Q. What happens when the country's most stylish hotel group meets L.A., taste-maker to the world?

A. The Palomar!

Once again, Kimpton has expanded its modish reach, and we're following along. This time, you'll be in the heart of West L.A., Westwood village to be exact. It gets better: the 268-room Palomar is basically on the grounds of the beautiful UCLA campus (think red tile roofs, flowing fountains, manicured lawns, flowers, trees, basketball…).

And while boutique-y in flavor, this hotel offers much more than great upholstery, fancy soaps and big TVs. It has 5,000 sq. ft. of state-of-the-art meeting/reception space, an outdoor pool and 24-hour fitness and business centers.

It also has Blvd 16, California dining at its best (casual and fine!)—ideal for meetings or a needed break from meetings.

All this offered to Academic Ambassadors at our usual just-about-impossible-to-beat discount of BAR (Best Available Rate) minus 10%.
