Practical tips for a night out
Dress codes and hours can change by night and event. Sunset enforces an upscale nightlife dress code; The Roof is listed as Smart Casual on some platforms while other listings say Casual. When in doubt, bring a neat jacket and closed-toe shoes for club entrances.

- Sunset accepts table reservations; large-group inquiries go to contact@sunsetatedition.com.
- Rideshare and local buses serve the area; the hotel address is 9040 W. Sunset Blvd., West Hollywood, CA 90069.
