Every hotel here offers EV charging and holds either a third-party sustainability certification or a published sustainability report with specific, measurable results. Selection required documented evidence, not brand mission statements. EV charging may be on-property or at a verified third-party garage within walking distance.
How we selected these hotels
Each hotel on this list passed two checks.
- 1. Confirmed EV charging access, either chargers on the hotel's own property or at a named third-party garage within walking distance.
- 2. Verified sustainability credentials, meaning a named third-party certification from a body such as LEED, Green Key, or Energy Star, or a published sustainability report with specific numeric results tied to that property.
Brand-level programs counted only when the individual property had documented, measurable outcomes. Hotels with only vague green commitments or unverified claims did not make the list.

What to know before you charge
- Call ahead to reserve an EV charging spot, especially at downtown properties where parking fills early on weekday evenings.
- Level 2 chargers are standard at most hotel garages in Los Angeles; DC fast chargers are less common on-property.
- If you drive a Tesla, confirm adapter availability at the front desk before arrival.
- Valet staff at several of these hotels will plug in your vehicle on request, but you need to ask at check-in.
Hotels with EV charging in Los Angeles: what the certifications actually mean
LEED Gold certification from the US Green Building Council requires a building to score at least 60 points across categories including energy efficiency, water use, materials, and indoor air quality. The certification process involves third-party verification, so a LEED Gold hotel has had its performance audited, not self-reported. IHG Green Engage is a brand-level program, but properties that reach Level 4 have completed an independent audit and documented property-specific results. Marriott Serve 360 data is reported at the property level through Marriott's internal tracking system, and properties with published numeric reductions qualify here as Tier 2 because the numbers are specific and tied to a named address.

Frequently asked questions
Do all five hotels have EV chargers on the hotel property itself?＋
Yes. All five hotels on this list have EV charging confirmed on-property, either in a hotel-owned garage or a directly connected parking structure. None require you to walk to a separate third-party garage.
What is the difference between a Tier 1 and Tier 2 hotel on this list?＋
Tier 1 hotels hold a named third-party certification such as LEED Gold or IHG Green Engage Level 4, which requires an independent audit of actual performance data. Tier 2 hotels have published sustainability reports with specific numeric results, such as a documented percentage reduction in energy use, but do not currently hold a named third-party certification.
Which hotel on this list has the strongest sustainability credentials?＋
Conrad Los Angeles and 1 Hotel West Hollywood both hold LEED certification certification and have the most detailed published sustainability data. The Conrad LA opened in 2021 with LEED Gold from the US Green Building Council, and 1 Hotel West Hollywood publishes an annual impact report through SH Hotels that includes property-level waste diversion and sourcing metrics.
Are the EV chargers free to use at these hotels?＋
Charging fees vary by property and are set independently by each hotel. Some include charging as part of a parking fee, while others charge per kilowatt-hour or per session. Contact the hotel directly before arrival to confirm the current fee structure.
Do any of these hotels offer Tesla-specific charging?＋
None of the five hotels advertise dedicated Tesla Superchargers on-property. Most offer Level 2 J1772 chargers, which work with Teslas using the included adapter. Call the front desk before arrival to confirm adapter availability and charger type.
Are there other eco-friendly hotels in Los Angeles that did not make this list?＋
Several hotels in the broader Los Angeles area have sustainability programs but did not qualify here because they lack either confirmed EV charging or verified third-party credentials with specific numeric results. We have a separate page for eco-friendly luxury hotels in Los Angeles that covers properties with strong sustainability programs even where EV charging is not confirmed on-property.
