"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

Upscale
"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.

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."

4.3
"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
