Dusk Over Blue

Perched above the Bird Streets in West Hollywood, this apartment delivers something rare – a panoramic sweep from the Los Angeles skyline all the way to the Pacific, best enjoyed from the infinity hot tub on the sun-warmed terrace. Inside, a dramatic atrium pulls light deep into the living spaces, while the main suite faces the city with a fireplace glowing behind you. The Sunset Strip and Beverly Hills are just minutes away, but with views like these and an in-home treatment room, you may find it hard to leave.

Home truths:
* Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. You can park up to four cars here – two in the upper garage, one in the lower garage, and one on the driveway.
* The indoor fireplaces are not available to use – only the outdoor fireplace near the hot tub can be lit. The spa heater also needs to be switched on separately from the jets and booster pumps, so factor in a little warm-up time before you plan to use it.
* The gym equipment here is all manual and non-electric, so if you're expecting treadmills or electric resistance machines, you'll want to factor in a nearby gym membership or plan your workouts accordingly.
* There's an in-house lift here connecting all of the floors, so it may be suitable for those with reduced mobility.
