The Bar/Lounge at Andaz West Hollywood

"There's a nice pool on the roof with giant round loungers that are first-come, first-served"

"The hotel's hot spots are the rooftop pool and the Riot House bar, still lively but more subdued than in the days of those naughty rock stars rumored to have thrown TVs off the hotel's balconies"

"Rock star antics confined to the bar now: the famous, TV-throwing balconies are no longer"

"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" overlooking West Hollywood and an "excellent" on-site restaurant has "quieted down" despite its "good bar scene" and proximity to many nightlife "hot spots"; the "big", "comfortable" rooms featuring "lush furnishings" and "excellent" service help lure in a "young, hipster crowd"

", a see-and-be-seen lobby bar, and only the most central location on the Sunset Strip"

"Guests of this modern, glamorous Andaz won’t find paparazzi-hungry starlets holding court poolside or lingering around the hotel bar and restaurant RH—and that’s a good thing"

"Sip a bit of tea or a glass of wine in the lounge and wander over to the wide-open hotel restaurant, Riot House, and its equally open kitchen that serves Southern French–accented dishes made with California ingredients"

"Rather than lining up at a traditional reception area, hosts seat guests in the loungelike lobby space while information is retrieved and keys are issued"
