The Sunset Strip is the name given to the mile and a half stretch of Sunset Boulevard that passes through West Hollywood. It extends from West Hollywood's eastern border with Hollywood at Crescent Heights Boulevard, to its western border with Beverly Hills at Doheny Drive. Homeowners that wish for privacy and yet accessibility to The Strip, choose to live just above Sunset Boulevard. Many have amazing views from the city to the ocean. John Lautner and Frank Lloyd Wright are just some of the astonishing architectural homes that can be seen.

The Strip is probably the best known portion of Sunset, embracing a premier collection of boutiques, restaurants, rock clubs, and shops that are on the cutting edge of the entertainment industry. It is also known for its trademark array of huge, colorful billboards and has developed a notoriety as a hang out for rock stars, movie stars and entertainers.

Glamour and glitz defined the Strip in the 1930s and the 1940s, as its renowned restaurants and clubs became a playground for the rich and famous.

West Hollywood's Sunset Strip continues to host to some of the nation's most influential clubs, including the Cat Club and the Viper Room. You can see A-list comedy almost any night of the week at the Laugh Factory. The entertainment industry elite still meet to eat at the venerable L'Orangerie and The Ivy as well as newer dining hotspots like Lucques and Dolce.

A community landmark is the Pacific Design Center, labeled by on local "the undisputed blue king of the West Hollywood skyline and the world of interior design." With 130 trendsetting showrooms displaying fabrics, flooring, and furniture, it's the largest design center on the West Coast.
