Suede Bar and Lounge, Los Angeles

In the land of ultra lounges, Suede Bar hangs with the best of them. The plush, red (you guessed it) suede seating and private areas combined with soft lighting and cool beats from a nightly DJ make for a sexy, romantic ambience for downtown professionals, loft dwellers and Hollywood go-getters. The lounge is located on the ground floor of the Westin Bonaventure Hotel and offers some distinctive features that separate it among others of its kind: fine cigars, small plates that double as food art and non-alcoholic beverages like water "fused" with fresh fruit flavors, perfect for sipping when sobering up.
