Frommer's "The "It" hotel of 2011 is the W Hollywood, which opened in January 2010 at the corner of Hollywood and Vine and has been the darling of the dig-me crowd ever since." Full review
Concierge "The 305 studios and suites are done up in a modern palette of whites and grays, but it's the Hollywood location that sets this hotel apart."
Fodor's "Just off the historic intersection of Hollywood and Vine and above a busy Metro station, the W Hollywood is ultra-modern and outfitted for the wired traveler." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Rooms live up to the hype generated by your red-carpet arrival." Full review
Time Out "Nestled in the heart of Hollywood, the glitzy hotel pulls out the red carpet (literally) with its rooftop pool and lounge, grand spiral staircase, Bliss spa and famous Sunday night jazz." Full review
Star Service "In short, it is a modern free-for-all: one part hotel, one part nightclub, one part residential development and one part neon billboard." Full review
Gayot "Located at the legendary crossroads of Hollywood and Vine, this W Hotels' outpost brings the Walk of Fame right to your doorstep."
BlackBook "Extravagant W near HWood tourist hubbub. Business types come for massive party atmo. Rooms typical W, stylish, small."
Zagat4.5
""Never-wanna-get-up beds" tempt guests to "sleep all day" in the "modern" rooms at this "swanky", "pricey" Hollywood hot spot, but few can resist the view from the rooftop pool."

"Located on Hollywood Boulevard, W Hollywood is in the center of the neighborhood's party scene, and its bars and rooftop pool are popular local nightspots." Full review

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."
Zagat4.0
""Step back into '50s Hollywood" at this "fun" Beverly Hills boutique where admirers adore the poolside cabanas, "first-rate" restaurant and "top-notch" bar."
