"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

"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.

"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"."
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

"With the exception of the Euro beats pumped into the lobby, the Sofitel does everything right." Full review
Concierge
"The 295 rooms are flooded with light, and the decor... is a grown-up take on California style. The service is just as polished."
Lonely Planet
"The Sofitel is the latest comeback kid among LA's luxe lodges, thanks to a $40 million cash infusion that created a place of sleek sophistication and unfussy ambience." Full review
Time Out
"A shopper's paradise but a driver's nightmare—that's the best way to describe the location of this hotel, close to the Beverly Center in the heart of one of the most congested areas in LA." Full review
Star Service
"This hotel is still the sole French pedigree in the city, and an excellent ambassador for 21st-century Parisian style. " Full review
Gayot
"This 295-room urban retreat underwent a $40 million renovation, resulting in a sophisticated and welcoming nod to the European roots of the Accor group to which it belongs."
BlackBook
"Stunning lobby, plush rooms, super luxe bathrooms stocked with prized Lanvin toiletries. Service beyond impeccable."

Condé Nast Traveler
"The 295 rooms are flooded with light, and the decor—buttery yellow walls, blond wood accents, ivory lacquered chests—is a grown-up take on California style." Full review
