s two meeting rooms, and The Shred Shed is there with instruments,
record players, and more for daily use whenever inspiration strikes.
