Fodor's "The most opulent of Disney's Anaheim hotels, this Craftsman-style luxury property has guest rooms with views of the California Adventure park and Downtown Disney." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The price tag is a bit steep at this 751-room resort designed in richly wooded Craftsman style, but standard rooms sleep up to two adults and four kids."
Frommer's "Disney didn't miss the details when constructing this enormous version of an Arts and Crafts-era lodge... hiring craftspeople... to contribute one-of-a-kind tiles, furniture, sculpture, and artwork." Full review
Jetsetter "Disney's Grand Californian is the first hotel to be built inside a Disney park, and the American Craftsman hotel combines luxe amenities with family fun — and function." Full review

If you want to avoid lines, book The Magic Morning package offered to guests of the three Disneyland Resort hotels that lets you into the park an hour before the official 8 A.M. opening.
Lonely Planet "Soaring timber beams rise above the cathedral-like lobby of the six-story Grand Californian, Disney’s homage to the Arts and Crafts architectural movement."
Travel + Leisure "Disneyland's choicest digs, done in traditional Craftsman style. In addition to kid- and adult-friendly fare, California Adventure Park is just a turnstile away. Everybody wins." Full review
Time Out "This Disney hotel aims to blur the lines between luxury and fantasy: the 745-room property is effectively an extension to Disney's California Adventure." Full review
Michelin Guide "Built in early 20C Craftsman style, this hotel is reminiscent of the great national-park lodges."
Star Service "Service is friendly, but ebbs and flows like the tide. Nevertheless, effort is always on the table, and there's nothing the staff won't do to please." Full review
Gayot "This luxury hotel redefines the Disneyland you know and love by providing top quality, even lavish accommodations for discerning theme park guests."

If you're a light sleeper, request a room away from the pool area, where the occasional nighttime pool party can get loud.
Concierge "These days, the Avalon also includes two newer buildings, and the property's style is a hip homage to mid-century-modern style."
DK Eyewitness "This cool Beverly Hills hot spot has intimately lit cabanas that fringe the curvaceous pool."
Rough Guide "A hipster-oriented hotel with cosy rooms and modern furnishings, along with in-room CD players, balconies and internet access (for a fee)."
Travel + Leisure "Hidden down a tree-lined street, this hotel’s three separate buildings are all decorated in quirky, Nixon-era style." Full review
Time Out "Mediterranean charm abounds at this posh hotel’s restaurant and bar, Oliverio." Full review
Star Service "Located at South Canon Drive, a half-mile south of Wilshire Boulevard, this hotel sits in a more down-to-earth section of Beverly Hills that contributes to its moderate rates." Full review
Gayot "In 1998, Kor Hotel Group took it over and did a complete renovation, creating a hip retro-fifties-style hotel."
BlackBook "Slamming pool scene goes off after work for Beverly Hills happy hours working on getting happier."
