Oyster3.0
"This 77-room, midrange boutique hotel is one of the most environmentally focused hotels in Southern California." Full review
Rough Guide "Excellent choice for inland Santa Monica with Craftsman-styled decor and boutique rooms that have internet access and include continental breakfast."
Fodor's "An air of tranquillity pervades the four-story Ambrose, which blends right into its mostly residential Santa Monica neighborhood." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The property features four floors, 77 guest rooms and is a short drive to the beach and Third Street Promenade shopping corridor." Full review
Time Out "This boutique avoids the stereotypical super-sunny decor prevalent in so many Santa Monica hotels, preferring a cultured mixture of sturdy Craftsman tradition and Asian chic." Full review
Star Service "Located on the east side of Santa Monica at Arizona Avenue, in a quiet neighborhood just south of Wilshire Boulevard, this notable LEED Silver-certified property puts a stylish sheen on green design." Full review
Gayot "The Ambrose fuses twentieth-century Craftsman design with an Asian influence, steering away from the too cool and edgy feel of a lot of hip urban properties."
Zagat4.2
""Luxurious" yet "eco-friendly", this Santa Monica boutique "in a quiet neighborhood" may not be on the beach, but admirers "love" its Asian accents and "oh-so-comfy" ambiance."
Lonely Planet "This sustainable boutique hotel beautifully blends Craftsman and Asian aesthetics and goes the extra mile when it comes to being green." Full review

"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
