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."

"It's best known for its sexy bar and pool scenes, but the Viceroy boasts substance as well." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The couple behind the stylish Maison 140 and Avalon has created a fantasy environment that transports guests back in time to Colonial England."
Concierge "This 162-room hotel was so hot when it opened in 2002 that it immediately became the Viceroy Group's flagship hotel."

Try to get one of the rooms on the upper floors, with views of the ocean a couple of blocks away.
Frommer's "Still on L.A.'s coveted "in" list, is this überchic Santa Monica boutique hotel." Full review
i
Splurge for an oceanview room; the only other view is of the hotel parking lot.
Travel + Leisure "Though the exterior—a white boxy slab—doesn’t invite a second glance, the interiors here marry retro-chic with pure whimsy." Full review
Time Out "A decade on from its 2002 opening, the Viceroy remains the hippest hotel on the west side. More crucially, though, it's also its most stylish and impressive operation." Full review
Star Service "Young, well-heeled business and leisure travelers and those who deplore a fuss do best here. " Full review
Gayot "China plates and an oversized cameo adorn the walls of the lobby, filled with white-leather lounges and wooden floors."
