Guests can enjoy wellness experiences ranging from yoga and meditation to beachfront cycling, tennis, and spa treatments, or opt for local excursions to the area’s natural swimming pools, a manatee sanctuary, or scenic flights along the Costa dos Milagres in Alagoas.
  
• The Sun Rose West Hollywood (West Hollywood, California) – L.V.X Collection: Following a recent rebrand from the former Pendry West Hollywood, The Sun Rose West Hollywood is where glamour meets contemporary chic in an immersive combination of music, style, and city energy. Located on the legendary Sunset Strip and on the historic grounds of the former House of Blues, this 149-room hotel channels its iconic past into a bold, culture-driven experience, complete with a world-class music venue, rooftop dining, and skyline views. Sleek guestrooms and sprawling suites reflect the coastal tones of SoCal skies, while a rooftop pool and serene spa invite guests to unwind above the city buzz. From star-studded performances to sun-drenched afternoons by the pool, The Sun Rose offers a curated slice of Los Angeles.
