Otherwise the views are spectacular. Among its most notable amenities, the kitchen with high-end furniture, suite with marble bathroom and the combination of two apartments in a spacious area for two bedrooms and three bathrooms.

The Sierra Towers skyscraper dominates the intersection of Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, the Hollywood Hills and the western end of the Sunset Strip and has been an icon of the Los Angeles skyline since 1965. Designed by noted architect Jack A. Charney, the 31-story esrt building includes 24-hour security and counseling, outdoor community pool, gym and valet parking; perhaps that is why it has been one of the favorites for all kinds of celebrities for decades.
