How to get to West Hollywood EDITION from LAX and other airports
From LAX: the fastest common option is a rideshare or taxi (about 19–25 minutes in light traffic) to 9040 W. Sunset Blvd.; the hotel offers valet-only parking and a guests-only rooftop pool. From other airports (Hollywood Burbank, Long Beach, John Wayne), use rideshare/taxi or a combination of shuttle + rideshare; public transit is possible but slower and usually requires at least one transfer.

From Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)
Rideshare services (Uber, Lyft) and metered taxis are the most direct options from LAX; typical trip times under light traffic are roughly 19–25 minutes, but LA traffic can make trips much longer during peak hours.
If you prefer a shuttle or private car service, these are widely available from LAX—confirm pick-up zones and estimated wait times before you land. The hotel’s policy on airport pick-up is inconsistent across listings, so contact the hotel directly if you want a pre-arranged transfer.
- Destination address to provide driver: 9040 W. Sunset Blvd., West Hollywood, CA 90069.
- Valet-only parking is available at the hotel (no self-parking).
- Confirm whether an airport pick-up service is available by calling BookResorts agents at +1 (888) 605-1350 or the hotel reservations contact.
| Option | Typical time (light traffic) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Rideshare / Taxi | 19–25 min | Direct, drop at hotel entrance; surge pricing possible |
| Shuttle / Private car | 25–45+ min | Pre-book recommended; confirm meeting point |
| Public transit + walk | 60–90+ min | Cheapest but requires transfers; not ideal with lots of luggage |
From Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) and smaller regional airports
Hollywood Burbank (BUR) sits roughly 13–14 miles from West Hollywood; rideshare or taxi is the simplest option and typically quicker than public transit. John Wayne (SNA) and Long Beach (LGB) are farther; rideshare or a pre-booked car service is usually the most convenient.
If you’re on a budget, regional airports connect to Metrolink or municipal buses that meet Metro rail lines; expect at least one transfer into West Hollywood and longer travel time than a direct car.
- From BUR: rideshare/taxi is usually 25–45 minutes depending on traffic.
- From SNA or LGB: plan for 45–90+ minutes by car depending on time of day.
- For public transit: check schedules for Metrolink or municipal buses connecting to Metro rail; you will likely transfer to a bus along Sunset or Santa Monica Blvd.
| Airport | Typical car time | Recommended option |
|---|---|---|
| Hollywood Burbank (BUR) | 25–45 min | Rideshare / Taxi |
| John Wayne (SNA) | 45–90+ min | Rideshare / Private car |
| Long Beach (LGB) | 45–90+ min | Rideshare / Private car |
Public transit and local buses to West Hollywood EDITION
West Hollywood is served by multiple Metro bus lines; bus 2/302 runs along Sunset Blvd and bus 4/704 runs along Santa Monica Blvd. Cityline and The PickUp offer free local connections, and the Metro B (Red) Line connects via Hollywood stations.
Public transit is the most economical choice but expect transfers and longer journey times from airports. If you arrive by rail to Hollywood, take a local bus or rideshare for the final short leg to 9040 W. Sunset Blvd.
- Useful lines near the hotel: Metro Bus 2/302 (Sunset Blvd) and 4/704 (Santa Monica Blvd).
- Cityline is a local WeHo shuttle; The PickUp runs weekends and connects to Hollywood/Highland Metro Red Line.
- Metro fares are $1.75 per ride with fare capping (check current Metro rules before travel).
| From | Typical route | Approx. convenience |
|---|---|---|
| LAX | FlyAway bus to Union Station + Metro Red Line + local bus | Low cost, many transfers |
| Hollywood/Highland (Red Line) | Local bus or short rideshare | Convenient for final leg |
| Downtown LA rail | Metro Red Line to Hollywood + local bus | Reasonable but allows luggage transfers |
Rideshare, taxi and driving tips

Final mile: exploring the Sunset Strip and nearby destinations
West Hollywood EDITION is on the Sunset Strip, within easy walking distance of nightlife and music venues such as Whisky a Go Go and The Roxy. If you’re heading to Beverly Hills shopping or museums, rideshare or a short drive is typically faster than bus connections.

- Walking: Whisky a Go Go is a few minutes’ walk; Melrose Avenue is about 15 minutes on foot.
- Short drives: Beverly Center and Cedars-Sinai are roughly a 5-minute drive.
- If you plan to use the rooftop pool or The Roof, pool hours vary (roughly late morning to sunset) and The Roof serves breakfast and later dining—check current hours before you go.
