Villa Monarch

A flat-roof pavilion set low on over an acre in the Hollywood Hills — the kind of lot that almost doesn't exist anymore, private enough to forget the city is minutes away. The architecture reads as a single clean gesture: white planes, black steel frames, floor-to-ceiling glass that dissolves the line between inside and out. At dusk, the pool reflects the whole structure back to itself. That image tends to stay with people.

Inside, the open-plan living and kitchen occupy the heart of the home with a precision that rewards closer attention — matte charcoal cabinetry against a walnut-grain backsplash, a black marble island anchoring the space, white oak floors running the length of the house. The furnishings are considered rather than decorated: a curved boucle sofa, leather Chandigarh-style chairs, surfaces that earn their place. The theater adds a quieter gear for evenings that call for it.

The pool terrace extends the home as much as it serves it — in-water loungers, manicured lawn, palm canopy, and those steel-framed doors that fold back until the kitchen and the outside become the same room. For a small group that wants the Hills without the pageantry, this is the version of Los Angeles worth staying for.

This property is only available for monthly stays with a minimum of 31 nights. If you are interested in short-term stays, please contact our concierge for your luxury travel needs.
