"Guest rooms are pretty minimalist in decor, but comfortable; half have views of the Strip (with blackout shades to deal with the flashing lights at night)." Full review

"It's no longer as hip or famous as its West Hollywood neighbors (the Chateau, Sunset Tower, and Mondrian), and the service can be spotty." Full review
Time Out
"It's the perfect perch from which to sip on grown-up cocktails and gaze at the next generation of rockers partying on the Strip." Full review
Star Service
"Don't let the sassy boutique feel fool you: This is a deluxe-leaning offering with service that steps a little higher than what you'll find at the more colorful Mondrian.

"Massive in size and raucous in reputation, this former Hyatt offers a sizzling hotel experience to touring rock bands, celebrities and tourists alike."
BlackBook
"The glory days of the Riot Hyatt long gone, but nothing can take away location cachet. Still technically a Hyatt, but going under boutiquey Andaz label."

"The former "Riot Hyatt" – "legendary" for all the musicians who "trashed the rooms" here – this "modern", "swanky" Sunset Strip star with a "killer rooftop pool"."

Afar Magazine

DK Eyewitness
"An island of old-world sophistication in the fastpaced Financial District, this 1929 hotel is great for conducting business in style."
Rough Guide
"One of the great LA hotels, with modern furnishings in historic 1920s architecture, and attractive rooms, gym, rooftop deck with pool and spa, and swanky Checkers restaurant."
Star Service
"Round-the-clock room service speaks of the intention of exceptional service, which is met not just in print: turndown, shoeshine, valet parking and knowledgeable concierge service." Full review
Gayot
"One of downtown's most comfortable hotels, this property is set amidst a sea of high-rises."
