Valentine's Day spots in West Hollywood

From the classic to the irreverent, West Hollywood's restaurants and hotels are embracing the spirit of Valentine's Day with events and packages. Romantic repasts abound at some of L.A.'s hottest restaurants, including RH at the Andaz West Hollywood hotel. And those seeking something saucier might enjoy Zombie Prom at The Roxy Theatre.

Only in West Hollywood - located in the torrid heart of greater Los Angeles - will you find the notorious Sunset Strip, eclectic Santa Monica Boulevard (home of Southern California's premier gay scene), and The Avenues - the chic art and design district.
