Concierge "Snuck in among the posh apartment buildings on the north end of Santa Monica's beachfront boulevard, the revamped Oceana looks and feels more like a home."
Fodor's "Generous-size suites, soundproofed windows, an open-air courtyard and pool, and ocean proximity add up to a delightful boutique hotel." Full review
DK Eyewitness "One of Santa Monica’s prettiest hotels, the Oceana has flirtatiously colorful decor reminiscent of the French Riviera. Many of the large suites have views of the ocean."

"Snuck in among the posh apartment buildings on the north end of Santa Monica’s beachfront boulevard, the revamped Oceana looks and feels more like a home." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Lime green, eggshell blue, and canary yellow compose the punchy palette at this retro-beach-style boutique hotel." Full review
Time Out "Across the street from the beach and a short walking distance from downtown Santa Barbara’s restaurant and bar scene, Hotel Oceana’s location cannot be beat." Full review
Star Service " In fact, this remains the best small hotel in Santa Monica." Full review
Gayot "A fresh, bright, airy and comfortable alternative to the massive, and generally impersonal corporate hotels, the Oceana is across the street from the bluffs overlooking Santa Monica beach."
BlackBook "Just steps from the beach and the 3rd Street Promenade. All suites—and really very sweet on service and private beauty."
Zagat4.3
""Gorgeous" rooms and suites (with Frette towels, Egyptian cotton linens and high-def TVs) in a "beautiful deco building" across from the beach in Santa Monica set this "lovely, intimate" find apart."

"This iconic Beverly Hills hotel is a top luxury pick for business or leisure, families or romance." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Overlooking Rodeo Drive, this dignified 1928 hotel has hosted royalty many times and featured prominently in the 1990 movie Pretty Woman."
Time Out "The ornate detailing on this Four Seasons-operated gem...recalls 19th-century French splendor, but recent additions such as a Richard Meier-designed restaurant add 21st-century sophistication." Full review
Star Service "This deluxe hotel is evolving with the times, hosting celebrities and exclusive powwows, entertaining well-heeled business travelers, tourists and even HerbaLife conventions." Full review
BlackBook "Dignity and refinement—they roll out the red carpet. Not as liberal towards streetwalkers with hearts of gold in the lobby as Pretty Woman made us think, but Richard Gere certainly welcome."
Zagat4.5
""Impeccable" service from a "staff at the top of its game", plus "gorgeous" rooms and "elegant" suites with outstanding amenities."
Gayot "The lobby of this stately hotel, a landmark in Beverly Hills since 1928, is outfitted like a Regency/Directoire-era dream, with a trove of gorgeous antiques."
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"The amenities are very much up-to-the-minute, both in the original Italian Renaissance wing and in the newer addition." Full review
