Time Out "The newest boutique hotel from Avi Brosh, Palihotel sits on Melrose Avenue's prime retail shopping strip." Full review
Gayot "It's about time the flourishing Fairfax District got a hip hotel to compete with the Farmer's Daughter."
BlackBook "An honest-to-goodness boutique hotel, the intimate, 32-room Palihotel is located quite conveniently amidst the Melrose retail and restaurant mayhem."
Fodor's "This design-centric boutique property on lively Melrose Avenue is in the heart of Hollywood's best shopping and dining and contains Hollywood's dining hot-spot, Hart and the Hunter." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Conspicuously, sweetly ironic. The rough-wood facade makes the two-story building look like an oversized log cabin plunked down in the middle of L.A.'s Fairfax district." Full review
Jetsetter "Boho-glam hipster haven with a dialed-down vibe and lively Lowcountry restaurant." Full review
Travel + Leisure "With just 32 rustic-eclectic rooms, this petite boutique's amenities are surprisingly robust." Full review
goop "As for the rooms, they’re spacious and simple, with quirky design flourishes like antique portraits and velvet settees adding personality to an otherwise straightforwardly comfortable design." Full review

Frommer's "Rooms are laid out for relaxation, not business, so travelers with work on their minds should stay elsewhere." Full review
Fodor's "In the 1920s it was a posh beach club catering to the city's elite; now the Casa del Mar is one of SoCal's most luxurious and pricey beachfront hotels." Full review
DK Eyewitness "An imposing presence overlooking Santa Monica Beach, this 1926 beach club has been restored to its original grandeur."
Concierge "On the fourth floor is the Murad Spa—although massages can also be had in poolside cabanas—and the 75-seat, first-floor restaurant, Oceanfront, has spectacular sunset views."
Jetsetter "A mod take on a California beach club, with prime oceanfront views and a top-notch seafood restaurant."
Time Out "Located on the sand, close to Santa Monica's shops and restaurants, this elegant and architecturally significant hotel is a local landmark." Full review
Michelin Guide "An opulent beach club for well-to-do Angelenos in the 1920s, Casa del Mar was neglected after use as a military hotel in World War ll."
Star Service "Boasting a prime location directly on the beach opposite its enchanting Hamptons-inspired kin, Shutters on the Beach, this is Santa Monica's most luxurious beachfront hotel." Full review
Gayot "Santa Monica's landmark on the sand has become a pure jewel by the beach. Casa Del Mar has been lavishly restored to the opulent grandeur it exuded when it opened."
BlackBook "Chill out, Riviera style, in a chaise lounge, pretending it's all really quite a strain on your busy life."
