Avoid only summer, when morning fog can hang over the coast and the boardwalk gets crowded.
Fodor's "A school of 300 ceramic fish crossing a lobby wall sets the tone at this stylish property." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Santa Monica’s newest and most stylish boutique nest offers olive-green rooms with chocolate-wood furnishings, lush linens and designer suites with mid-century style seating." Full review
Oyster4.0
"A design-conscious, thoroughly un-beachy 18-floor hotel in the center of a beachside community with an exceptional restaurant." Full review
Time Out "There's something of the W chain about this operation, located in the building that previously housed a branch of the unremarkable Radisson chain." Full review
Star Service "With that said, travelers here may have to work to get to the action, but they are still within strolling distance of the pier, beach, shopping and entertainment." Full review
Gayot "This intimate residential tower is set amidst quaint seaside apartment buildings and cottages just blocks from the sea cliffs above the Santa Monica Beach and Pier."
BlackBook "Ocean chic is what it's all about at this it hotel on the shores of tawny Santa Monica. Seaside retreat, but with a touch of cool."
Zagat4.3
""Modern" accommodations with "large" bathrooms and "beautiful" linens stand out at this "trendy" Santa Monica find with "spectacular" bay views from the "cool" penthouse restaurant."
Jetsetter "The genius of designer Thomas Schoos, who headed an $18 million renovation in 2005, brought this hotel into the realm of the uniquely hip." Full review

"The famed Hollywood Hyatt House (aka Riot House) has been reopened as an Andaz, Hyatt’s mod urban brand." 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.
" Full review
Gayot "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."
Zagat4.3
"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"."
Fodor's "On the north side of the Sunset Strip, the ANdAZ is a youthful update of the former Hyatt West Hollywood, catering to hipsters, techies, and rock stars." Full review
Afar Magazine "These days, the rock-star legacy carries on mostly in hotel lifestyle: free minibar snacks replenished daily, a personal everything-you-need Andaz Host, and the highest rooftop pool in L.A." Full review
